About Capsa AI

Empowering Private Equity with Advanced AI – Capsa AI is an operating system that aggregates, structures, and generates insights from company and market data.

Our AI solutions reduce time spent on mechanical tasks and increase returns by analysing vast amounts of data to provide clear, actionable insights. Our vision is to become the leading AI platform for private capital funds, transforming how private investments are analysed and managed.

Our Team and Progress

Our CEO, Danyal, has over 6 years of experience in Private Equity and Investment Banking at blue-chip financial institutions such as AEA Investors, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank. Our CTO, Callum, has over 6 years of experience in Machine Learning and AI, having worked at leading defense companies like QinetiQ and retail tech startups such as Standard AI.

Just one month after our December 2023 founding, we launched our product with PE funds managing over $9 billion. Five months later, we're revenue-generating, serving leading PE funds managing over $30 billion across the US, UK, and Germany. We have also raised a 7-digit seed round with leading VCs and angel investors.

Our Philosophy

• Small team: Small talented teams outperform large and slow-moving companies. We avoid bureaucracy, keep meetings to a minimum and focus on creating value.
• Simple where possible:We are passionate about new technology (in particular Machine Learning and AI), but we are more passionate about solving problems for our customers. We strive to find the best solution, be it cutting-edge or old-school.
• Customer obsessed:We take every opportunity to talk to our customers. We obsess over their problems and work every day to make them happy.
