Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

For private equity firms, the business and fundraising landscape is becoming more challenging and complex. This means it is increasingly necessary to make both better and faster decisions. Lantern hopes to create a faster path to insight for General Partners, filling what it calls a "data analytics gap" in the private equity industry.

The company delivers a suite of fund and portfolio monitoring products designed to improve performance. Its approach is to combine the power of data with rich expertise in the sector, supplying products that target key problems. Solutions include AI-powered search, real-time analytics and automated data validation, spanning the needs of Partners, CFOs, COOs and CTOs.

As a relatively young company, Lantern still has much to prove. That said, its solutions appear to have been well-received thus far, and its expertise in the sector puts it in a great position to know what clients will want next. In fact, the company is currently working to add more products to its suite, with a natural language search tool cited to release soon.
