Onyx
Onyx Intelligence

The AI
revenue diagnostic platform
for private equity.

PE returns are now driven by operational value creation, which requires deep, continuous insight into each portfolio company. Onyx delivers it.

Onyx revenue creation cockpit running on a portfolio company

With the ZIRP era over, PE returns depend on operational value creation, yet roughly 30% of initiatives fail.

Most of that failure is preventable when the right insight is in hand. The issue is that even in great firms, due diligence insights do not fully travel from the deal team to the execution team, and diligence itself is a one-time probe. Onyx is continuous, deep and diagnostic, so the focus on revenue capture starts from day one.

Operational value creation is now essential

With the ZIRP era over, returns depend on operational value creation, not multiple expansion.

A third of initiatives fail

Roughly 30% of value creation initiatives fail, and most of that failure is preventable if the insight is there.

The insight rarely travels

Even in great firms, due diligence insights do not fully travel from the deal team to the execution team, and diligence itself is a one-time probe.

No existing tool does this properly.

Each of the alternatives has a real limitation. Onyx does not.

Internal portfolio company BI

Sits downstream of management and reinforces their narrative.

Strategy and commercial advisory

A snapshot that ages the day the team rolls off.

Enterprise process mining

Built for large corporates, a poor fit for mid-market portfolio companies.

Internal FP&A and RevOps

Already absorbed by board reporting, with no portfolio-wide view.
