Aries for private equity
Forward-deployed AI engineering for your portcos
We hook into the tools your portfolio companies already run, automate the 80/20, and go live in weeks.
Assessment to production in weeks
The same rollout at every company, so it's easy to repeat across the portfolio.
Week 1
Map it
A day on site and a documented assessment, then API access to the tools you already run.
Weeks 2 to 3
Dry runs
Workflows run in shadow mode on your live data, so you can check the output before anything acts.
Week 4
Live
Automations and reports move into production, with a person in the loop where it matters.
Where the value shows up
We target the EBITDA drivers specific to each operation, and build a data asset underneath.
Revenue leakage recovery
Unbilled jobs, missed change orders, and uncaptured materials, recovered across the portfolio.
Working capital and collections
DSO reduction, faster invoice cycles, and AR cleanup that frees up cash at the portco level.
Back-office cost-out
Automate manual admin and reallocate headcount toward higher-value work.
Portfolio KPI reporting
Real-time, cross-system reporting and an owner digest at the portco or fund level.
Bespoke high-ROI builds
Custom, AI-native software at the portco or fund level when the return justifies it.
Who you're working with
We're a team of senior engineers and operators who have each spent over a decade in Big Tech and startups. After successful exits, we started Tundra to work hands-on with PE and search funds looking to bring the benefits of AI to their businesses.
