Leading Technology.
Intuitive Solutions.
Expert Team.
Data in. Value out.
Cobalt, a FactSet Company, was founded in 2011 by a team of industry insiders and technology visionaries who wanted to create a better, more efficient way for fund managers to act on the information driving their businesses. In 2016, Hamilton Lane joined in our mission, and together we developed Cobalt for fund managers.
Since then, Cobalt’s industry-leading technology has been deployed to more than 100 firms, across a wide range of investment strategies including venture, buyout, growth equity, infrastructure, energy, real estate, credit, fund of funds and more. We also partner with other industry solution providers, consulting firms, fund administrators and auditors, to ensure that our platform can fully integrate into a firm’s broader technology stack.

Technology to help you get down to business.
Connected, flowing data and analytics means everyone can get to work.

The technology making that happen must be intuitive so that you spend less time on burdensome (but critical) administrative duties, and focus on the value-add work of analysis and strategic planning.

It’s not the best use of my time to be a spreadsheet jockey.”
We couldn’t put it better ourselves. That’s why Cobalt’s platform allows you to slice and dice your metrics in the same platform that houses and helps you report on them. Critical dashboard capabilities provide a snapshot of your portfolio in one comprehensive view.
And since Excel isn’t going away any time soon, we have a plug-in built to help you automate ILPA template use, valuation modeling, financial statement development, and various reporting needs.
Solutions start (and end) with people.
We’ve invested in hiring and developing the industry’s top talent, all of whom are dedicated to our clients first. We are hyper-responsive, thoughtful, and constantly looking for ways to ensure our platform is that much smarter (and easier) for you to get value from.
