Why using legacy software like DealCloud slows down your deal team?

Legacy CRM platforms require a lot of data entry. Adding companies manually, linking deals and inputting emails all take a valuable time away from your deal team. This is the reasons why 70% of surveyed CTOs report deal teams not finding value in their existing CRM platforms, despite years of customisation and investment. Deal teams need to be empowered with software that makes them into better investors not software that requires manual data entry for the sake of reports.

Why ListAlpha is a better alternative to DealCloud

ListAlpha has been created from ground-up by PE investors for PE investors. The platform is custom-made for the front office and has been built with the following architectural tenets in mind:

  • Extreme ease of use: Investors do not have the time to fill out empty records. If the deal flow platform does not provide them immediate value or give them an angle on an upcoming deal, they will not use it. As a result, we have built ListAlpha to be simplistic by design, allowing to add a deal or an M&A adviser within seconds, not minutes.

  • Automatic contact enrichment: There is no need to manually enter names, work experience or emails of your contacts. Simply search for their name and all of the work experience, photo and contact details will appear on the platform in seconds

  • Built-in company research module: Finding, tracking and researching new deals is the core activity of any private equity fund. ListAlpha offers powerful functionality that allows to research any company in the world, covering most of the standard commercial due diligence (CDD) topics, financials, ownership and management team quality.

  • Powerful API integrations: ListAlpha offers deep integrations with the Microsoft and Google ecosystems. We are also integrated with leading data providers in the market, including Pitchbook and Gain.Pro

  • Built-in AI capabilities: We take technology seriously and have built ListAlpha on-top of latest GPT models from OpenAI. ListAlpha allows to run AI-bassed company assessments on target businesses, which cover market description, competitors and risks associated with investing into the business

  • Automatic Relationship Intelligence: Tracking your fund’s interactions with M&A advisers and owners of businesses is key for the origination function. ListAlpha offers native Microsoft Outlook and Exchange integration that allows to see the strength of relationship and potential contact points with any adviser in your network.
