Our Company
Built by Practitioners.
For Practitioners.
We built the diligence platform that private equity teams actually needed — not another summarization tool, but a real analytical engine built to mirror how serious investors think.
Why We Exist
The Process Hasn't Changed in 30 Years. The Opportunity Has.
Every Diligenco founder spent years in private equity, investment banking, or M&A advisory before writing a single line of code. We built financial models in Excel at 2 a.m., waded through 400-page CIMs looking for the three numbers that actually mattered, and watched junior analysts spend entire weeks on work that should have taken hours.
The manual diligence process — extract data, structure it, run calculations, write memos — has not fundamentally changed in three decades. Not because no one wanted to improve it, but because the technology was not ready. Optical character recognition was too brittle. Natural language models hallucinated numbers. Nothing could handle the heterogeneous, unstructured reality of deal documents.
That changed. Modern AI can now read and reason over financial documents with enough accuracy to automate the analytical heavy-lift — reliably, repeatably, and at the scale that a growing deal team requires. We built Diligenco to capture that shift entirely, designing every feature around the real workflow of a serious investor, not the demo workflow of a software vendor.
"The best investors don't just move faster. They see more clearly. Diligenco is the lens."

Our Vision
The Operating System for Private Market Due Diligence
We are building toward a future where every private equity firm, search fund, and independent sponsor has access to the same analytical infrastructure that was once only available to the largest institutions — and where the quality of diligence is no longer a function of team size or hours available.
Structured Intelligence Over Summaries
Summaries are easy to produce and easy to misread. Diligenco outputs structured, queryable data that can be audited, challenged, and built upon — because real diligence requires facts, not prose.
Precision at Scale
Whether your team is evaluating one deal or twenty, Diligenco applies the same analytical discipline to every document. Scale should amplify rigor, not dilute it.
Built for the Workflow
Technology that ignores how professionals actually work gets ignored. Every Diligenco feature is designed around the real cadence of a deal — from first look to IC memo to close.
How It Works
Our Approach
Ingest
Diligenco accepts virtually any file format your deal flow produces — PDFs, Excel workbooks, Word documents, and scanned images. Structured extraction converts raw files into machine-readable data without requiring manual reformatting or data entry from your team.
Our ingestion pipeline handles inconsistently formatted CIMs, management presentations, and financial data packages that would break simpler parsing systems. You drop the file in; we do the rest.
Analyze
Diligenco runs real financial calculations on the extracted data — EBITDA normalizations, leverage ratios, covenant headroom, revenue bridge analysis, and more. These are not AI-generated summaries of numbers. They are computed outputs derived from structured data.
Every calculation is traceable back to its source. If a number changes because the CIM was restated, Diligenco updates downstream outputs automatically and flags the delta for review.
Decide
Diligenco surfaces structured outputs — flagged risks, benchmarked metrics, annotated financials, and narrative summaries — formatted to match what your Investment Committee expects. Everything is audit-ready from the moment it is produced.
Your IC has seen every font of AI-generated filler prose. Diligenco outputs read like the work of a diligent analyst, because they are grounded in the same underlying data a diligent analyst would use.
Our Customers
Who We Serve
Diligenco is built for serious investors across the private markets ecosystem — wherever analytical rigor and speed both matter.
Private Equity Firms
Mid-market and lower-middle-market PE teams that need to process more deals with the same headcount — without sacrificing the depth of analysis their LPs expect.
Search Funds
Searchers evaluating their first or second acquisition who need institutional-quality diligence tooling without the institutional budget for a full analyst bench.
Independent Sponsors
Deal-by-deal sponsors who must move quickly and credibly when the right opportunity appears, with clean, well-documented diligence to satisfy lending partners.
Family Offices
Direct investment teams at family offices who are bringing acquisition capabilities in-house and need analytical infrastructure to match their ambitions.
Lower Middle Market M&A Professionals
Advisors and buy-side analysts covering sub-$50M EBITDA targets where automation is most impactful and process repeatability is a direct competitive advantage.
Corporate Development Teams
In-house corp dev functions running structured acquisition programs who need a diligence workflow that integrates with how their internal review processes actually work.
Our Team
The People Behind Diligenco
Diligenco was built by founders who combined a serious interest in private markets with the conviction that modern AI could finally automate the analytical heavy-lift that has slowed investors for decades.
Suvan Sethi
Co-Founder & CEO
Suvan built Diligenco to bring institutional analytical rigor to investors who have been underserved by generic AI tools. He drives product vision and platform development, translating the real mechanics of deal evaluation into software that works the way serious investors actually think.
Jonathan Falzone
Co-Founder
Jonathan brings a focused interest in business evaluation, financial analysis, and private market deal structures to Diligenco's founding team. He works closely with investors and acquisition professionals to ensure the platform maps precisely to how real deal processes unfold.
What We Believe
Our Values
Analytical Rigor
We hold our outputs to the same standard a careful analyst would. Every number is traceable. Every claim is grounded. We ship features only when the underlying analysis is sound, not merely plausible.
Transparency
We tell customers what our platform can and cannot do. We surface uncertainty where it exists. We never let a confidence score substitute for a disclosure about limitations.
Professionalism
We are building infrastructure for people who make consequential financial decisions. That demands a level of seriousness — in our outputs, our support, and our product design — that matches the gravity of those decisions.
Efficiency
Diligence should take as long as it needs to take and not a minute longer. We believe that faster analysis, when grounded in rigor, is always better — and that our job is to remove the parts of the process that consume time without producing insight.
Long-Term Thinking
Our customers make long-term investments. We build our product the same way. We optimize for trust over novelty, for durability over trend-chasing, and for the relationship with our customers over the near-term metric.
