AI-native deal infrastructure · M&A

The first AI-native VDR
for financial due diligence.

Every transaction happens inside a VDR — but setting it up, structuring it, and answering buyers still eats the deal team’s nights. Conclave runs that work for you, inside the room.

01 — Problem
The Constraint

Every transaction lives in a VDR. Intelligence still doesn’t.

The deal room holds the data. The intelligence sits elsewhere — in spreadsheets, in side tools, in email threads. Bankers don’t want to add new tools to their workstreams; they want their existing tools to perform better.

The constraint

Every transaction happens inside a VDR — but running the sell-side is still manual, fragmented, and slow.

Legacy VDRs have shipped no meaningful innovation in ~20 years.

The opportunity

AI can run the sell-side — but only if it lives where the data already is, permission-bound and audit-read.

A new category: AI-native deal infrastructure.

Beyond the deal room

Beyond the deal room.

The VDR is mandatory infrastructure. What happens when the infrastructure is also intelligent, permanent, and permission-bound by default?

01

Native intelligence layer.

AI analysis operates where sensitive financial data already resides — eliminating data export and fragmented workflows. Intelligence stays permission-bound and audit-read.

02

Permanent data infrastructure.

Conclave replaces temporary VDRs with a permanent system of record. Transactions, portfolio monitoring, internal documents and governance operate within one environment.

From document to financial model.

Tag a term sheet or a contract. Conclave structures the logic and inserts cited outputs directly into Excel in seconds. Models built from source, not from memory.
