Frequently Asked Questions

Is Meridian secure enough for private equity firms?

Yes. Meridian uses enterprise-grade security protocols, including SOC 2 compliance, SSO support, and full data encryption, trusted by leading private capital investors.

How does Meridian help us source more deals?

Meridian combines thematic sourcing, banker coverage tracking, and real-time alerts (fundraises, sector activity, market moves). This means you capture banker-led processes and proprietary signals without relying on manual tracking.

Will Meridian help hold bankers and advisors accountable?

Yes. Every inbound email, teaser, and CIM is auto-tagged, so you can see exactly which bankers and advisors are delivering quality deal flow, and where coverage is thin.

How fast can we migrate to Meridian?

Most firms are live in 4–6 weeks. Our team handles data cleansing, enrichment, and workflow replication so your firm starts with a stronger foundation than before.

Can we tailor Meridian to match our workflows?

Yes. Unlike rigid CRMs, Meridian mirrors your investment process, from sourcing funnels to IC review templates and portfolio tracking, so adoption is seamless.

Where does your data come from?

Meridian bundles proprietary and public data sources (the same providers used by PitchBook and FactSet) directly into the platform. This reduces reliance on third-party vendors and lowers costs.

Will we lose any of our historical data during migration?

No. Meridian imports, cleanses, and enriches all historical deal, contact, and activity data, improving your data foundation rather than just transferring it.

What integrations does Meridian support?

Meridian integrates with Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, and Google Workspace. All emails, meetings, and documents sync automatically to the right deals and contacts.

Will my team actually adopt this?

Yes. Meridian is Outlook-first, runs in the background, and automates manual tasks like tagging, benchmarking, and IC prep.

Do I own my data on Meridian?

Absolutely. Your data is yours, always. You have full access to export everything at any time. We've built Meridian to earn your trust through a great experience, not by locking you in.
