Binocs was founded to bring the rigor of a Big 4 due-diligence process to AI-drafted research. Most AI research tools produce confident paragraphs with no way to check them. Ours does the opposite: every section of a Binocs report links back to the source behind it, so a PE associate or consultant can verify it before it reaches an investment committee.
The founding team pairs deal experience with enterprise software experience. Between them, our founders have supported more than $100B of M&A across 100+ engagements, and scaled Mettl, an enterprise assessment platform, to 3,500+ enterprise users before Mercer acquired it in 2018. That combination shapes how we build: software written by people who have sat on the other side of the table, waiting on a report.
Today Binocs works with private equity and private credit funds representing $75B+ in combined AUM, 2 of the Big 4, and 5 of the top 30 global strategy consulting firms, operating out of Jersey City, NJ and Bengaluru, India.
