Chronograph

What Chronograph does

Chronograph is a cloud-based portfolio monitoring, reporting, and diligence platform purpose-built for institutional private capital investors. Founded in 2016 in Brooklyn, New York, the company serves both Limited Partners (LPs — including pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, OCIOs, family offices, and fund-of-funds) and General Partners (GPs — including private equity, growth equity, venture capital, infrastructure, real assets, hedge fund, and private credit managers). The platform is differentiated by a configurable data model supporting any metric, asset class, reporting period, or currency, combined with full audit trails, versioning, and point-in-time reproducibility that make its outputs regulatorily defensible. Chronograph monitors $5.9 trillion in client invested capital across 15,000 funds and 258,000 private companies, administers over $1 trillion in aggregate quarterly marks, and is used by 8 of the 10 largest GPs and 5 of the 10 largest LPs globally.

The underlying technology combines a GraphQL API layer with proprietary AI capabilities including ChronoAI, AI-powered Semantic Search domain-trained on private capital, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors to OpenAI (ChatGPT and Codex) and Anthropic Claude. The Snowbank data warehousing offering replicates client data into Snowflake for use with Snowflake Cortex, Snowpark ML, and downstream BI tools, while the xConnect Excel plug-in and Word integrations embed Chronograph data into existing GP and LP workflows. A purpose-built Private Credit platform extends the platform to covenant monitoring, Adjusted EBITDA add-back validation, and bespoke borrower reporting.

Chronograph generates revenue through annual quote-based SaaS subscriptions to institutional clients, with pricing tiers ranging from approximately $25,000-$150,000 annually for family offices and mid-market managers to substantially higher enterprise contracts for the largest GPs and LPs. The company sells exclusively through a direct enterprise sales motion, with regional Client Development Directors covering the US, EMEA, and APAC. The revenue base is split roughly evenly between LP and GP clients. Total reported equity funding stands at approximately $160M, anchored by a $140M+ June 2026 growth investment from Sixth Street Growth alongside continued backing from Summit Partners, Carlyle AlpInvest, Nasdaq Ventures, and Sidekick Partners.
