AI-powered market due diligence for investment decisions
DiligenceSquared delivers AI-powered market due diligence for investment decisions - like the $500k McKinsey reports, but automated, auditable, and at a fraction of the cost. When Private Equity funds evaluate deals, they pay firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain $500K-$1M for market due diligence. The process takes weeks, and the output is a static PowerPoint that's impossible to audit. A single large-cap PE fund can spend >$30M annually on this and the total market is $10B per year. Our AI agents conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights with every claim linked to source transcripts. No black box, no "trust me" slides, and no 10x mark-up for human labor. Frederik bought these reports as a Principal at Blackstone. Soren sold them as a Principal at BCG. Harshil is a repeat founder and former Software Engineer at Google. We've seen both sides and know what matters in due diligence - and now we automate it. Our clients already include 8 leading private equity funds with over $2.4 trillion in combined AUM.
Frederik is the CEO and Co-founder of DiligenceSquared. Before DiligenceSquared, Frederik was a Principal in Blackstone's Private Equity team across San Francisco, New York, and London, doing multi-billion dollar buyout deals. He was a key decision-maker on the buy-side of commercial due diligence projects, commissioning dozens of $500K+ reports from firms like McKinsey and BCG. He knows what makes diligence credible to investors - and where traditional consulting wastes time and money.
Soren is the COO and Co-founder of DiligenceSquared. Before DiligenceSquared, Soren was a Principal at BCG's Private Equity team in New York, focusing on commercial due diligence for some of the world's largest private equity, growth equity, and hedge funds. He led 40+ commercial due diligence projects and knows the workflows intricately - what insights investors actually need and how AI can deliver them faster and better.
Our AI agents conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights into fully auditable reports – replacing the $500K+ due diligence work from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain.
DiligenceSquared automates market due diligence for private equity funds by using AI agents to conduct expert interviews and produce auditable reports with every claim linked to source transcripts, offering faster, transparent, and lower-cost insights for deals previously priced at $500K+.
