AI decisions are judgment calls.
Not technology calls.

Private markets firms don't have an AI problem. They have a governance problem.

Trekka works alongside asset managers, fund administrators, and regulated financial services firms to implement AI safely, defensibly, and at operational scale, without compromising investor trust or regulatory accountability.

Trusted by asset managers, fund administrators, and regulated financial services firms.

"AI is not the threat. Unclear judgment is."

In private markets, errors are not embarrassing. They are material. The risk is not deploying AI. It is deploying it before defining where human judgment must remain.

In this industry, "AI made it up" is not a valid defense.

In private markets, the regulator holds the firm accountable, not the model. Speed is not the currency. Accuracy, auditability, and professional judgment are. Every AI decision carries fiduciary weight.

Investor Trust
LP communications require human authorship and sign-off. One hallucination can erode years of earned credibility.
Material Accuracy
A 1% valuation error is a material misstatement. Secondary verification is not optional.
Regulatory Accountability
The SEC holds the firm accountable, not the AI. Audit trails showing human review are the governance standard.
Where AI Stops
AI identifies patterns. It cannot assess management character, interpret regulatory gray areas, or replace the expertise that defines this industry.

Most AI initiatives fail long before technology becomes the issue.

Across private markets firms, the same patterns emerge.

01
Shadow AI spreading faster than governance
Teams are already using AI on sensitive workflows. Leadership finds out months later, after the data has left the perimeter.
02
Pilots launched without decision ownership
Vendors demo, teams experiment, leadership approves in principle. No one owns the governance layer. The pilot stalls and nothing converts.
03
Compliance reviewing outputs after deployment
Risk and legal are brought in at the end. By then the operating model has already been built around ungoverned AI.
04
Leaders unsure where human judgment must remain
No classification framework exists. Every AI decision is made case-by-case, creating inconsistent risk tolerance across the firm.
05
Expensive tools with no operating model change
Software is purchased before the underlying workflow is understood. The tool does not fail. The process around it does.

Built for organizations where decisions carry fiduciary responsibility.

We partner with leadership teams operating under investor scrutiny, regulatory oversight, and material financial consequence.

Fund Managers & Family Offices
GPs navigating AI adoption across deal, portfolio, and investor relations functions.
Fund Administrators
Service providers looking to adopt AI without exposing client data or degrading accuracy.
Legal, Compliance & Audit Providers
Firms serving private markets clients who need a governed approach in high-stakes workflows.

Practitioner-led. Built from execution, not theory.

Trekka was founded by operators who have worked inside the operational realities of private markets, not around them. We bring 25+ years of institutional experience across fund administration, private equity, real estate, and hedge funds, combined with Big 4 consulting rigor and hands-on AI implementation from startups. Our team has advised hundreds of investment managers on fund operations and has led GenAI implementations specifically designed for private markets workflows, converting unstructured data into governed, audit-ready processes.

We do not stop at strategy recommendations. We work alongside leadership teams to design what human-accountable AI looks like in practice, from governance structures to operating models to sustained organizational capability.
