Being named a finalist signals measurable impact across:

• Data accuracy and governance
• Operational efficiency
• Scalability of investment operations
• Client and investor outcomes

In today’s environment, these are core to how firms compete.

The Shift in Private Markets Operations

Private markets are growing rapidly, but operational models have not kept pace.

Firms continue to face a fundamental challenge:

Critical investment data remains trapped in unstructured documents.

From capital call notices and financial statements to valuation reports and compliance certificates, the majority of data still arrives in PDFs, emails, and investor portals. This creates bottlenecks that impact:

• Valuation timelines
• Portfolio visibility
• Risk monitoring
• Investor reporting

As complexity increases, these manual processes become increasingly difficult to scale.

To address this, leading firms are investing in platforms that can transform how data is sourced, structured, and delivered across the organization.

Alkymi enables this transformation by converting unstructured documents into structured, validated, and audit-ready data that integrates directly into downstream systems.

This allows teams to:

• Automate document-heavy workflows
• Improve accuracy and consistency of valuation inputs
• Create a single system of record across investment data
• Deliver faster, more transparent insights to stakeholders

The result is not just efficiency, but stronger operational control and better decision-making.

Enabling Scalable Valuation Workflows

Valuation processes sit at the center of private markets operations, yet they are often constrained by fragmented data and manual inputs.

By automating data extraction and standardization across key documents, Alkymi helps firms:

• Accelerate valuation cycles
• Reduce operational risk
• Ensure consistency across portfolios
• Support auditability and compliance requirements

As firms scale, this becomes critical to maintaining both speed and accuracy.

Private markets firms are moving toward more integrated, data-driven operating models, where automation, governance, and real-time visibility are foundational.

We are honored to be recognized alongside other innovators shaping the future of private markets technology.
