AI-Driven Portfolio Management Platform Standard Metrics Raises $20M to Supercharge Private Markets Innovation

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Metrics, the AI-driven portfolio management platform for venture capital and private equity, today announced it has raised $20M in Series B funding led by 8VC with participation from Salesforce Ventures, Spark Capital, January Capital, First Trust Capital Partners, Socii Capital, Kindergarten Ventures, Calm Ventures, Gaingels, and more.

Standard Metrics launched in 2020 with a goal of fixing broken investor relations in the private markets. The company launched with a reporting network focused on automating and improving collaboration between investors and their portfolio companies. The product has evolved into a single source of truth for portfolio performance and investment data, providing rich benchmarks and investment insights. Automated data ingestion and AI-driven analysis and reporting tools help VC/PE firms streamline portfolio reviews, valuations, LP reporting, diligence, and more.

Today, AI tailwinds are unlocking unprecedented growth for private companies. Investors, who are operating in an increasingly competitive environment, are demanding next-generation tools that give them greater speed and intelligence. To meet that demand, Standard Metrics has launched AI document parsing, an on-platform AI Analyst, MCP interoperability, and AI-native services to assist with data operations and portfolio analytics.

Standard Metrics has grown its business by approximately 20X since its Series A, and its platform supports more than 10,000 portfolio companies and 150 firms who manage over $400 billion in assets. Thirty percent of the current Forbes Midas List are customers of Standard Metrics.

"Our mission at Standard Metrics is to accelerate innovation in the private markets," said John Melas-Kyriazi, co-founder and CEO of Standard Metrics. "This Series B round is a vote of confidence from investors who believe, as we do, that the firms who embrace AI now will be the ones defining the next era of the private markets."

"We are delighted to deepen our partnership with Standard Metrics, a company that we co-founded in 2020," said Alex Moore, board member at Standard Metrics and Partner at 8VC. "The community of forward-thinking investors and portfolio companies adopting Standard Metrics is impressive, and we see tremendous opportunity ahead for AI to transform the private markets."

Standard Metrics will use this new capital to deepen its AI capabilities, expand its team, and bring its platform to more private market investors and portfolio companies.
