Private Equity · For Operating Partners

ValueWorks is value creation software for private equity operating partners. It harmonises messy portfolio company data with AI, benchmarks every asset against the fund and the market, and tracks each value creation initiative against live actuals.

Why value creation stalls

Most of the first 100 days go into finding the numbers.

The playbook is clear. The data underneath it is not.

Nothing to measure against

Without a clean entry position and benchmark, the biggest lever stays unclear.

Plans live in PowerPoint and actuals are collected by hand, so problems surface late.

FAQ

Value creation, answered.

What is value creation software for private equity?

Value creation software gives operating partners one place to establish transparency on a portfolio company, set a baseline, benchmark it, plan initiatives and track their impact against live actuals. It replaces the spreadsheets and slide decks most value creation plans live in today.

How can ValueWorks create transparency in hours when portco data quality is poor?

Magnus, the AI agent in ValueWorks, maps each portco's chart of accounts, KPIs and source systems into one semantic layer and flags data quality issues instead of hiding them. A first transparent view is typically available in one to two hours. Our forward-deployed engineers then refine the model during the 4–8 week roll-out.

Which benchmarks can I use to set the baseline?

Both: internal benchmarks across the assets in your fund and external industry and peer benchmarks. You freeze the entry position as the baseline and see the gap to the fund median and to the market for each KPI.

How do I track value creation initiatives?

In the OKR module, each initiative is linked to the KPI it should move, with an expected impact and a time frame. Progress updates from live data, and initiatives that fall behind the targeted path are flagged as at risk or off track.

Where do the actuals come from?

From automated data pipelines to each portfolio company's ERP, accounting, CRM, HR and banking systems, through 50+ integrations including DATEV, SAP, Personio and HubSpot. No manual collection or month-end exports.

What is the transparency sprint?

A short, low-effort start: you pick one portfolio company and the KPIs that matter for your investment case, we connect the data, and Magnus builds a first transparent view in one to two hours. You then review the baseline against fund and industry benchmarks.

Is our portfolio data secure?

ValueWorks runs single-tenant on Microsoft Azure in the EU, is GDPR-compliant, and supports SSO and role-based access. All AI models run on ValueWorks resources, so data never leaves the governed environment.

Start with transparency. This week.

One portfolio company, a first baseline in hours, and a clear view of where the value is.
