Alkymi is Transforming How LPs Review Pitch Decks

by Nate Byerly

Pitch Decks

Institutional Investor recently highlighted how LPs, asset managers, and analysts are embracing AI to streamline due diligence. Rather than replacing human judgment in investment decisions, AI is being used to accelerate processes, enhance productivity, and free up time for higher-value activities.

Asset managers are adopting increasingly sophisticated applications of AI, from generating research to producing due diligence reports. Tasks that once required hours of manual work can now be completed in a fraction of the time, allowing analysts and portfolio managers to shift their focus to client relationships and strategic investment decisions.

This trend is not isolated to a handful of firms. Across the industry, LPs are rethinking how they evaluate managers as the private funds landscape becomes more crowded. With more strategies, more GPs, and more documents than ever before, allocators are juggling a rapidly expanding set of decisions:

  • Pre-investment: Teams sift through teasers, CIMs, pitch decks, and committee memos to find the right opportunities to deploy capital.
  • Post-close: The paperwork only increases, with financial statements, covenant monitoring reports, agent notices, borrowing base certificates, and more.

The challenge is not just the volume of documents. It’s the fact that every manager, administrator, and agent presents information differently, making it difficult to standardize, compare, and act on data quickly. AI offers a powerful solution by helping firms process diverse documents with greater consistency, speed, and accuracy, supporting smarter and faster decision-making in an increasingly complex environment.

The Pitch Deck Bottleneck

Pitch decks should provide a clear window into a fund manager’s strategy and performance. In practice, the glossy formatting often creates friction, with each fund having its own way of presenting performance. LPs spend hours flipping through slides and rebuilding tables in spreadsheets just to compare managers side by side. That is valuable time that could instead be spent assessing risks, evaluating strategic fit, or understanding how prospective investments complement the existing portfolio.

Streamlining Pitch Decks with Alkymi

Our Pitch Deck solution is designed specifically for LPs and offers two capabilities at once:

  • Standardization: automatically extract performance metrics like IRR and MOIC into a clean view for analysis across funds, managers, sectors, and asset classes
  • Configuration: define the fields that matter most to each investment team, whether that’s occupancy rate and square footage for a CRE team, mboe/day for an energy desk, or loss ratios and exits for a VC group.

What once took hours or even days of manual slide review can now be completed in minutes. Teams can also update their patterns as market trends evolve, ensuring flexibility and relevance.

With Alkymi, the focus shifts from reconciling data to making decisions. Our repeatable and scalable Pitch Deck solution, along with more than a dozen others covering the full spectrum of private markets data, enables LPs to eliminate friction, increase consistency, and accelerate decision-making.

Let’s talk about how Alkymi can help you unlock the full potential of AI in your operations.
