Ethos Capital's 'Petra' agent runs the first pass on every deal
Boston PE firm Ethos Capital spent about five years building Petra, an assistant trained on 50,000+ sources including every deck the firm has done or passed on. It scores each pitch, flags risks and rates management, compressing a two-to-four-week first look to about 30 minutes for a deal team of a handful of people.
