Challenges and Solutions

We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Your IC memo review cycles are consuming valuable deal time
Your team spends 5-7 days cycling through multiple review rounds before IC deadlines. When late-discovered DD findings emerge, your analysts scramble to restructure memos under pressure, risking errors and delayed decisions on promising software targets.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets processes your entire data room in minutes, generating comprehensive IC memos with sentence-level citations. Your team can instantly update deliverables when new findings surface, eliminating last-minute restructuring panic.

Your CIM analysis bottleneck limits deal flow capacity
Evaluating growth minority opportunities in software requires deep analysis of complex financial models and market positioning. Your current process means passing on deals simply because your team can't process enough CIMs to maintain competitive sourcing against Accel-KKR and Spectrum.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets delivers 25x faster CIM analysis, letting your team process 15 deals in the time it used to take for one. Expand your pipeline without expanding headcount—evaluate more software opportunities while your competitors are still on their first read.

Your analysts are buried in document synthesis instead of analysis
Your due diligence intensive approach means combining financial, legal, commercial, and operational reports across 2,000+ pages per deal. Your senior talent spends days on document synthesis rather than the strategic analysis that drives your portfolio operations advantage.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets automatically synthesizes your entire data room into structured analysis with granular citations linking every insight to source materials. Free your team to focus on the strategic evaluation and exit optimization that differentiates your approach.

Your diligence depth suffers under compressed timelines
Competitive software deals demand both speed and thoroughness. When Mainsail or other competitors move fast, your commitment to rigorous due diligence creates tension—rushing risks missing critical issues, while methodical review risks losing the deal entirely.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets maintains your diligence standards while matching competitor speed. Generate comprehensive investment analysis in hours with every claim traced to source documents, so your thorough approach becomes a competitive advantage rather than a constraint.
