DiligenceSquared

DiligenceSquared is transforming investment decision-making by providing AI-driven market due diligence. We offer a solution comparable to traditional $500,000 McKinsey reports, but with enhanced automation, auditability, and significantly reduced costs. This empowers private equity funds to make more informed and efficient investment choices.

Currently, Private Equity firms allocate substantial budgets, ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, to firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain for market due diligence during deal evaluations. This process is time-consuming, often taking weeks, and results in static PowerPoint presentations that lack auditability. A single large-cap PE fund can spend upwards of $30 million annually on these reports, contributing to a total market size of $10 billion per year.

DiligenceSquared's AI agents conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights, ensuring every claim is linked to its source transcript. This transparent approach eliminates the 'black box' effect and reliance on unsubstantiated claims, while also avoiding the inflated costs associated with manual labor.

The founding team brings extensive experience to the table. Frederik previously purchased these reports as a Principal at Blackstone, while Soren sold them as a Principal at BCG. Harshil is a seasoned founder and former Software Engineer at Google. This unique blend of perspectives allows us to understand and automate the critical aspects of due diligence.

We are already serving eight leading private equity funds with a combined AUM of over $2.4 trillion, demonstrating the value and impact of our AI-powered solution.
