Challenges and Solutions
We Know What Keeps You Up at Night
Shortening your IC memo cycles
Your team currently spends 5-7 days synthesizing financial and legal reports, often requiring stressful restructuring close to committee deadlines. This manual synthesis delays critical investment decisions.
How Brightwave Helps:
Brightwave transforms 2,000+ pages of due diligence into IC-ready memos in hours, allowing your team to focus on thesis validation rather than document processing.
Synthesizing complex deal data
Combining disjointed financial, commercial, and legal data streams into a cohesive transformation strategy is manually intensive and prone to oversight. You need to connect operational realities with financial models efficiently.
How Brightwave Helps:
Our AI connects insights across every document in the data room with sentence-level citations, ensuring your operational value creation thesis is rigorously data-backed.
Scaling your buy-and-build pipeline
Analyzing 50-200 CIMs annually creates a bottleneck that limits your ability to identify the best add-on opportunities for your portfolio. High volume often leads to missed synergies.
How Brightwave Helps:
Process 15 deals in the time it usually takes to review one, expanding your coverage universe and identifying buy-and-build targets without increasing headcount.
Mitigating late-stage diligence risks
Late-discovered findings often force last-minute memo rewrites, putting your deal timelines and credibility at risk before the investment committee. You need to catch red flags earlier.
How Brightwave Helps:
Instantly surface critical operational risks and red flags upon upload, ensuring your investment committee has the full picture immediately rather than days later.
