Michael Bridge, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Chronograph, said, "Getting an answer from an LLM is easy.

We are grateful for Sixth Street's confidence in our vision, and we have never been better positioned to execute on what comes next."

A Decade of AI in Private Markets
Chronograph has been bringing machine learning and AI capabilities to private markets since its founding in 2016. The firm's data model, architecture, and flexible deployment model have enabled a deterministic system of record at scale for a decade. In 2025, Chronograph partnered with Anthropic to bring portfolio data into Claude as a launch partner for Claude for Financial Services. Chronograph also has a listed Codex plugin in partnership with OpenAI, enabling investors to query their complete portfolio in natural language and surface strategic insights in their LLM of choice. Earlier this year, Chronograph launched Semantic Search, a domain-trained capability that understands the intent behind investor queries and surfaces relevant insights across an entire portfolio of documents simultaneously.
With AI adoption growing rapidly across institutions, investors have more means than ever to interrogate their data. However, efficiently accessing and trusting data at scale remains a key challenge. Chronograph provides full versioning and point-in-time reproducibility for data – a chain of trust and technology that ensures global investors can safely and confidently use and manage fiduciary workflows for private capital investments.
Accelerating Private Credit
Private credit is a cornerstone of private capital markets but has long been underserved by technology providers. Chronograph has made it a strategic priority with a suite of purpose-built capabilities for private credit managers — including a robust data model, deep configurability of workflows designed specifically for the credit cycle, and analytics built around the complexity unique to the asset class. Sixth Street Growth's investment and partnership will help drive Chronograph's private credit rollout.
