Private Equity Portfolio Finance & Value Creation | Iris Finance

AI That Protects and Grows Fund Performance

Iris unifies portfolio company financials, operational indicators, and debt exposure into a single source of truth. Monitor value creation in real time, pressure-test scenarios instantly, and make faster, more confident capital decisions.

Slow Financial Insight Destroys Value Creation

When portfolio company data arrives late, underperformance festers, cash evaporates, and management teams lose control of outcomes. Most PE-backed consumer brands still report financials monthly — meaning operating partners learn about margin erosion, cash runway problems, and missed targets weeks after they happen. By then, the quarter is already burned.

See Contribution to Value Creation Daily

Portfolio success depends on consistent operational improvement. Iris translates revenue, cost, and throughput data into daily signals across every portfolio company, so operating partners know which initiatives move the needle and which consume resources without return.

Stop waiting for quarterly board packs to learn what happened. See value creation in real time.

Plan vs Actual

Investment theses collapse when variance goes undetected. Iris tracks revenue, margin, and cash against plan at each portfolio company - daily, not quarterly, so operating partners spot deviations and intervene before they burn the quarter or put the thesis at risk.

Every portfolio company gets a live scorecard that holds management teams fully accountable to the plan.

Clear Customer and Product Economics

Growth without margin expansion is a trap. Iris exposes which products, segments, and channels generate real economic profit after all costs and capital demands so operating partners can shift resources toward what compounds enterprise value and cut what quietly destroys it.

Don't let topline revenue growth mask deteriorating unit economics across your portfolio.

Protect Cash and Fund Performance

Liquidity is the lifeblood of operational turnarounds. Iris forecasts cash needs and covenant exposure under multiple scenarios at each portfolio company so operators can avoid crisis management and maintain execution momentum throughout the entire hold period.

Every cash forecast connects to live financial data, not a static model your CFO updated a quarter ago.

Step 1: Plug In Your Stack

Shopify. Amazon. QuickBooks. Ad platforms. One click. 10 minutes. Done.

Step 2: We Fix Your Data

Revenue, costs, inventory, ad spend—unified into one model. Clean. Structured. CPG-ready.

Step 3: Ask Anything

"Show me profit by SKU." "Forecast next quarter." "Where'd my margin go?" Real-time answers. Not month-old spreadsheets.
