Our take
The private equity market is changing rapidly, and the need for high-tech data solutions is rising. Chronograph solves this problem by building and delivering next generation tech for private equity firms.
Chronograph's technology is geared towards portfolio monitoring, and is marketed primarily towards institutional private equity and venture capital investors. Chronograph's software automates labour-intensive processes such as data collection and analysis, reducing risk and saving firms valuable time and effort.
Many software solutions for private equity are limited by a lack of integration capabilities. Chronograph has set itself apart by partnering with LemonEdge, which has streamlined its integrations considerably and was awarded substantial funding in 2022 from the likes of Summit Partners and NASDAQ Ventures. This is a strong indicator of the company's potential and scalability.
