About Metal

Firm proprietary data is only as sharp as the context around it. Metal is the context platform for private capital. It structures everything a firm has touched, every deal, company, and figure, along with every decision the deal team has made, into one context graph. So the AI tools your deal teams already rely on, like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot, can reason with the firm's own knowledge. Every deal feeds back into the graph, so the firm's edge compounds: each decision sharpens the one that follows. Metal is purpose-built for private equity and private credit. We turn what a firm knows into how it wins.
