Dealbridge.ai Revolutionizes Deal Management With Launch of Groundbreaking Generative AI Platform

DealBridge.ai, a leading innovator in Deal Relationship Management (DRM), proudly announces the official release of its groundbreaking generative AI platform. This cutting-edge solution harnesses the power of Generative AI to automate financial, legal, and insurance processes, revolutionizing deal origination, due diligence, and distribution in the industry.

As the first DRM platform to integrate Generative AI, DealBridge.ai sets itself apart by streamlining the handling of unstructured data within data rooms. Traditionally, the manual review of extensive data was a time-consuming process, but DealBridge.ai’s DRM platform intelligently structures this data, enabling instantaneous freeform querying. The platform’s unique ability to summarize vast amounts of information in seconds positions it as a game-changer in the deal-making arena.

DealBridge.ai prioritizes data security, compliance, and risk mitigation. The platform provides a white-label Software as a Service (SaaS) solution hosted on DealBridge’s secure cloud infrastructure, aligning with the robust security measures of Microsoft Office products. DealBridge’s hosted Large Language Models (LLMs) ensure data privacy, and compliance is upheld with SOC2-compliant blob storage, addressing audit needs in sectors such as banking, finance, law, and insurance.

“The introduction of Generative AI in DealBridge.ai’s latest release marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Deal Relationship Management. We are empowering deal professionals to redefine the way they approach due diligence and decision-making,” says Joshua Masia, CEO of DealBridge.ai.

DealBridge.ai’s use of embedded LLMs and self-hosted vector databases, along with proprietary Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, sets it apart from other generative AI solutions. By building personalized models for each deal, the platform eliminates the risk of hallucinations, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and precision in the information generated.

“Generative AI is not about replacing human expertise but enhancing it. Our platform ensures a seamless integration of human judgment with advanced AI capabilities, providing a synergy that is unmatched in the industry,” emphasizes Jon Burlinson, Co-founder and CEO.

DealBridge.ai’s decision to emerge from stealth was driven by the need to engage early adopters who share the company’s vision. The platform’s MVP development benefited significantly from the insights and feedback provided by its initial partners, setting the stage for a practical and easy-to-adopt solution in the deal-making space.

Early adopters, including Pat Shannon at Equine Capital Solutions, have expressed enthusiasm for DealBridge.ai’s transformative capabilities. “The official release marks a pivotal moment, opening the floodgates for wider adoption and feedback to further improve the platform. DealBridge.ai’s Generative AI is a game-changer for our industry. We are excited to integrate this innovative solution into our processes, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of our Litigation Finance program.”

“The beauty of our solution is its agnosticism to asset class and industry. If you have data, we help extract value from it automatically. Whether it’s Litigation Finance, Medical Underwriting, M&A, you name it, we do it,” affirms Joshua Masia.

DealBridge.ai has a robust roadmap with continuous updates and features based on client demands. The company is currently in trials with over a dozen partnerships and plans to announce several formal collaborations in the coming quarters.

“We are on the cusp of even greater innovations. DealBridge.ai has a robust roadmap of future developments, and there’s no slowing down. We are committed to continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in Deal Relationship Management,” adds Christopher Benjamin, Co-founder and CTO.

DealBridge.ai’s generative AI software is available through the company’s website, offering a simple onboarding process for users to join, create deals, and leverage the platform’s powerful capabilities. At any point, you can elect to create your own branded white label experience that furthers your isolation of your data into a standalone environment.

Sentry Expands Free Funding Market Search for Litigators

By John Freund |

Sentry Funding’s free tool enabling litigators to instantly search the funding market on behalf of clients has been expanded.

Sentry’s free ‘decision in principle’ feature enables lawyers to evidence to clients that they have conducted a broad market search, even if funding is not ultimately taken out.

Having deployed £125m in funding across a range of case types, Sentry now has access to an even broader funding marketplace, covering 34 global jurisdictions. Finance is provided by 13 funders, five of which are members of the Association of Litigation Funders.

With the recent addition of Sentry’s first US-based funder, the US offering will now be expanding over the next few months. 

A faster process

Sentry has deployed the latest technology to make the search for funding even easier. 

