Deliver the EBITDA you promised at close
BowMerge does the value creation work between close and exit: capturing the synergies you underwrote, surfacing EBITDA opportunities you didn't, and handing you board numbers someone has already checked. You make the calls. We do the work.
Eight to twelve portcos. Zero integration staff. Every day of delay is EBITDA gone.
You're not short on effort: you're the system holding it all together, and the numbers look good while feeling uneasy. The truth lives in disconnected ERPs, HRIS systems, CRMs, and spreadsheets; by the time it's compiled, it's stale, and the synergy you promised the IC is slipping. Tools make you do the work. Consultants bill six figures by the hour. Generic AI hands you a confident, wrong answer.
AI does the work. Experts validate it. You make the calls.
AI Extraction
Our AI ingests your IC memo, data room, and portco operating data, and drafts the integration plan, synergy targets by workstream, milestone schedule, and risk flags ranked by EBITDA impact. At machine speed.
Human Validation
A BowMerge expert with PE judgment reviews every figure before you ever see it: correcting unrealistic targets, re-ranking risks, and signing off. No number reaches you unvalidated. This is what generic AI can't do.
You Decide
You receive finished, board-ready deliverables, not software to configure, not a template to fill in. You review, prioritize, and act. Decision-maker, never data-chaser.
A deliverable cadence, not a login
Validated 100-Day Plan
From your IC memo: synergy targets by workstream, milestones, and EBITDA-ranked risks: delivered at close, not week three.
Drift Signals
Every workstream statused at a glance: On Track, In Progress, At Risk, and ranked by EBITDA impact. Slippage surfaces before it becomes a partner-meeting surprise.
Board-Ready Narrative
Vs. thesis, captured, at-risk, and next: formatted to your firm's reporting standard. Senior stakeholders never log into anything; finished reporting arrives ready to present.
LP / IC Review
The validated value creation story across the portfolio: every number defensible in front of LPs.
Why firms choose BowMerge
| Option | What you actually get | BowMerge |
|---|---|---|
| PMI software | A tool you configure, populate, and maintain yourself. The work is still yours. | We run the system. You receive outcomes. |
| PMI consultancies | Six figures, billed by the hour, and none of the learning compounds to your benefit. | Priced per deal, below the boutique, and sharper every deal. |
| Generic AI copilots | Confident, unvalidated output with no provenance: a career risk in front of an LP. | Every figure human-validated, with source, reviewer, and date attached. |
Numbers you can defend in any room
PE is trust-gated. Our integrity rules aren't features: they're the foundation of the service.
- Provenance on every figure: source, validating expert, and data vintage attached to every number you present.
- Read-only, always: we never write to a portco system.
- Per-fund data isolation: no fund's playbook ever benefits another fund.
- Realized means realized: no synergy is marked captured without general-ledger evidence behind it.
- Nothing external without review: every deliverable passes human sign-off before it reaches you.
Why firms love BowMerge
I had a validated 100-day plan the day we closed, not three weeks later. I walk into every board meeting with numbers I can defend. I haven't had that anywhere else I've worked.
Everyone talks about speeding up value creation without cutting corners. BowMerge is the first solution I've seen that actually makes it happen. It removes the noise and keeps the deal thesis front and center.
Priced per deal. Never a subscription.
BowMerge is priced per deal, anchored below the boutique consultancy you'd otherwise hire. Billing is milestone-based and tied to deliverables you can hold in your hands, the expense sits in portco opex, and onboarding and support are included: no seats, no licenses, no add-ons. One validated deal typically becomes the standard across the Operating Partner's full book.
Put down the spreadsheet. Start delivering on your investment thesis.
The last tool your firm bought died in month three because nobody adopted it. There's nothing to adopt here: we do the work. See what BowMerge would have caught in week two of your last deal.
