The Challenge

The Challenge

The firm's 100+ active portfolio companies deliver quarterly board reports and financial statements. Standardizing and inputting this data was entirely manual — time-consuming and error-prone. Worse, the opportunity to extract benchmarks, compare performance, and forecast fund outcomes was being missed. An early MVP existed but needed a complete rebuild to become production-grade.

The Solution

We inherited the MVP and rebuilt the application from the ground up, deploying a cross-functional team in close collaboration with the firm's product and finance teams.

Why This Matters

When 100+ portfolio companies report quarterly, the difference between manual spreadsheets and a purpose-built platform is measured in days of analyst time, LP reporting accuracy, and the quality of fund-level forecasting. This platform became the financial backbone of the firm's investment operations — used daily by associates, principals, partners, and finance teams to benchmark performance, model scenarios, and prepare LP reports with confidence.
