Demonstrate your successes
DealEdge allows you to bring the story of your fund and its successes to life. You can show investors how your holdings are performing compared to their peers, or to the wider sector and industry, on a deal-by-deal basis. You can demonstrate where you are outperforming, not just in top-level IRR returns but across specific value creation metrics like revenue CAGR, EBITDA margin and more.
Showcase how individual deals from previous funds performed against sector averages. Highlight how far above the median your winning deals were, and how deals in lower-growth areas compare to their peers.