  • The intuitive application process now only asks questions relevant to previous answers, saving lawyers time.
  • The commercial marketplace has been redeveloped with 63 new data points added to the funder criteria matrix - improving the accuracy of case / funder matching
  • Sentry has also begun building out its AI capabilities, starting with an automated auditing tool for live case progression audits. 

Tom Webster, chief executive officer at Sentry Funding, said:

‘By broadening our reach and speeding up the process, we’re making it even easier for lawyers to raise funding. We’re also giving litigators an easy way to show clients they have fully researched the market, rather than just approaching one or two funders. 

‘The service is free to use, so even if clients decide they do not ultimately want funding or if none is available for that case, for the lawyer, it makes sense to use our “decision in principle” feature, so they can put evidence on file that they did check the market.’

Sentry Funding is an SaaS (software as a service) technology provider that gives solicitors access to a diverse marketplace of litigation funders. It works with solicitors, funders and third-party providers to ensure claimants are getting the most efficient service for their funding needs. 

The Sentry Portal also acts as a case management system that runs a transparent digital case file for solicitors, funders, after-the-event insurance providers, barristers, cost lawyers and other relevant third parties.

NorthWall Capital Hits €2.9 B AUM on Private Credit Momentum

By John Freund |

NorthWall Capital has rocketed past €2.9 billion in assets under management after pulling in an additional €1.6 billion of institutional capital in 2025 alone. The London-based alternative credit manager says the surge reflects allocators’ intensifying hunt for scaled, multi-strategy platforms as Europe’s banks retrench and borrowers seek bespoke sources of credit.

A press release from NorthWall Capital details first-close totals across four distinct strategies. The flagship Credit Opportunities fund secured €731 million—already eclipsing its prior vintage—while the newly launched Senior Lending vehicle raised $503 million, translating to roughly $750 million of deployable firepower once leverage is applied. Asset-Backed Opportunities collected €252 million for collateral-rich loans in sectors underserved by traditional lenders, and the specialist Legal Assets platform locked down $169 million to extend the firm’s law-firm lending programme.

Founder and CIO Fabian Chrobog said the fundraising validates “the consistency of our approach” and NorthWall’s ability to craft solutions that resonate with investors and counterparties alike. With headcount slated to hit 40 by year-end, the firm plans to lean further into complex, situational credit born of bank deleveraging, regulatory shifts and sponsors’ need for certainty of execution.

Victory Park Expands Legal Credit Leadership with Maleson Promotion

By John Freund |

Victory Park Capital (VPC), a global alternative asset manager specializing in private credit, has announced that Justin Maleson will expand his role to Managing Director, co-heading the firm’s legal credit investment strategy. The promotion underscores VPC’s ongoing investment in its legal finance capabilities and follows Maleson’s initial appointment in 2024 as Assistant General Counsel.

An announcement from Victory Park Capital details Maleson’s new responsibilities, which include sourcing, analyzing, and managing investments across legal assets, while maintaining oversight of the firm’s legal operations. He joins Chad Clamage in co-leading the strategy, working alongside team members Hugo Lestiboudois and Andrew Pascal, under the continued oversight of VPC CEO and founder Richard Levy.

Maleson brings a strong background in litigation finance and commercial law to the position. Before joining VPC, he served as a director at Longford Capital, where he specialized in originating and managing litigation funding transactions. His earlier tenure as a litigation partner at Jenner & Block further deepened his exposure to complex legal matters, equipping him with the expertise needed to navigate the nuanced legal credit space.

VPC’s legal credit team emphasizes an asset-backed lending model, prioritizing downside protection and predictable income streams. The firm aims to capitalize on inefficiencies within the legal funding market by leveraging its internal expertise and broad network of relationships. With Maleson’s appointment, VPC signals its intent to further scale its legal credit strategy, positioning itself as a key player in the evolving legal finance sector.

Maleson’s elevation comes at a time of increasing sophistication in litigation finance, where experienced legal minds are playing a pivotal role in portfolio construction and risk management. As VPC bolsters its leadership, the move may foreshadow further institutionalization of legal asset investing and heightened competition in a maturing market segment.
