The operating system for modern due diligence - turning the world of PDFs, spreadsheets and email into a single connected, AI-native platform.
Every dollar an endowment, pension or family office hands to an outside manager passes through a quiet ritual: due diligence. Somebody sends a questionnaire. Somebody answers it. The whole exchange has traditionally lived in Word attachments, Excel tabs and long email chains - repeated thousands of times a year, across thousands of managers.
Monel Amin knew that ritual intimately. Before founding DiligenceVault in 2014, she was head of risk for liquid investments at Citi, with oversight across hedge funds, pensions, insurance and fund-of-funds mandates. Earlier still, she had worked in technology at Sprint. She had lived the process from the inside and had the engineering background to imagine it differently.
DiligenceVault is the answer she built: a cloud platform where asset allocators and asset managers meet on the same live data layer. Questionnaires become structured, reusable data. Responses are drafted from an approved content library instead of from a blank page. And the exchange itself becomes a network - one that now spans more than 20,000 managers across 150-plus countries.
In 2019, Goldman Sachs' Growth Equity team led a roughly $6 million Series A into the company, taking a strategic minority stake. It was a bet on an unglamorous truth: the back office of asset management is enormous, manual, and overdue for software.
DiligenceVault connects the two sides of every diligence conversation. Allocators run manager research, operational due diligence, ESG reviews and regulatory monitoring. Managers respond to RFPs and DDQs and manage inbound investor requests. Both work from one structured system instead of scattered documents.
Manager research, ODD, compliance, ESG and Form ADV monitoring in a single system, organized across firm, strategy and product hierarchies.
DV Pulse gives IR teams a content library, AI autofill and collaboration tools to answer RFPs and DDQs without starting from scratch.
A live data layer links proprietary profiles, inbound network requests and external questionnaires received in Word or Excel.
DiligenceVault sits with institutional investors and the managers they evaluate - OCIOs, asset consultants, endowments and foundations, RIAs and wealth platforms, banks, family offices, pensions and insurers.

Manual diligence is slow, hard to audit and endlessly repetitive. The same DDQ question gets re-answered dozens of times a year in slightly different formats. Version control breaks. Filings change and nobody notices. DiligenceVault replaces that with structured data, reusable answers, and automated monitoring - so teams spend time on judgment, not formatting.
Digital questionnaires with 20+ pre-built industry standards (AIMA, ILPA, INREV, PRI, ICI), plus a central repository of Q&A, documents, AUM and performance.
One system for manager research, ODD, compliance, ESG and ADV monitoring across a portfolio.
A connected content library with AI autofill and collaboration so IR teams respond faster and consistently.
Embedded across workflows for DDQ autofill, document processing and IC memo generation - with human review and an audit trail at every step.
Real-time tracking of manager filings - structured advisor profiles, ownership and DRP alerts, and AI-analyzed brochure change tracking.
A manager network of 20,000+ for proprietary and industry DDQ distribution and inbound request management.
Competitors include allocator suites like Backstop, RFP-automation platforms like Responsive (formerly RFPIO), data rooms like Firmex, and horizontal GRC tools. DiligenceVault's edge is being purpose-built for investment diligence - and connecting both allocators and managers on a shared network, with AI that keeps humans in the loop.
Illustrative positioning based on public product descriptions - not a benchmarked score.
DiligenceVault is B2B SaaS. It sells subscription access to allocators who run diligence and to managers who respond - with pricing that scales by users, modules and network access. AI features and monitoring add-ons expand the platform's footprint inside each account.
It fits in the WealthTech / investment-management-technology market, a category the company has been recognized within via the WealthTech 100. The wedge - the humble questionnaire - became the entry point to a broader operating system for manager research, IR and compliance.
