Active PE / growth-equity funds
SAM of roughly $96M–$144M from boutique diligence firms alone at Operator-tier pricing. The three-sided platform — buy-side, sell-side, and capital providers — expands this further.
Why now
Three forces converging.
- The wealth shift. Acquisition volume at the low end of the mid-market is rising — and these buyers have no structured tools.
- Harder diligence. Sellers enter earlier and closings are slower; buyers underwriting AI disruption and operational fragility need structured findings, not a spreadsheet.
- AI maturity. Diligence-grade multi-domain reasoning became viable in 2024. The moat isn't the model — it's the benchmark dataset that compounds every run.
