We’re excited to announce that Capsa AI has successfully closed a £1.7 million seed round, just 8 months after our founding! In that short time, we’ve become a revenue-generating platform, serving top private equity funds managing over $30 billion across the US, UK, and Germany. Capsa AI is designed to transform how private equity firms conduct due diligence by automating manual, time-consuming tasks that traditionally consume up to 25% of their time, such as creating company profiles, consolidating financial data, and reviewing contracts. This allows investors to focus on the high-value, strategic aspects of dealmaking. With our technology, PE investors can increase their capacity to assess more potential deals while dedicating more time to creating value. Over the coming months, Capsa AI will help private equity funds harness their historical deal data to make smarter investment decisions. Since launching, we’ve worked closely with leading PE funds to develop tailored features, resulting in a 20% reduction in due diligence time and a 90% customer satisfaction score. Our attention to PE-specific workflows has been a key factor in our success. This seed round was led by Outward VC, with participation from Cornerstone VC and Antler, as well as angel investors like Chris Adelsbach and senior professionals from top private equity firms and tech unicorns. This is a major milestone in our mission to transform private equity with AI-powered solutions, and we’re deeply grateful for the support of our customers, employees, and investors.
