About Dynamo Software

What Dynamo does well, and where it stops.

Built for: GPs and LPs that want CRM, investor relations, a portal and portfolio monitoring from one vendor.

2025: v3.0 with DynamoAI. 2026: bought InvestHub for subscriptions and KYC.

Strong at

CRM, investor relations, LP portal and monitoring in one product, used by LPs as well as GPs.

Where it stops

Lighter on waterfall and valuation depth. We found no regulatory filings, partnership tax, data rooms or cap tables.

Choose Privatis over Dynamo if
  • 01You need buyout-grade waterfalls — European, American or hybrid, with catch-up and accrual — on the same books.
  • 02You want valuation models that produce the mark and post it to the GL.
  • 03You want filings, K-1s and data rooms inside the platform rather than in separate tools.
Dynamo may suit you better if

You're primarily an allocator or a relationship-led team that mainly needs CRM, investor relations and monitoring.

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.
