Growth equity

Growth equity firms need strong relationship management practices, efficient capital deployments, and finely tuned investment themes in order to compete in today’s competitive deal landscape. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and generic CRM platforms can’t effectively support growth equity firms because they were built to support a different business model — a model that doesn’t take nuanced strategy into account.

 

DealCloud provides growth equity investors with industry – leading capabilities for sourcing, deal management, fundraising, and investor relations. No matter the size of your firm or the specificity of your investment mandate, the platform can be easily configured to align with your current business development and deal tracking processes.

 

The development and rise of vertical-specific CRMs, like DealCloud, has made it easier for growth equity firms to keep all their contacts, activities, and other critical information in one place. But DealCloud is more than just CRM. Equipped with transaction workflow capabilities and team collaboration functionalities, DealCloud’s growth equity CRM offers a state-of-the-art deal and relationship management system for growth equity investors.

Growth equity CRM software features and solutions

Growth equity firms, no matter the size, need the ability to manage relationships, transactions, processes, workflows, and the operations and compliance of the overall firm. Our software allows growth equity firms to keep track of every relationship by allowing dealmakers to categorize, tag, organize, and report on their relationship data (companies, contacts, deals, etc.) in any way that they choose. Put simply, the growth equity CRM adapts to the unique ways each growth equity firm works. And because the tagging and reporting capabilities are so flexible, these firms are able to track their progress towards goals such as fundraising, capital deployment, and dealmaker productivity. DealCloud’s private equity CRM tools enable growth equity firms to source deals more effectively.

Solution overview:

CRM

With the increasingly complex nature of relationships in the capital markets, Rolodexes, spreadsheets, and industry-agnostic CRMs are no longer the best tool for the job. DealCloud’s industry-specific platform centralizes communication and relationship data and helps growth equity professionals transform day-to-day activities into actionable relationship intelligence.

Business development

In order to succeed, credit and leveraged finance investors must embrace the role of technology in drumming up new opportunities. DealCloud’s credit and leveraged finance software provides business development professionals with all the tools they need.

Pipeline management

DealCloud’s vertical-specific technology was designed to handle the nuances of complex transactions with many participants. Our leveraged finance software helps firms transform the way they approach, track, and accelerate deals as they move through every stage in the pipeline, from origination to execution.

Actionable data

Credit and leveraged finance professionals need to maintain visibility on every corner of the market in order to compete. That’s why we created DataCortex, an integrated data solution that allows dealmakers to manage proprietary and third–party data in one unified platform, empowering them to transform that data into institutional knowledge.

Compliance

DealCloud’s software enables lenders and credit advisors to accelerate conflict resolution by streamlining critical risk-management activities within a unified deal, relationship, and compliance management platform. Gain visibility into increasingly complex and demanding deal terms by centralizing, streamlining, and indexing transaction-related and other documents.

Reporting and analytics

DealCloud’s growth equity CRM unifies data, systems, and people with fully interactive reporting on your most important metrics, accessible anywhere, at any time. Since DealCloud was designed with the busy dealmaker in mind, every dashboard, chart, graph, tearsheet, data sheet, and profile can be customized to meet each user’s preferences and interests.

DealCloud differentiators

Unlike other growth equity CRMs and software platforms, DealCloud was built by private equity investors, for private equity investors. Our technology centralizes unorganized data and transforms it into meaningful intelligence with easy-to-read, interactive dashboards and automated reports. Users can elect to receive notifications and automated reports with predictive insights via email, web, and mobile. Notifications can be scheduled, such as weekly pipeline reports, or triggered by certain activities within the platform, such as the creation of a new deal or logged note.

 

Since our platform was built by industry experts, we know that not all growth equity firms operate in the same way. The pipeline, relationship management, and reporting needs of one user, team, division, or company may differ greatly from the next. That’s why our users have the power and precise control to tailor DealCloud on a user by user basis so that every individual has the tools and the views in front of them necessary to facilitate the flow of information intuitively, simply, and with the right levels of access.
