^{"Providing private equity-backed companies with better data and access to AI tools."}

Founded by Scott Cara, Steve Mazzari & Jeffrey D.‍

Hey everyone, meet Scott from Elevate, he's showcasing the Elevate AI-powered data management for roll-ups.

🧑💻 Team: Expertise at the Intersection of Finance x Tech

Scott (CEO) was most recently a Vice President at Sycamore Partners, a $10B+ AUM private equity firm. Scott is also a Harvard Business School grad where he hob-knobbed with too many finance bros + gals.

Steve (CTO) was a software engineer at Meta, the social media giant, metaverse pioneer, AI talent acquisition firm. He has also seen this movie before as a founding engineer at multiple start-ups.

Jeff (CPO) was a software engineer at a $17B+ hedge fund, before giving into the crypto-craze. His Circle stock sustains us.

The three founders have known each other for over a decade since their CS undergrad majors together at Duke in the not-so-dirty-anymore Durham, NC.

⚠️ Problem: Private Equity-Backed Businesses Struggle to Use AI Because of Data Challenges

📉 75% of M&A deals underperform due to integration challenges.

🔥 #1 cause of M&A integration problems is data fragmentation.

🤖 #1 hurdle blocking companies from using AI is data quality – #2 is data privacy & protection.

‍

🚀 Solution: Elevate’s AI-Powered Data Management Platform Acts as a Translator Enabling PE-Owned Businesses to Use AI in
Their Daily Operations

The Elevate platform helps PE-backed acquisitive companies (aka roll-ups) reach for data nirvana through:

1. Migrations: Transitioning data from legacy systems to the core tech stack,
2. Warehousing: Consolidating, cleaning, and enriching data across acquisitions and systems, providing a single source of truth, and
3. AI Services: Unlocking agentic AI automations built on top of clean warehouse data.

But don’t trust this, ask their customers.
