Wealth tech has grown large enough that "trust us, the AI is accurate" shouldn't be the bar anymore. The space deserves proper, public research on raw model capabilities.
For LPs, fund managers, and the teams building wealth tech: AI is doing more of the document work in private markets. But how do you know it's getting the numbers right? Today, we're launching AWE-Bench (Assets & Wealth Extraction Benchmark): an open benchmark that tests how well AI models extract data from financial documents, like the reports and notices investors use to track money moving in and out of funds. What makes it useful: → Every document has an exact answer key, so results are checkable → Break down errors by field type, document family, and layout → See cost per document and processing time next to accuracy Dwayne Forde (@dwayneforde), Mantle co-founder & CTO, walks through how it works 👇 blog.withmantle.com/introduc…

Stijn (@stijnbe) moved 11 years of @outsiteco's cap table history onto Mantle in a single day. Outsite runs a global network of coliving spaces and boutique hotels for people who live and work from anywhere. For most of its history, the cap table lived in a spreadsheet held by outside counsel. Here's what changed with Mantle from day one: → Same-day migration → Unlimited stakeholders → Ability for employees to see their own holdings → Scenario modelling during fundraising → Legal counsel access

Congrats Lohit and the team on the official launch of @weareande 🎉 I first heard about Ande over dinner, and I immediately heard the passion in his voice and body language. That kind of conviction is contagious. Corporate entertainment is broken. It's a problem every company runs into, and somehow no one's solved it well. Solving it takes the right founder and the right partner behind them, and here you've got two fellow Waterloo grads, Lohit Sarma and Arif Janmohamed, teaming up to go after something everyone needs. Watching Lohit build in stealth has been exciting, but the launch today is really just the start of the next chapter of the next phase of brand and customer growth. Excited to watch what's next 🚀

Pulley announced it's shutting down and ending all operations on December 8th. If you're a founder staring down a cap table migration you didn't plan for, here's what we can take off your plate: - Hands-free cap table migration (we'll handle the entire thing for you) - $100 off paid plans, including Mantle Essentials ($1,200/year) - Unlimited stakeholders on all plans, a support team that knows you by name, flat-rate pricing, and so much more You don't have to solve this alone. We're here to help. #pulleyshutdown withmantle.com/equity

I’ve received tons of messages today from Founders asking what their options are now that Pulley announced they are shutting down and will stop operations on December 8th, 2026. Good news: Mantle is here to help. 1/ We’re currently providing concierge onboarding for companies migrating from Pulley to Mantle; we start the process within one business day. 2/ You’ll get $100 off our annual Mantle Essentials plan of $1,200 (until December 8, 2026). 3/ You get what thousands of Founders already rely on Mantle for: flat-rate pricing that doesn’t creep up on you, unlimited stakeholders on all plans, new features every month, and a support team that knows you by name and not a ticket number. Let us take care of you: equity.withmantle.com/signup #pulleyshutdown

100 paper cranes. One of our summer co-ops, Reuel, hand-folded one after each PR he merged into production during his term at Mantle. Poetically, PR #100 landed on his last official work day. A clean finish to a summer of shipping. Best of luck on your next adventure, Reuel!

That’s the idea behind this year’s LP Tech Summit (hosted by The Private Markets Forum), and why our CEO @avarma is joining the conversation. On stage in Toronto, Amar will be talking with senior pension, operations, and technology leaders about what it actually takes to bring private markets up to speed.
