Dealscribe
Created in 2020, Dealscribe is a company dedicated to saving its users' time. It grew from a realization that financial market participants were spending far too much of their time searching through documents to find the exact terms of each deal. Even the most expert individuals struggle to keep track of documentation differences across their portfolio of deals. The industry as a whole remains inefficient because the same document-trawling process is duplicated across dozens of different firms. To solve this problem, we have brought together a team of smart individuals from a variety of backgrounds. Guided by machine learning, they turn complex legal agreements into standardized data points and give our users the tools to find the information they need quickly. The result is a technology platform with a human heart. 20% of the work comes from the technology, 80% of value from human analysis. Dealscribe is based in London and New York and has the backing of a group of individuals with senior roles in the CLO industry. Its founder, Mike Peterson, has a track record of building successful data and information services that respond to the real needs of the market.
