DiligenceSquared의 사업 내용

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.

AI-powered market due diligence

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

We built an AI platform that automates market due diligence for investment decisions. It conducts expert interviews via AI agents and synthesizes the insights with every claim linked back to source transcripts. This replaces expensive, manual reports from consultancies like McKinsey, but with full transparency and at a fraction of the cost.

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

We currently live and work in New York City, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

NYC is where we have our networks in private equity and consulting, and where our early clients are. Being here gives us direct market access to customers who buy due diligence reports.
