DealForge AI

It replaces weeks of manual research and spreadsheet modeling with AI-powered analysis that delivers insights in minutes.

How to use DealForge AI

Users begin by uploading documents such as CIMs, financial statements, or contracts. The AI then extracts key data, flags risks, and generates summaries. From there, you can utilize the built-in LBO and cap table modeling tools to instantly calculate IRR, MOIC, and ownership structures. The platform's 'Red Team Agent' can be used to challenge or strengthen deal theses. For collaboration, team members can be invited to discuss analyses using threaded discussions and @mentions. Finally, the portfolio intelligence feature allows for tracking key PE metrics and benchmarking performance across all investments.
