Leverest x Ontra: every financing starts with dozens of NDAs. Now they move faster.

Leverest and Ontra, the leader in AI-native services for the private markets, have partnered to bring speed, consistency and cost control to one of the most repetitive steps in every financing. The result: faster financings.

How the partnership works

Leverest will surface Ontra to lenders, sponsors and advisors running deals across its network, right when NDAs threaten to slow a deal down.

Handoff is simplified: Leverest users invite Ontra straight into the deal, and Ontra’s team takes NDAs from there, with full visibility and transparency for everyone in the deal room.

What changes on Leverest

On Leverest, all involved parties collaborate in one place and have live access, including via our mobile app. Everyone can easily follow the different negotiation loops an NDA goes through.

• No more email chains: no need to send out 20 emails with an NDA attached.
• Direct counsel assignment: lenders assign their NDA counsel (e.g. Ontra) directly via the platform.
• Drag-and-drop feedback: feedback is dropped straight into the platform, with no further emails needed.
• Live status: the platform automatically shows whether a to-do is still open or the NDA has been accepted.
• Competitive edge: in competitive bidding situations, these time savings can be decisive.

Depending on the size of a transaction, 10 to 100 hours can be saved across all sides (lenders, advisors, investors, counsel).

An open platform

Leverest is an open system designed to run financing workflows end-to-end, and parties can easily onboard their service providers of choice. With the Ontra partnership, we bring added efficiency to shared clients.

This reflects how we approach partnerships in general. For example, we were nominated a top 3 integration partner of Intapp DealCloud, where we connect our platform with their CRM to add value to our combined customers.
