Metal: Institutional Intelligence Architected for Scale

How AI Enhances Private Equity's Competitive Edge Over Time

AI is no longer just about efficiency gains—it's about empowerment, scalability, and strategic advantages.

Through Metal's deep work with cutting-edge AI technologies, we've witnessed the shift from isolated point solutions toward institutional intelligence platforms: systems that not only accelerate existing workflows, but also unlock entirely new ways of operating at scale.

FundDNA: Redefining AI Adoption in Private Equity

The structural competitive advantages lie in the infrastructure layer, not just the generative capabilities.

FundDNA captures, structures, and activates a fund’s collective experience and information – each investment decision, portfolio outcome, lesson learned over years of market cycles – to inform repeatable evaluation frameworks that empower decision-making.

With Metal, FundDNA could be digitized into a living, evolving representation of your fund’s unique investment logic, patterns, and competitive edge.

Enduring Challenge: Scattered Tools, Scattered Insights

Private equity professionals often face:

• Fragmented data across countless documents and siloed teams
• Institutional knowledge loss trapped in individuals’ minds
• Disconnected systems that fail to surface past insights

Off-the-shelf AI tools, like ChatGPT, lack PE-specific context and cannot connect meaningful dots across your entire deal history. Time and again, our clients express the same frustration: they don't need another point solution.

How Metal Powers Your AI Journey

Metal recognized early that the solution lies in building a scalable, fund-specific infrastructure—a central system of record and intelligence layer that serves the full investment lifecycle.

We help private equity firms break down data silos, connect insights across sources and deal phases, and empower data-driven decisions through：
