Challenges and Solutions

We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Reducing investment committee cycles
Your deal teams often spend 5-7 days synthesizing financial, legal, and commercial reports into cohesive IC memos. This manual synthesis creates bottlenecks when rapid restructuring is required close to deadlines.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets ingests data rooms instantly, drafting comprehensive memos with granular citations to cut your preparation time from days to hours.

Managing buy-and-build deal volume
Analyzing over 200 CIMs annually per professional strains your capacity to identify the best targets for your portfolio strategies. Manual review limits your ability to execute high-velocity add-on acquisitions effectively.
How Brightwave Helps:

Process 15 deals in the time it usually takes to review one. Our AI analyzes CIMs 25x faster, allowing your team to screen more targets without increasing headcount.

Synthesizing complex diligence data
Combining operational, financial, and legal due diligence streams often leads to late-stage findings that require last-minute memo restructuring. These pivots jeopardize your deal timelines and decision quality.
How Brightwave Helps:

Instantly synthesize thousands of pages across all diligence streams. Brightwave surfaces critical insights immediately, preventing late-stage surprises in your investment process.

Ensuring rigor in rapid evaluations
Speed often compromises depth, making it difficult to validate every data point within compressed upper-mid market deal timelines. You need assurance that rapid analysis is backed by source truth.
How Brightwave Helps:

Every insight generated is linked directly to the source document with sentence-level citations. Your team can verify claims instantly, ensuring high conviction in your investment recommendations.
