We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Your IC memo cycles are consuming valuable deal time
Your team's rigorous approach to control buyouts means IC memos require multiple review cycles—often 5-7 days of back-and-forth. When late-stage DD findings surface, your analysts scramble to restructure memos close to IC deadlines, risking quality or timing.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets generates IC-ready investment memos in hours from your complete data rooms. Sentence-level citations link every insight to source documents, so your reviewers can verify findings instantly and reduce revision cycles dramatically.

Your buy-and-build pipeline overwhelms your team
Your strategy demands evaluating numerous software platform and add-on targets simultaneously. With 50-200 CIMs crossing your desk annually, your professionals spend more time on document triage than strategic analysis of operational value creation opportunities.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets delivers 25x faster CIM analysis—process 15 deals in the time your team used to spend on one. Your analysts can now focus on identifying transformation potential and synergies that drive your buy-and-build thesis forward.

Your due diligence synthesis drains senior resources
Your due diligence intensive approach generates mountains of financial, legal, commercial, and operational reports. Synthesizing these disparate streams into cohesive investment narratives pulls your senior team away from portfolio operations and exit optimization work.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets automatically synthesizes your complete DD materials into comprehensive analysis with granular citations. Your senior professionals reclaim hours each week to focus on the portfolio company transformation that defines your value creation model.

Your competitive edge depends on faster, deeper analysis
In upper mid-market software deals, you're competing against well-resourced firms for the same quality assets. Your operational value creation thesis requires deeper diligence than competitors, but traditional workflows force a tradeoff between speed and thoroughness.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets eliminates that tradeoff. Starting at $200/month versus $833+ for enterprise alternatives, your team gains instant processing power to outpace competitors on both speed and analytical depth—turning your diligence intensity into a true differentiator.
