Case Study: Carlyle gains deeper investment diligence insights with SESAMm’s NLP alternative data

Carlyle leverages SESAMm’s alternative data for a $475 million investment in YipitData

Carlyle used SESAMm’s Natural Language Processing and TextReveal® platform as part of its diligence process for a $475 million Series E investment in YipitData. The challenge was to better assess YipitData’s market position, growth prospects, and risk profile using large-scale alternative data.

SESAMm analyzed more than 17 billion web articles and messages to provide industry-level trends, competitive insights, and risk analytics. The solution helped Carlyle confirm YipitData’s leading position across industries and geographies, while also indicating very low risk from social discussions, forums, and dark web content, giving the deal team greater confidence in the investment decision.
