PitchBook spent years turning private deals into structured, searchable memory. Its next act is making that hard-won data useful wherever investors work - from Excel and CRM systems to conversational AI.
73 Strings
73 Strings is an AI-powered financial intelligence platform for the private capital industry. Founded in 2020, it automates data extraction, portfolio monitoring, and fair-value estimation for alternative asset managers - the manual, fragmented "middle-office" work behind private equity, private credit, venture capital, growth equity, and infrastructure funds. Its Extract, Monitor, and Value modules structure unstructured documents, track portfolio performance in real time, and produce valuations reportedly up to 10x faster at roughly half the cost. The company serves institutions representing close to $10 trillion in assets and is backed by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Blackstone, Fidelity International Strategic Ventures, Hamilton Lane, and Golub Capital.
Rowspace
Rowspace is a San Francisco AI company that turns a financial firm's own proprietary data into a compounding edge. Its platform connects structured and unstructured data across a firm's entire history, models how that firm operates and reasons, and delivers that intelligence inside the tools teams already use - Excel, Microsoft Teams, and internal systems. Founded by former Notion CTO Michael Manapat and two-time CFO Yibo Ling, Rowspace launched in February 2026 with $50 million from Sequoia, Emergence Capital, Stripe, and others. Firms managing hundreds of billions to nearly a trillion dollars in assets already use it for portfolio monitoring, multi-decade deal analysis, and credit portfolio optimization.
