Private markets are undergoing two related shifts: access is broadening to a wider investor base, while technology is evolving from providing firms with software to increasingly supporting the work itself. Private capital AUM has nearly tripled over the past decade, reaching $16.7 trillion at the end of 2025, according to PitchBook1. As the investor base expands, firms must handle more onboarding and servicing alongside growing reporting and data requirements, without a corresponding increase in headcount or operational complexity.
