Demeter (W25) is an AI back office solution for private investment firms. Starting with portfolio management, Demeter automates performance tracking, benchmarking, and return analysis to provide insights in minutes.
Current back-office workflows at private investment firms are often fragmented, manual, and inefficient, leading to data silos and delays. Demeter is starting with the challenges around portfolio management as the majority of these firms still rely on manual data entry (primarily through spreadsheets) for tracking investments, which is not only time-consuming but also introduces a 40% higher likelihood of errors compared to automated systems. This inefficiency reduces focus on strategic activities like identifying new investment opportunities or optimizing asset allocation.
Founded by Qiaochu Li and Dev Jain, Demeter believes investment firms deserve a better solution: an affordable, automated platform that seamlessly integrates data, eliminates manual workflows, and empowers investors to focus on what matters—growing and preserving capital.
Qiaochu spent 2 years in private equity, where she directly experienced the headaches related to portfolio management and reporting on a daily basis. Dev was a SWE at Curri (S19) for 2.5 years, where he built and shipped a mission-critical optimization platform.
Congrats to the team on the launch!

During my time in private equity, I couldn’t help but feel the inefficiencies—manual processes, scattered data, and the constant struggle to extract insights quickly. I was fortunate to work with some of the best, but even great people can be held back by outdated tools. Why do developers get all the cool new tech, but private equity back offices are stuck with legacy systems?
Now, with the support of Y Combinator, Dev Jain and I are working on a startup to change this. The goal? To remove the friction I once felt, enabling teams to focus on insights rather than data wrangling.
Today, we’re launching Demeter (W25)—an AI back office solution for private investors. Our first product is a portfolio management platform to automate performance tracking, benchmarking, and return analysis.
If you are (or know) someone who’s struggled with portfolio monitoring, we would love to show you what we’re building. You can reach us at qiaochu@joindemeter.com
Thank you to Gustaf Alströmer 🇺🇦 for your support along the way. Y Combinator
