About Steffen Risager

After a decade in the trenches as an LP investing more than $10 billion in private funds and executing co-investments, I finally got tired of the same problem that plagues every institutional investor: we spend too much time trapped in spreadsheets instead of doing the work that actually matters. I've lived the frustrations firsthand - endless hours wasted on "have we met this GP before?", Excel-hell diligence processes, and portfolio monitoring systems that never quite deliver what they promise. These inefficiencies aren't just annoying; they actively prevent LPs from making their best investment decisions. That's why I'm now building software specifically designed for LPs by someone who's actually been an LP. Our solutions streamline and automate the critical but time-consuming tasks around sourcing, diligence, and monitoring, freeing up institutional investors to focus on relationship building and investment decision-making - the things that truly drive returns. I believe the future of institutional investing isn't about who can build the biggest spreadsheet. It's about who can leverage technology to spend more time on high-value activities while maintaining institutional knowledge and analytical rigor. If you're an LP who's ever thought "there has to be a better way to do this," I'd love to connect. Let's talk about getting you out of spreadsheet hell and back to what you do best: making great investments.
