As a holistic, one-to-many document platform, Prism solves the distinct needs of investment banks, advisory firms, private market investors, and companies by providing a secure way to share and collaborate on sensitive content across multiple use-cases: fundraising, mergers & acquisitions, IPOs, and other capital transactions, as well as internal workflows such as audit reporting, legal & risk management, and contract execution.
