DiligenceSquared raised a 5M Seed round led by Relentless (founded by former Index Ventures partner Damir Becirovic) and was part of Y Combinator's Fall 2025 cohort. The company serves clients including two of the world's five largest PE funds and several mid-market funds.

DiligenceSquared automates commercial due diligence that traditionally costs 500K to 1M from consultancies like McKinsey and BCG, delivering auditable reports at just 50K. The platform targets a 10B annual market where PE funds spend over 30M annually on due diligence.
