DealCloud is the best-known front-office CRM in private equity. Privatis includes the deal CRM and pipeline too — and the closed deal becomes a portfolio company, a mark and a line on the LP statement in the same system.
Intapp DealCloud doesn't cover 11 areas natively in its software: LP fundraising CRM & onboarding; fund general ledger the GP runs; waterfall, carry & management fees; valuation modeling that produces the mark; portfolio monitoring & KPI collection; LP portal & ILPA reporting; regulatory filings (ADV, PF, FATCA, CRS); partnership tax (1065, K-1, K-2/K-3); deal VDR & LP data rooms; issuer cap table & equity plans; private credit & covenant monitoring. In Privatis, all 13 post to and read from the same ledger.

Built for: Mid-to-large PE firms that want a highly configurable relationship and deal CRM, and run the back office elsewhere.
2025: acquired TermSheet. 2026: a governed AI platform for DealCloud clients and a plug-in for OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Deal pipeline, firm-wide relationship management and deep configurability.
At the signed deal. No general ledger, capital accounts, valuations or LP reporting — those live in other systems.
You're a large firm whose priority is a deeply customized relationship CRM, with a dedicated admin and a separate back-office stack.
Every Privatis module posts to and reads from one general ledger. That's what makes these possible without an integration in between.
The LP CRM, the subscription documents and the general ledger are the same record, so nothing is re-keyed between fundraising and the books.
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.
European, American and hybrid waterfalls, with catch-up and quarterly accrual, read the same capital and the same LPA terms the fee engine uses.
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.
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.
The target you diligenced becomes the portfolio company on the same record: data room, cap structure, KPIs, covenants and valuation history together.
AlphaBot works across deals, funds, credit and LP data, inside your information walls. Every change it suggests is a proposal that a person approves.

Bring one fund. We'll take a deal from the pipeline to the K-1 in a single workspace, with every number tracing back to the same journal entry.
