Investment Café is an independent company offering a suite of web-based financial reporting and fundraising products to the alternative asset community. With offices in New York, Hong Kong, Chicago, Florida, and India, Investment Café serves firms managing over $150 billion in capital commitments with over 46,000 investors in more than 120 countries.

Our flagship product, the Investment Café Reporting System, is a system of choice for many of the world's largest alternative asset firms, as well as leading middle market firms, as it addresses the unique needs of the investor, and provides tools that significantly reduce the burden of fund administration.

In addition to serving the private equity industry, Investment Café also offers its reporting systems within the alternative investment arena to real estate, venture, mezzanine, debt, hedge funds, fund-of-funds and fundless sponsors.

Investment Café was the former technology arm for DML Fund Services, a large fund administrator to the alternative investment industry. Founded in 2001, Investment Café saw firsthand the inefficiencies of fund administration.

Tasked to dramatically improve efficiencies, we were asked to experience the mundane and often repetitive tasks of administration - participating in envelope-stuffing parties late at night in the conference room; sitting side-by-side with employees as they field a request from an investor on a Friday at 5:00 p.m. for historical information; feeling the temperature of the room elevate when the deal team revises the already approved capital call notice at 8:00 p.m.; standing in front of the fax machine and wonder whether or not the investor received the information; auditors making another edit to the annual financials.

The inefficiencies, the fire drills, the hurdles and speed bumps all in the name of fund administration - we knew life could be much better for the accounting and administration staff if there were better tools and processes. Investment Café responded and built a premier reporting and fundraising system.

Thanks to Investment Café, sponsors from around the globe now have the tools that reflect the brightest minds and most efficient operations available. In fact, many sponsors have commented that Investment Café is the only firm that understands the real needs of the accounting and administration staff.
