About DEALWISE

We build the operating system for institutional private market investing, designed by people who have run deal teams, investment committees and asset management functions.

Who we are

Built for the investment office, by investment practitioners

DEALWISE began with a simple observation: institutions had invested heavily in front-office analytics and back-office accounting, but the process that actually creates and protects value, the investment lifecycle itself, was still run on spreadsheets, inboxes and shared drives.

We set out to build the missing layer. Not a CRM adapted for deals, and not a data warehouse with a dashboard on top, but a system that models how institutional capital is actually committed, governed, monitored and realised.

The result is a platform where the pipeline, the committee decision, the diligence finding, the valuation, the covenant test and the exit reconciliation are all the same record at different points in its life.

What we believe

Four principles behind the product

One record, one truth

If a number appears in two places, it should come from the same source. Reconciliation work is a sign that it does not.

Governance is part of the product

Delegated authority, segregation of duties and audit evidence belong in the workflow, not in a policy document nobody opens.

The institution should remember

When someone leaves, the reasoning behind their decisions should stay. Knowledge belongs to the organisation.

Configuration over customisation

Your administrators should be able to change stages, thresholds and taxonomies without a vendor change request.

Standards we align to

ILPA Principles
