Purpose-Built for Private Equity in Africa
From PE megafunds to boutique advisory firms, RUNO powers deals of every size.
Africa-Focused PE Funds
You run 15-25 active processes a year across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Ghana. Your associates spend 60% of their time on first-pass document review. RUNO handles the grunt work so your team can focus on finding alpha.
Cut first-pass DD time by 80%. Screen more deals. Deploy faster.
International PE with African Exposure
Your fund is based in London, New York, or Dubai — but your next deal is in Lagos or Nairobi. You don't have a local regulatory team. RUNO bridges the knowledge gap so you can underwrite African deals with confidence.
Access local regulatory intelligence without hiring a local team.
Development Finance Institutions
DFIs operate under rigorous governance standards and complex multi-stakeholder approval processes. RUNO's structured reporting and comprehensive compliance checks align with DFI due diligence requirements.
Institutional-grade DD documentation that meets board requirements.
Mid-Market PE & Search Funds
You don't have a 20-person deal team or a $300K DD budget. You need to screen deals quickly and build a credible IC pack without Big 4 fees. RUNO gives lean teams the firepower of a full-service practice.
Big 4 analytical depth at a fraction of the cost.

“RUNO does not replace your advisors. It replaces the first 200 hours of document review that your advisors charge you $150/hour to do manually. By the time your Big 4 team starts, they’re working from a structured, classified, and flagged data set — not a raw data room.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Click any question to see the answer
No. RUNO accelerates the first-pass analysis phase of due diligence. Instead of your deal team spending 2-3 weeks manually reviewing data room documents, RUNO does it in minutes. The output is a structured, classified, and flagged dataset that your advisors use as their starting point. Your advisors spend their time on judgment-intensive work — not document triage. The result: faster timelines, lower advisory fees, and better-informed investment decisions.
RUNO provides deep regulatory compliance coverage for the four largest PE markets in Africa: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Ghana. For these jurisdictions, we maintain detailed compliance checklists covering corporate registrations, tax filings, sector-specific licenses, competition authority requirements, and foreign investment approvals. Beyond these four core markets, RUNO provides baseline screening for all 54 African jurisdictions, including Mauritius, Egypt, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Senegal.
RUNO applies the same foundational methodology: EBITDA normalization, one-off identification, revenue quality assessment, working capital analysis, and management adjustment reconciliation. A Big 4 QoE takes 4-8 weeks and costs $150K-$350K. RUNO generates a first-pass QoE in hours at a fraction of that cost. RUNO's QoE is a screening tool — designed to help you identify issues early, prioritize advisors' time, and make faster go/no-go decisions. For deals that proceed, the RUNO QoE serves as the foundation your advisory team refines.
Yes — white-label report branding is available on the Enterprise tier ($1,999/month). You can apply your fund's logo, color scheme, and custom formatting to all 28 report templates, including IC Memos, QoE bridges, and DD summaries. Reports exported from RUNO look like they were produced by your team, not by a third-party platform. Professional tier users receive RUNO-branded reports.
Deal confidentiality is foundational to our platform. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Each deal workspace is logically isolated — there is no cross-deal data leakage. We do not use your deal data to train our models. We do not share your data with other users. Our infrastructure runs on SOC 2 Type II certified cloud providers, and we offer private cloud or on-premise deployment for Enterprise and Institutional clients.
Yes. While our regulatory compliance engine is purpose-built for African markets — which is our core differentiator — the document classification, QoE analysis, valuation suite, and reporting modules work for deals in any geography. Several clients use RUNO for their entire global deal pipeline, leveraging the African compliance modules for continent-specific transactions and the core DD modules for everything else.
