DiligenceSquared Inc.
AI-powered market due diligence for investment decisions
Hey everyone!
We're Frederik, Soren, and Harshil – co-founders of DiligenceSquared.
TL;DR
DiligenceSquared automates market due diligence for private equity funds. Our AI agents conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights into fully auditable reports – replacing the $500K+ due diligence work from McKinsey, BCG, and Bain.
We have deep expertise from senior industry positions at Blackstone, BCG and Google. Frederik bought this research at Blackstone, and Soren sold it at BCG.
Our clients already include two of the world's five largest PE funds and several mid-market funds demonstrating the broad appeal of our technology.

❌ The Problem
Private equity funds spend >$10B annually on commercial due diligence. A standard engagement:
- Costs $500K-$1M per project
- Takes 2-4 weeks to deliver
- Relies on junior Associates often only 1-2 years out of university
- Provides zero transparency – no way to trace PowerPoint conclusions back to underlying evidence
The result: Funds delay diligence until the last minute because it's too expensive to do early or skip it entirely on smaller deals. In increasingly competitive capital markets, this creates a real disadvantage.
✅ Our Solution
Our AI agents autonomously conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights with every claim linked directly to source transcripts. The advantages are significant:
- Speed & Scale: Parallel process interviews in local language and instantly synthesize insights with AI.
- Transparency and depth: Trace any insight back to its underlying source, such as exact quote in interview transcripts. No black box, no "trust me" slides.
- Cost: Fraction of traditional fees—making diligence economical for deals that couldn't justify it before.
As one Managing Director at a PE fund told us: "80% of the insight at 5% of the cost. It's a no-brainer for early-stage Commercial Due Diligence."
🤝 The Team
