Standard Metrics launches AI analyst for portfolio-wide analysis in private markets

Standard Metrics has launched an AI Analyst that enables venture capital and private equity firms to analyse their entire portfolios using natural language queries. The tool provides actionable answers in seconds by accessing data across the Standard Metrics platform. The AI Analyst builds on an earlier version focused on individual portfolio companies. The company found users wanted broader portfolio-level intelligence for tasks like portfolio reviews, LP reporting and ad-hoc analysis. The tool leverages on-platform financial KPIs and qualitative notes to provide current, relevant insights. Standard Metrics plans to expand the AI Analyst's capabilities over the next year, adding support for additional datasets and AI-driven chart creation. The San Francisco-based company is backed by 8VC and Spark Capital.
