Introducing Private Labs: Pioneering Data Transformation in Private Asset Management
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Private Labs, a fintech innovator poised to redefine private asset data technology. Co-founded by industry experts Dario Cintioli, Kate Koleczek and Chris Stefano, our European venture began making waves in December 2023, fuelled by an initial funding round of €800,000.
At Private Labs, we’re developing a ground-breaking system that skilfully extracts structured data from the complex world of unstructured private funds documents. Leveraging a unique blend of AI and bespoke algorithms, investors can extract a reliable private fund book-of-record and seamlessly integrate it inside their workflows, through our contemporary Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions.
“Our aim is simple yet ambitious,” states Dario Cintioli, our CEO. “We empower investors to access coherent, dependable data for insightful decision-making, analytics and seamless account reconciliation. Private Labs introduces a new era of automation and cost efficiency, as an alternative to costly data acquisition and manual extraction.”
Chris Stefano, Co-Founder, adds, “The advent of modern technology and AI empowers us to architect software solutions of unparalleled flexibility. We’re crafting transformative technology that addresses the current manual and inefficient processes plaguing private markets.”
Kate Koleczek, Co-Founder and COO, elaborates, “Our painstaking research has culminated in a unique AI and algorithmic synergy that effortlessly processes complex data, including investment look-through, and documents in multiple languages. This, combined with our intuitive user interface, ensures a seamless data generation experience, perfectly balancing AI-driven automation with essential human oversight.”
Join us on this journey to transform the accessibility and management of private asset data.
