Future of Finance: How AI Is Rewiring Private Market Workflows

*Join PitchBook and our partners at Harvey and Madrona for a panel on how AI is rewiring private market workflows, then stay for the Kraken game on us.*

AI is changing how private-market work gets done. Sourcing, research, diligence, contract review, and closing used to be a slow, step-by-step relay between separate teams. Now each step is being rebuilt by a different kind of AI tool, while dealmaking accelerates.

Legal-native agents like Harvey are taking the first pass at diligence, redlining, and closing. And venture investors like Madrona feel the combined effect in their daily work: how they source, evaluate, and decide.

What holds it together is trust in the data underneath. PitchBook’s private-market data runs inside tools like Harvey, so one dataset can follow a deal from first search to final decision. That only works if teams can act on what the AI tells them instead of stopping to double-check it.

What the panel will discuss

• One deal, three seats: how AI reshapes each stage of a deal
• Research → diligence → close: what’s changing at each step
• Trust over capability: why trust in the data matters
• Speed vs. better deals: is faster always better?
• 12 months out: what’s next for AI in private markets

Has your workflow been rewired yet, or are you still running the old relay?
