Rowspace Launches from Stealth with $50M — Former Notion CTO Builds AI 'Nervous System' for Private Equity Portfolio Intelligence
Rowspace emerged from stealth with $50M (seed + Series A co-led by Sequoia and Emergence Capital, with Stripe participation), founded by former Notion CTO Michael Manapat. The AI platform aggregates deal documents, CRM systems, and accounting data to give PE firms managing 'hundreds of billions to almost a trillion dollars' a unified, searchable view of portfolios. Early customers include ~10 top firms with seven-figure ACVs. Critically, Rowspace processes data inside customers' own cloud systems rather than taking possession — a trust architecture designed for regulated finance.
