"80% of the time is spent parsing data, and only 20% is left for higher-level thinking. Brightwave flips that ratio on its head." Imagine freeing up more time for needle-moving investment decisions instead of sifting through piles of data room documents. Brightwave’s AI transforms diligence workflows, empowering financial professionals to focus on what matters — deep thinking and smart decisions. What would you do with more time for strategy and insights? 🧐
"The biggest mistake you can make in 2025 is letting perfect be the enemy of good… you're going to find yourself left behind." Waiting for perfection is no longer an option. The firms that experiment, adapt and embrace AI today will define the market tomorrow. Brightwave helps you move fast, think deeper and stay ahead. What's your stance on perfection vs. experimentation? Share your thoughts in the comments! 👇
AI is changing the way finance professionals do their job, much like the way computational spreadsheets previously revolutionized the rote work of collecting and analyzing data. Brightwave's purpose-built diligence & research platform means all teams (not just the largest entities) can have this capability in-house. Whether it's an S-1 prospectus, investment memo, pre-term sheet diligence report, or market and sector analysis — the age of powerful AI that can produce high-quality investment collateral on any subject is here.

When Goldman Sachs’ CEO says AI can write 95% of an IPO prospectus in minutes, you know the future of finance is already here. But that last 5%—the most critical judgment, context, and insight—still needs human expertise. We’ve built an AI-powered diligence and research platform purpose-built for investment professionals, designed to do more than just skim the surface. Brightwave reads every line of every document, connects insights across huge data rooms, and maintains complete source verification so you never miss the hidden details that can make or break a deal. Why this matters now more than ever: - More with Less: Your team can analyze 3x more deals without adding headcount. - Speed Meets Thoroughness: Turn a 20+ hour data room slog into a 30-minute high-level analysis—no more lost weekends. - Competitive Edge: Dial in the “last 5%” of critical insights others overlook. - Scale Your Workflow: Standardize best practices, ensure consistency, and preserve institutional knowledge across investment teams. My view is that this moment is like the advent of computational spreadsheets in the 70's -- nobody wants to do the math by hand anymore, and its not because there aren't finance professionals. The firms that embrace these tools now will capture an unprecedented advantage in an increasingly competitive market.

It’s been observed that OpenAI’s new model family would suggest The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy had the right approach to AI - long compute times that necessitate asking the right question up front. This observation is interesting to me for a couple reasons, not least of which is that one of the first things I tried to get from GPT-3 was a list the most pressing questions left unasked by humanity. I suspect I’m not the only person who had this impulse and was summarily disappointed. After all, it’s not hard to see the appeal of a system that might help us inspect our blind spots, the background patterns overwhelmed by the noisy foreground of our habits and ingrained ways of thought. AI capability for introspection is important, I think, because creativity and innovation often happen at the intersection between disciplines - whether it’s mRNA vaccines (immunology & molecular biology), lithium-ion batteries (electrochemistry & solid-state physics) or Elinor Ostrom’s Nobel prize winning work on governing the commons (economics and anthropology) - and these kind of breakthroughs are A) uncommon and B) often highly impactful to human productivity and wellbeing. Not for nothing though, understanding a new field is difficult and time consuming, and even collaborating with experts from another discipline requires a fair bit of lifting on both sides. That’s why, along with more obvious applications like drug discovery, program synthesis or the hard sciences, I’m very excited by the potential for LLM’s as tireless synthesizers and askers of non-obvious questions - AI research agents plucking off the low hanging fruit at the crossroads of disciplines. After all, the models of the future won’t just be PhD-equivalent; they’ll be PhD-equivalent in all the fields that can bend the arc of human thriving. — Image credit to interaction designer W.

Brightwave CEO Mike Conover updating his priors on the pace of model improvement.

I was wrong about model progress and saturation - 4o to o1 is a larger capability improvement, qualitatively speaking, than gpt-3.5 to gpt-4-turbo. I spoke with TechCrunch in September when o1-preview was released saying, "Everybody is waiting for a step function change for capabilities, and it is unclear that this represents that. I think it’s that simple." Having now spent probably 20 hours interacting with o1 via ChatGPT, playground and the API, I can confidently say that o1 understands more deeply, writes more fluently, attends to more total information, and follows complex clausal logic much more faithfully than I could have possibly expected. The new results for o3, indicating ~order of magnitude improvement over o1-class models on challenging tasks like ARC-AGI and Codeforces suggest we are in for a continuation of this trend. During periods of rapid change it seems the best policy is to update your priors fairly readily, and on something as important and profound as what's happening in AI, I'll admit it's kind of exciting to have gotten this one so wrong.

The interface for AI systems of the future is going to look a lot more like Google Maps than iMessage. With language models, and agentic architectures more broadly, you have a design problem which is revealing the thought process of a system that has considered hundreds of thousands of data points at in a way that is intuitive and useful. Google Maps excels at this by virtue of scale- and context-dependent affordances, that is, the information and locations it highlights are a function of your zoom level and intent. Street-level business details aren’t featured when you’re on the highway traveling 75, and parking garages dominate the screen at the end of a long trip to a downtown metro. In every context, the system, which has access to boundless volumes of information, selectively highlights only the information relevant to your instantaneous need and intent while preserving the ability to switch levels and access details on demand for any element. It’s a powerful metaphor for the design of AI systems that afford the ability to control, in parallel, fleets of autonomous agents that consider, critique, and refine their understanding of the matter at hand before delivering a finished work product. The provenance layer is important - you want a receipt trail - but you don’t need all the details off the rip. It’s early innings for AI, and it feels very much like we’ve reached a local minimum at the interface level. We’re turning up the temperature at Brightwave and exploring the search space. If you want to build the future of AI-powered systems, reach out - we’re hiring experienced designers and engineers and have carte blanche access to the world’s most interesting problems.
