Celebrating 100 Clients: How We’re Helping Investment Firms Win Back Time and Increase Deal Flow

Blueflame AI

I’m excited to share a milestone that means a lot to our team: we’ve reached 100 clients. Hitting this number reflects the trust our clients have placed in Blueflame AI to make the work of investing faster, clearer, and less manual so they can focus on the judgment calls that matter most.

From day one, our goal has been simple: help investment firms reclaim time for the work that really matters. If you’ve ever lost a weekend to an IC memo or spent hours combing through expert transcripts, you know how quickly busywork adds up. Hearing a partner at a $10B PE firm say, “Blueflame’s IC memo analysis automation saved me over 10 hours this weekend. I actually got to play golf,” captures exactly what we set out to do.

What our clients achieved with Blueflame: time saved, deals won

Across the client base, the numbers tell a consistent story of time saved and throughput gained. On average, teams are saving 10 hours per CIM analysis, shifting energy from extraction to evaluation. Deal sourcing and personalized outreach now take minutes instead of hours, turning cold starts into consistent, targeted pipelines. Nearly 3,000 hours have been eliminated from expert network transcript reviews, speeding up insight gathering without sacrificing rigor. And due diligence timelines are moving up to 60% faster, helping you act decisively when competition is tight.

These gains are freeing capacity for better debates, sharper theses, and faster decisions.

Product momentum that meets you where you work

Over the past few months, we’ve focused on making sure Blueflame fits seamlessly into your existing tools and processes. We launched Global Search so you can find the right materials across sources in seconds. We added deep research options by incorporating Perplexity, OpenAI, and our own research agent, which means you can press further when a question really matters. We also implemented the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to improve how Blueflame connects to the rest of your stack, reducing tab switching and rework.

On the company side, joining Datasite—and working alongside Datasite and Grata—lets us bring content, data, and intelligence together across the entire deal lifecycle. Our new integration with Affinity extends that continuity into relationship management, so sourcing, outreach, and diligence feel like one flow rather than three separate tasks.

Client spotlight: scaling outreach without losing the personal touch

One client, an $8B private equity firm, needed to scale outreach while keeping quality high. With Blueflame, they increased personalized email workflow efficiency by 60%. Each batch of 20+ emails now saves 30–60 minutes, and drafts land at roughly 90% accuracy—requiring only light edits. They’ve grown volume without adding headcount, maintained response rates, and reduced manual fatigue across the team.

The result is more conversations with the right founders and executives, and less time staring at a blank page.

Looking ahead

Reaching 100 clients is just the beginning. Each of these firms represents a partnership, a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in investment management and dealmaking. When I see teams reclaiming thousands of hours, closing deals faster, and actually enjoying their work more, I know we're on the right path.

To our clients: thank you for trusting us with your workflows and for pushing us to build better solutions every day.  

To those considering Blueflame: join us in reshaping how investment professionals work. The future of investing means working smarter with the right technology partner.

Here's to the next 100 clients and the continued evolution of our industry.
