Enablement
Hands-on sessions on the major AI platforms for the whole firm, analyst to managing partner, run monthly because the frontier moves weekly.
Sharper judgment for the age of AI.
Solven trains private equity teams on AI, builds it into their workflows, and runs projects across their portfolio companies that lift EBITDA. The people making the call still own the reasoning behind it.
Four ways we work with a firm.
Build
Agents and workflow systems on the fund's own work: contract redlining, IC memo interrogation, portfolio reporting.
Portfolio
For any portfolio company, in any sector: we find what is holding back EBITDA and fix it, with AI where it helps and without it where it does not.
Token Economics
Where the compute spend goes, what it returns, and how to pace it so the year's budget lasts the year.
Augmentation without cognitive atrophy.
-
Judgment is the product.
In an investment firm the deliverable is a defensible decision; AI should make that judgment sharper, never thinner.
-
Fluency is firm-wide.
From the newest analyst to the managing partner, everyone should know where AI belongs in their own work, and where it does not.
-
The portfolio is where it pays.
Whatever its sector, every portfolio company has a part of the business holding it back. We start from that problem, not from the technology.

The edge is where the advantage is.
