About the role
About Keye
Keye (YC F24) is building the world’s smartest private equity analyst. We’re not just accelerating due diligence—we’re helping investors generate alpha. Unlike typical ChatGPT-enhanced tools, Keye is designed specifically for the hard problems in PE diligence.
When firms analyze deals through Keye, they tap into a deep library of diligence knowledge and best practices, built from over a decade of real investor experience. Our proprietary analysis engine helps teams quickly identify high-potential deals and move faster on the ones that matter.
We’re a team of investors and engineers with backgrounds at Vista Equity Partners, Permira, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Tesla and multiple startups. Our founding team has over 20 years of M&A investing experience, has founded companies before, and has been part of four successful acquisitions as early employees.
Keye is revenue-generating and has grown 600% in the last six months (some press about our growth here). We’re backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Sorenson Capital, and Plug and Play.
Launched just four months ago, Keye is already working with 40% of the top 25 PE firms, representing over $1.7 trillion in AUM. Simply put we are a rocket ship.
