Introducing Due Diligence Workspace: Automate Diligence from Initial Evaluation to Decision

Buy-side deal teams across private equity, corporate development, and M&A advisory are being asked to evaluate more complex deals, faster, and with no room for error. At the same time, competition for high-quality assets has never been fiercer, with trillions in dry powder chasing a finite number of attractive opportunities in a volatile market. The firms that consistently win are those with a disciplined, scalable, and data-driven deal process.

To tackle these challenging conditions, AlphaSense has launched Due Diligence Workspace. It brings together your virtual data room (VDR) files, proprietary internal content, and premium AlphaSense market intelligence in a single AI-powered Workspace, so teams can move from discovery to decision faster, with greater conviction and less risk.

What Due Diligence Workspace Is

Due Diligence Workspace is AlphaSense’s first purpose‑built Workspace for buyside and M&A, designed around how deal teams actually work. It centralizes VDR content, internal content like CIMs and past research, and AlphaSense’s exclusive market intelligence in a single project-space, then layers on specialized AI agents built for rigorous VDR analysis, due diligence, and investment committee (IC) preparation.

Within each Workspace, deal teams can sync thousands of data room documents from Egnyte, SharePoint, Box, and more while preserving folder structure.They can interrogate both their own materials and the broader AlphaSense content library side-by-side,

Instead of jumping between tools to answer questions about the VDR, target business, and the market, teams can run dedicated agents aligned to key diligence phases to get precise answers on customer, business, and risk profiles and generate structured, IC‑ready outputs in minutes. Pre-built or custom Workflow Agents allow you to embed your strategic approach into every deal and make the process repeatable.

How to Use Workspace

Create a Due Diligence Workspace for each deal

Connect AlphaSense to your VDR and file systems, create a dedicated Workspace, and ingest thousands of folders and files while preserving folder structure, or create custom folders for targeted analysis.

Run specialized AI agents across diligence

Use seven pre‑built agents or create your own custom agents to support each diligence phase, from initial company understanding to deep analysis and final outputs. Custom agents automatically appear in every Due Diligence Workspace for a consistent, repeatable process.

Validate assumptions with premium market intelligence

Compare your internal materials against the broader AlphaSense universe to stress-test your thesis and uncover additional insights.

Synthesize findings into IC‑ready materials automatically

Bring together source materials, analyses, and agent outputs in one place to quickly produce clear, committee‑ready deliverables, while retaining a clear link back to the supporting content.

Why Workspace Matters for Deal Teams

Cut VDR review time and increase deal capacity

Eliminate hours spent on manual document review and ad‑hoc file wrangling, and focus on the analysis that actually drives returns. By automating VDR review, document triage, and first‑pass synthesis with AI, teams can systematically screen, compare, and advance more opportunities without sacrificing quality.

Get a deeper, fact‑based view of every deal

Compare your data room, CIMs, memos, and more to AlphaSense’s premium external intelligence for a sharper view of every opportunity. Specialized agents surface tailwinds, value creation levers, potential deal killers, and blind spots earlier in the process, helping teams underwrite both upside and downside with greater confidence.

Reach conviction and close faster

In competitive auctions, timing is everything. Streamline the path‑to‑conviction, and reach a defensible buy‑or‑pass decision sooner to submit stronger bids faster. That speed can be the difference between winning a marquee asset and losing out to a competing bidder.

What Sets AlphaSense Apart

AlphaSense is uniquely positioned to support the end‑to‑end deal lifecycle by uniting three critical elements: premium external market intelligence, powerful internal content integration, and AI agents built for complex, real-world industry workflows.

Our 500M document content foundation combines exclusive broker research and 250K expert call transcripts with your proprietary materials — CIMs, data rooms, and past deal work — so you get both market context and deal-specific insights in one place. On top of that, AI is embedded directly into the diligence process, from VDR analysis to company profiling and IC prep, so outputs align with how deal teams actually work.

The result? Deal teams can evaluate more opportunities with less effort, build sharper theses with fewer blind spots, and get to conviction faster in the moments that matter most.
