纽约，2025年6月20日——面向私人市场的AI驱动交易管理平台Meridian今天宣布完成了700万美元的种子轮融资。本轮融资由645 Ventures领投，现有投资者Chaac Ventures参与跟投。Meridian还迎来了一组高影响力的天使投资人——这些来自私募股权、信贷和并购法律领域的行业领袖中有许多人作为早期用户，积极塑造了Meridian的发展。

Founded by Alexander Sen, a former investor at Blackstone, Thoma Bravo, and CVC, Meridian is building the AI operating system for private market investors. The company combines modern CRM with deep workflow automation and proprietary AI agents to solve the core operational pain points of the world’s leading investors – from deal origination to exit..

由前黑石、托马布拉沃和CVC投资者亚历山大·森创立的Meridian公司，正在为私募市场投资者构建人工智能操作系统。该公司将现代客户关系管理（CRM）与深度工作流程自动化及专有的人工智能代理相结合，解决全球领先投资者从交易发起到退出过程中的核心运营痛点。

“Private equity still runs on fragmented, manual systems: clunky software, Excel trackers, and scattered third-party data subscriptions,” said Alexander Sen, founder and CEO of Meridian. “We’re building software that finally reflects how top investment teams source and diligence deals – and we’ve vertically integrated AI to enable workflows that were never possible before.”.

“私募股权仍然依赖于分散的手动系统：笨拙的软件、Excel跟踪器和零散的第三方数据订阅，”Meridian创始人兼首席执行官Alexander Sen表示，“我们正在构建的软件最终反映了顶级投资团队如何寻找交易和进行尽职调查，并且我们垂直整合了人工智能，以实现以前无法完成的工作流程。”

Meridian brings together a team of over 25 across New York and Miami, with experience spanning enterprise software, AI infrastructure, and capital markets. The company has also hired an experienced customer team who guide firms through the most important technological shift facing private markets today..

Meridian在纽约和迈阿密汇集了一支超过25人的团队，团队经验涵盖企业软件、人工智能基础设施和资本市场。该公司还聘请了一支经验丰富的客户团队，指导企业应对当今私人市场面临的最重要的技术变革。

At the heart of the platform is Scout, Meridian’s AI engine. Scout powers intelligent agents that map markets, pinpoint the right companies, automate core evaluation workflows, and surface relationship signals where they matter most. It helps firms spot high-conviction deals before the market does – giving teams a decisive sourcing and diligence edge..

平台的核心是Meridian的人工智能引擎Scout。Scout赋能智能代理，这些代理能够绘制市场地图、精准定位合适的企业、自动化核心评估流程，并在最关键的地方揭示关系信号。它帮助公司比市场更早发现高信念的交易，为团队提供决定性的资源和尽职调查优势。

Meridian has to date focused on the top of the market, helping some of the world’s largest private equity and credit firms run better, more intelligent deal sourcing and evaluation processes. The platform is quickly gaining share at top 100 firms and is now expanding into LPs, investment banks, and global hedge funds – reflecting a broader shift toward modern infrastructure across every layer of private company investing..

Meridian迄今为止专注于市场顶端，帮助一些全球最大的私人股权和信贷公司运行更高效、更智能的交易发掘与评估流程。该平台正在快速在前100大公司中占据份额，并且现在正扩展到有限合伙人（LPs）、投资银行和全球对冲基金——这反映出在私人公司投资的每一层面都朝着现代化基础设施的广泛转变。

“There’s a generational shift happening in private markets – more complexity, more competition, and more data,” said Nnamdi Okike, Managing Partner at 645 Ventures. “AI is a game changer for private market deal sourcing, due diligence and deal management. Firms that do not leverage AI in this new market will be left behind.

“私人市场正在发生代际转变——更多的复杂性、更多的竞争以及更多的数据，”645 Ventures管理合伙人南纳迪·奥基克表示。“人工智能在私人市场的交易来源、尽职调查和交易管理方面是一个改变游戏规则的因素。在这个新市场中不利用人工智能的公司将会落后。”

We were particularly drawn to Alex’s insights into how AI will transform private markets, which were developed through his experience in private equity. Meridian is arming investors with the system they’ll need to win.”.

我们特别被亚历克斯对人工智能将如何改变私人市场的见解所吸引，这些见解源于他在私募股权领域的经验。Meridian正在为投资者提供他们获胜所需的系统。"

The funding will be used to expand Meridian’s AI capabilities, accelerate product development, and scale go-to-market efforts globally.

这笔资金将用于扩展子午线公司的人工智能能力、加速产品开发，并在全球范围内扩大上市力度。

“Private market firms are under pressure to move faster, operate leaner, and make sharper decisions,” said Sen. “Software is no longer just overhead at private equity firms – it’s become a source of edge. The best investors are treating technology and data as central to how they generate outsized returns.”.

“私人市场公司面临着加快速度、精简运营和做出更明智决策的压力，”Sen表示。“软件在私募股权公司中不再仅仅是开销——它已经成为一种优势来源。最优秀的投资者将技术和数据视为实现超额回报的核心。”
