AI Back Office for Private Funds
For money managers to raise their next billion, they dedicate entire teams to spend days filling diligence questionnaires with recycled content. We do it in minutes using AI.

Before GovernGPT, I trained some of the largest LLMs on the world's largest chip @Cerebras. I led and co-invented a novel way to use AI (Deep Reinforcement Learning) to design chips (patented and published in a top-tier ML conference) for Huawei. At Mila (the world's largest AI lab), I co-authored foundational AI models with Yoshua (godfather of AI), and Doina (DeepMind director).

My path has been a diverse one - from McGill business to engineering, I specialize in building back office tools that elicit consumer-level joy. Whether at startups, scale-ups, McKinsey, or scientific research centers, my principles are a constant: “Less is More” and “Never forget the user”. Few things are more rewarding than seeing neglected users realize that “this actually works”.

Problem:
Asset Managers who raise money from institutional investors need to fill out questionnaires in various formats for customer acquisition and retention. Most of these answers already exist and need to be manually kept up-to-date. Also, it requires manual chasing down of other teams (e.g. compliance) for recently certified answers. A lot of effort that could be otherwise spent on higher value fundraising tasks.
Our Solution:
We automate finding fresh answers, maintenance of the database, and intracompany communication. Existing solutions either don’t get used or they need a team of 5 to manage it. GovernGPT, natively powered by gen-AI and purpose-built for asset managers, frees up the time for 4 out of those 5. In the end, GovernGPT exports these questionnaires in the very same format they came in with answers filled out.
Who we are
We're Mamal and Oliver, best friends who love mountains and craft beers :) We've collectively built GPTs from scratch, developed back-office products that elicit consumer-level joy, and published Machine Learning papers - all this at startups, scale-ups, large corporates, and consulting firms like McKinsey. This photo is us right after we got GovernGPT swag!
How you can help us
We’re currently piloting with a private credit, a hedge fund, and a private equity firm. If you know forward-thinking asset managers who want this problem to be solved today (get a huge discount before we raise seed), please put us in touch (mamal@governgpt.ai).
