Standard Metrics (formerly Quaestor) is a San Francisco-based financial data and portfolio monitoring platform for venture capital. It automates the messy work of collecting, standardizing, and benchmarking metrics from private portfolio companies, giving investors real-time performance data and giving founders a single source of truth for investor reporting. More than 100 VC firms track thousands of portfolio companies on the platform, which now connects directly to LLMs like Claude and ChatGPT through a Model Context Protocol server.
John Bowman is a co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Maybern, the New York fintech building fund management software for private markets.
