Keye

Market position

Keye positions itself as a diligence tool built by private equity investors for private equity investors, differentiating from general-purpose AI assistants that summarize documents such as CIMs.

Emphasis on running actual calculations and structured analysis instead of document summarization, source-linked outputs with audit trails and Excel exports, and enterprise security controls including zero data retention and SOC 2 Type 2 certification.

Technology

The product applies AI to raw deal files to generate structured outputs and run calculations, with automation covering data cuts, cleaning, anomaly detection, formatting and modeling. Each output is traceable to its source data, with Excel-ready exports and audit trails. Security features cited include zero data retention, no training on customer data, end-to-end encryption and SOC 2 Type 2 certification.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise sales via demo requests on the company website, supported by customer testimonials from private equity practitioners and hands-on integration work with client deal processes.

Private equity funds and firms, including deal teams, associates, vice presidents, principals and managing partners; customer testimonials reference funds with AUM ranging from roughly $5 billion to over $45 billion.
