Scott here from Elevate, showcasing our AI-powered data management for roll-ups.

⚠️ Problem: Private equity-backed businesses struggle to use AI because of data challenges.

📉 75% of M&A deals underperform due to integration challenges

🔥 #1 cause of M&A integration problems is data fragmentation

🤖 #1 hurdle blocking companies from using AI is data quality – #2 is data privacy & protection

🚀 Solution: Elevate’s AI-powered data management platform acts as a translator enabling PE-owned businesses to use AI in their daily operations.

Our platform helps PE-backed acquisitive companies (aka roll-ups) reach for data nirvana through:

1. Migrations: Transitioning data from legacy systems to the core tech stack,
2. Warehousing: Consolidating, cleaning, and enriching data across acquisitions and systems, providing a single source of truth, and
3. AI Services: Unlocking agentic AI automations built on top of clean warehouse data.

But don’t trust us, ask our customers.

🧑‍💻 Team: Expertise at the intersection of finance x tech.

Scott (CEO) was most recently a Vice President at Sycamore Partners, a $10B+ AUM private equity firm. Scott is also a Harvard Business School grad where he hob-knobbed with too many finance bros + gals.

Steve (CTO) was a software engineer at Meta, the social media giant, metaverse pioneer, AI talent acquisition firm. He has also seen this movie before as a founding engineer at multiple start-ups.

Jeff (CPO) was a software engineer at a $17B+ hedge fund, before giving into the crypto-craze. His Circle stock sustains us.

The three founders have known each other for over a decade since their CS undergrad majors together at Duke in the not-so-dirty-anymore Durham, NC.

🎺 Asks:

PE / roll-up connections: Find your friends in private equity and tell them about this cool new AI solution that will make their portfolio companies better, them richer, and their lives less miserable.

AI solutions: If you are building an AI tool that could be useful for PE-backed companies (👋 that’s ~all of you!), reach out + let’s chat to see if there could be a use case for our customers.
