Layer 6 · Financial AnalysisVC / PE · Concept Survey5 minutes

Would your firm pay for a managed financial analysis layer?

We are testing demand for a service that helps VC and PE firms turn portfolio company financial data into KPI tracking, cash-flow analysis, valuation support, forecasting, and LP / board-ready reporting.

The Concept

Many firms collect the data, but still rely on manual spreadsheet work, ad hoc reporting, and partner judgment under deadline pressure. This service focuses on the final layer: analysis and decision support.

Firms below $500M AUM

$100K / year

or 0.025% of AUM — whichever applies

Firms at $500M+ AUM

0.025% of AUM / year

Scales with firm size; no fixed floor

Where It Fits

Layer 6 in the data workflow. This is not data entry, bookkeeping, fund administration, or a dashboard-only tool.

1

Collection

Financial inputs gathered.

2

Routing

Data sent to the right workflows.

3

Parsing

Raw files become structured fields.

4

Storage

Clean records are saved.

5

Access

Data is usable across systems.

6

Analysis

Insights, forecasts, valuations, and reports.

Service Promise

What would be included. The goal is recurring analytical capacity for investment firms that need more than static dashboards but do not want to hire a full internal portfolio finance and reporting team.

KPI monitoring

Revenue, growth, margins, burn, runway, cash balance, headcount, ARR/MRR, EBITDA, and company-specific metrics.

Cash flow analysis

Runway, capital needs, cash-out timing, burn acceleration, financing risk, and intervention flags.

Valuation support

Comparable multiples, valuation-change support, markdown indicators, prior-period consistency checks, and support schedules.

Forecasting

Scenario models for reserve planning, follow-on decisions, portfolio construction, exit timing, and downside cases.

LP reporting

Quarterly exhibits, performance commentary, source-backed narrative inputs, and annual meeting support.

Board / IC materials

Board packet analysis, investment committee summaries, operating partner briefings, and portfolio review memos.

Survey

This survey tests whether the problem, scope, buyer, and pricing feel credible for VC / PE firms.
