A UK private equity firm transformed its investment process by replacing weeks of manual research with AI-powered due diligence, now delivering results in under 10 minutes.

The challenge: Analysts trapped in manual work

Before DealPotential, analysts spent the bulk of their day:

  • Googling companies, investors, and market news

  • Cross-checking multiple sources to verify financials and ownership

  • Copy-pasting data into spreadsheets to create risk summaries

  • Benchmarking comparables manually for valuations

  • Piecing together disconnected information to build investment theses

80% of their time went into collecting data, leaving only a fraction for actual analysis, risk assessment, and strategic recommendations. The team needed more than raw numbers—they needed actionable insights to guide partnerships, acquisitions, and exits.

The solution: DealPotential’s AI-powered due diligence

When they ran their first diligence through DealPotential, the difference was immediate.

“We’d tried other AI tools before, but they all required tedious cross-checking. DealPotential just worked. Within minutes, we had a structured, ready-to-use due diligence view,” said the firm’s VP of Investments.

The results

  • 20× faster due diligence: 3 weeks of manual work condensed into a 10-minute AI analysis

  • Full risk coverage: Automated cross-verification of financial, operational, and market signals

  • Sharper strategic recommendations: Analysts focused on investment thesis, exit opportunities, and partnership synergies

  • Cost efficiency: One tool replaced multiple platforms, saving thousands per diligence

DealPotential helped the private equity firm move from reactive reviews to proactive, strategy-led decision-making.

Search, benchmarking, and list creation happen in seconds.
