The Problem

Private Equity associates screen 200 deals to fund 2 — the screening work is where deals get missed and where junior time gets burned.

What We Build in PitchBook

AI pre-screens deals against the fund's thesis in PitchBook, drafts a one-page summary per target, and pushes the top 10 to partner review — associate time goes to judgment, not triage. Purpose-built for teams running PitchBook — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in PitchBook with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
