Benchmark

Institutional-knowledge AI for private-market deal teams; acquired by Harvey

Benchmark turned private equity, private credit and real estate firms' deal documents and prior work product into a structured knowledge base, then used it to screen opportunities, assemble comparables and draft investment memos. Harvey, the legal AI company, acquired the New York startup in July 2026.

GAII take
Signals Harvey's push into buy-side deal work; existing Harvey clients may get this capability bundled, worth comparing against standalone diligence tools.
