LATO

LATO is an agent based research product for investors. It runs the primary and secondary research behind a deal, aiming to compress commercial due diligence from weeks into hours. The platform sources and interviews hundreds of verified domain experts and customers by voice, in any language, and delivers each interview with a recording, a transcript and an analysis of key themes. It combines these interviews with thousands of documents from public sources and the customer's own proprietary data into a single study. The study can then become a live simulation of the market, built on what experts and customers said, which users can run against scenarios to see where a market may be heading. Listed uses include commercial due diligence, expert and customer interviews, market sizing, competitive mapping, pricing studies, deal sourcing, inbound screening and portfolio value creation. LATO is aimed at private equity, venture and other investment firms. It lists integrations with Outlook, SharePoint, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Affinity, Harmonic, Granola, Teams, Attio and Excel. The vendor states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, that it does not train on customer data, and that it is GDPR compliant, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 listed as planned. Its co founders are Tymek Staniszewski, formerly in growth and private equity, and a software engineer with a background in AI. Pricing is not published.
