Overview
Standard Metrics provides AI-driven software for portfolio monitoring and management tailored to venture capital and private equity. It centralizes performance data, documents, and notes into an auditable system so investors can run portfolio reviews, streamline audits, report to LPs faster, and spot outlier performance. The product guides users through four steps: collect data with an AI agent and data services, analyze metrics with an AI Analyst and MCP server, report with tear sheets and board decks that sync to Excel or BI tools, and benchmark against a large anonymized set of venture-backed startups. Its differentiator is a VC/PE focus with emphasis on data quality, AI-assisted collection, deep benchmarking, and auditability, aiming to improve speed and clarity of reporting and reviews.
