Overdrive

Work / Private Equity

Portfolio reporting is assembled by hand every quarter and deal pipelines live in email. We build the systems that make both continuous.

Running Overdrive systems
  • 0 co'sreporting through one roll-up
  • 0 daysquarter-end pack, down from two weeks
  • 0%of memos drafted from the record

Right now, your quarter-end runs on nine spreadsheets that don't agree.

Portfolio companies report in nine formats, deal screening lives in a partner's inbox, and LP questions are answered from memory.

KPIs collected in nine spreadsheets Screening memos written from scratch LP questions answered by whoever remembers A portfolio company reporting late
Two weeks of consolidation every quarter Inconsistent, slow, and hard to compare Risk in every reply A number nobody can trace
Covenant breaches spotted in arrears The data room question asked again Marks in a spreadsheet only one person opens A screening memo in a partner's drafts

Same week. Same team. A different set of problems.

The decisions behind portfolio reporting, screening and LP questions.

Without a system
  • Nine formats, one packThree people spend two weeks consolidating portfolio submissions.
  • Screening from scratchMemos differ by author; deals are hard to compare.
  • Thresholds missedA covenant crosses its line and nobody sees it until the board pack.
  • LP questions by memoryAnswers depend on who is in the office that day.

Case study · Private equityIllustrativemid-market PE firm0 daysquarter-end pack, from two weeks
0%of the hours in the mapped workflows returned
Constraint
Nine portfolio companies reporting in nine formats; a quarter-end pack assembled by three people over two weeks.
System
A KPI collection portal feeding one record, valuation marks alongside, and a reporting agent that drafts the pack for approval.
Result
Two days from last submission to approved pack; associates back on deals.

“The pack used to be the worst two weeks of the quarter. Now it's a review, not a build. (Simulated quote — see PLACEHOLDERS.md.)”
