the due diligence market. Their use of AI-driven automation and product
knowledge offer a clear growth trajectory from an already impressive
base of business,” said Tony Palazzo, President of Access Private
Capital. “This ended up being more than a business transaction. It was a
chance for our fund and its investors to be a part of something we
believe will be a true disruptor in this industry.”

Private Capital was the right partner at the right time to help
