Keye (YC F24)

Keye (YC F24) empowers private equity investors to achieve superior returns with smarter, faster due diligence. Navigating the due diligence process is labor-intensive. Typically, firms only diligence ~20% of deals. Traditional AI tools merely summarize data, leaving critical insights untapped — risking lost high-value opportunities and errors that can cost millions. Keye AI transforms the due diligence landscape by instantly generating thousands of complex analyses from raw data, from cohort to retention, and distills these into actionable, auditable insights. Keye’s mantra: "Stop Summarizing, Start Analyzing!" Conor Brown and Rohan Parikh, CFA bring 14 years of experience in dealmaking from top firms like Vista Equity Partners and Goldman Sachs, managing due diligence for transactions totaling over $20B. Lalit Lal has been an early engineer for several years at leading AI companies, participating in two private equity exits. With Keye, they're helping investors save time, make better investments, do more deals, and see superior returns. Congrats on the launch, Rohan, Conor, and Lalit! ?? https://lnkd.in/gg2JMFD5

Had a great time speaking at PitchBook's ???????? ??????????: ???? ?????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????????? ?????????????????????????? webinar (link in the comments)! It was great to chat with emerging leaders in the space about how AI is already changing the game in private equity. Back when I started my career,?I saw firsthand on trading floors how data-driven decision-making augmented by computational analytics and automation went from being a nice-to-have to a must-have. given the cognitive capabilities of AI-driven systems, private equity is undergoing that same shift—AI isn’t some far-off concept; it’s actively reshaping how firms source deals, conduct diligence, and drive value. Huge thanks to James Ulan at PitchBook for leading a great discussion, and to Mamal Amini and Esther Chiang for sharing their insights. Always great connecting with others who are pushing this space forward! If your team is thinking about how AI can speed up diligence and uncover insights faster, or you’re just curious about how firms are actually using AI today, this session is worth a listen. Excited to keep driving this forward with Keye! #PrivateEquity #AI #TechTalks #PitchBook #DueDiligence

AI will take over private equity in the next 10 years. PE shops who ignore it will fall behind.. and their competitors who embrace it will win. New and cutting edge models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, etc. are being creatively deployed to accelerate the time it takes to find, source and execute a PE buyout. That's why I'm excited to host three leading entrepreneurs who are building AI tools for private equity. Our panel, AI for Private Equity, will be this Thursday at 1 pm EST. We'll hear from our incredible panel of entrepreneurs: Rohan Parikh, at Keye (YC F24) which provides AI-powered diligence. Mamal Amini, at GovernGPT.ai, the leading AI tool for investor relations. Esther Chiang at SmartEsq, AI for private fund legal work. Sign up here -> https://lnkd.in/gHeWw-vf
