About Chronograph

What Chronograph does well, and where it stops.

Built for: GPs and LPs that want a specialist monitoring and valuation layer, increasingly including private credit.

2026: $140M+ growth investment from Sixth Street and a new private-credit platform; DealsPlus partnership for waterfall modeling.

Strong at

Portfolio monitoring and valuations at scale, now extending into private credit.

Where it stops

A point solution by design. Waterfall modeling comes through a partner, and the fund's books, capital accounts and LP statements live in other systems.

Choose Privatis over Chronograph if
  • 01You want monitored KPIs and marks to sit on the same record as the fund ledger and the LP capital accounts.
  • 02You need the deal CRM, data rooms, filings and K-1s too.
  • 03You'd rather retire point tools than add another integration.
Chronograph may suit you better if

You need a specialist monitoring layer across many external managers and already have your fund books elsewhere.

What one ledger changes

The same entry, everywhere it matters.

Every Privatis module posts to and reads from one general ledger. That's what makes these possible without an integration in between.

01

A signed commitment becomes a capital account

The LP CRM, the subscription documents and the general ledger are the same record, so nothing is re-keyed between fundraising and the books.

02

An approved mark posts to the GL

DCF, comps, LBO and option-pricing backsolves reconcile to one fair value. Approving it posts the journal entry that moves NAV, the Level 3 rollforward and every LP capital account.

03

Carry is computed from the books it's paid from

European, American and hybrid waterfalls, with catch-up and quarterly accrual, read the same capital and the same LPA terms the fee engine uses.

04

The K-1 ties to the financial statements

The 1065, K-1s and K-2/K-3s come from the same 704(b) capital as the GAAP statements and LP capital accounts. There's no hand-off to a separate tax file.

05

Filings start from the fund's own data

Form ADV, Form PF, FATCA, CRS and FBAR are produced as filing-ready exports from live holdings and capital, not re-keyed into a consultant's template.

06

The data room follows the deal into the portfolio

The target you diligenced becomes the portfolio company on the same record: data room, cap structure, KPIs, covenants and valuation history together.

07

AI that can read everything and change nothing on its own

AlphaBot works across deals, funds, credit and LP data, inside your information walls. Every change it suggests is a proposal that a person approves.
