What We Do
Daphne is an AI solution for investment consultants, fund-of-funds, and institutional allocators to automate fund onboarding, diligence, and portfolio monitoring. Daphne's AI Agents turn messy GP reporting - portals, PDFs, emails, spreadsheets - into clean, allocator-ready data delivered straight into your systems, so your team spends less time chasing and reconciling, and more time analyzing. Unlike static data vendors or form-based tools, Daphne keeps data continuously updated and permissioned, with GP-approved feeds.
