Keiretsu Forum, a global investment community of accredited private equity investors, venture capitalists, and corporate/institutional investors, sought to establish a new chapter to expand their network. With over 3,000 members who have invested more than $1 billion in 2,400+ companies, Keiretsu Forum required an internal business plan to gain approval and support from management for the new chapter location.
Challenge
Preparing a professional report for management approval quickly posed a significant challenge for Keiretsu Forum. The organization needed a solution that could deliver high-quality, customized content tailored to their specific needs, as other AI tools failed to meet their strict quality standards or provided only generic outputs.
Moreover, Keiretsu Forum faced difficulties in creating an accurate budget and monetization plan for the new chapter due to the lack of comparable data. This made it challenging to forecast margins, expenses, and overall financial performance, which was crucial for obtaining management approval.
Solution
To overcome these challenges, Keiretsu Forum collaborated with ProAI, an AI-powered platform designed to generate professional-grade business plans and financial projections. By providing information about the company and the new chapter location, Keiretsu Forum worked with ProAI to identify regional competitors, gather relevant market data, and determine the most suitable products/services to offer along with appropriate pricing strategies.
ProAI’s advanced algorithms and extensive databases enabled the creation of a comprehensive budget and financial forecast based on data from similar communities, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the projections. The platform’s seamless integration with Google Docs and Excel allowed Keiretsu Forum to easily export and refine the generated content before submitting it to management for approval.
Impact
With the help of ProAI, Keiretsu Forum successfully launched its new chapter in North Texas in August 2023. The organization’s founder and president, Randy Williams, expressed his excitement about bringing their innovative early-stage investing model and exceptional deal flow to the region.
By leveraging AI technology, Keiretsu Forum streamlined its expansion planning process, saving valuable time and resources while ensuring the highest quality standards for their internal business plan. This approach enabled the organization to make data-driven decisions and secure management approval more efficiently, ultimately facilitating the successful establishment of the new chapter.
