LP clarity across private markets

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building a platform that provides limited partners with clear, accurate insights into their private market investments. Clarus consolidates data from various private market funds and offers transparency and understanding into portfolio performance, fees, and fund terms. This helps LPs manage and evaluate their private investments more effectively.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is the center of private market investing, so it keeps us close to our users and partners. Being here helps us stay in touch with the market realities and build trust with LPs.
