Like hiring an associate: how Costanoa cut days off every DDQ
- Days cut from every DDQ response cycle
- Materials that stay current without manual coordination
- A centralized knowledge base that gets more accurate with every DDQ
For Costanoa, keeping up with institutional LP diligence requests was a manual, time-consuming process. The lean team tracked DDQ answers across multiple touchpoints, and whenever information changed, they had to manually update the data room. That extra layer of oversight pulled focus from the fundraise itself.
With Juniper Square's DDQ app, the team has cut days off their turnaround time. AI-powered first drafts—with approved answers pulled from a centralized knowledge base—and connected data rooms keep materials current without the manual coordination that had previously slowed the team down.
"Having JunieAI fill in our DDQs is like hiring a super admin or associate. Takes days off our response time and frees us up to do other, more critical things to get the fundraise done."

The outcome is a more focused IR function. With diligence workflows centralized and automated, Costanoa spends less time on administrative follow-through and more time on the relationship-building work that moves a fundraise forward.
