Embedding AI in the investment workflow through forward deployed engineering​

The outcome: new agent skills and connectors, co-created with internal champions and extended into value creation work across the portfolio.​

CONTEXT

A mid-market private capital; firm based in New York wanted to integrate AI into its investment and operations teams work, rather than bolted on as a separate tool. Palladium was engaged as a training partner, working on-site in New York alongside internal champions to co-create agent skills and connectors around the firm’s own processes, and to carry that capability through into the portfolio.​

THE OUTCOME
  • Ran a custom training engagement embedded with the investment and
    operations teams.
  • Co-created new agent skills with internal champions.
  • Worked on-site in New York across both investment and operations workflows.​
  • Moved into follow-on value creation projects to assess and improve AI maturity across portfolio companies.​
