Overview
Standard Metrics is a San Francisco company that sells portfolio-management software to VC and PE firms: data collection from portfolio companies, document parsing, valuations support, LP reporting, and AI analysis. CEO John Melas-Kyriazi founded the company in 2020. On August 24, 2026 it announced a $20 million Series B led by 8VC, with participation from Salesforce Ventures, Spark Capital, January Capital, First Trust Capital Partners, Socii Capital, Kindergarten Ventures, Calm Ventures, and Gaingels. The company says cumulative capital is about $50 million, most of it from customers, and that the business has grown approximately 20x since Series A. Operating claims on that post: more than 150 investment firms, more than $400 billion of AUM on the platform, more than 10,000 portfolio companies, and 30% of the current Forbes Midas List as customers. The PR names General Catalyst, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Accel as users. Valuation and revenue were not disclosed. 8VC, Spark, General Catalyst, and Bessemer have /fund/ pages here; Salesforce Ventures, January Capital, and Accel do not.

Competitive landscape
Edge: A disclosed Series B led by a directory fund (8VC) plus a company claim that most historical capital came from the GPs who are also users. That is a customer-funded software signal, not a mark.
Standard Metrics is a Series B bet that GP back offices will pay for an AI-native ledger. Diligence is ARR, retention, and whether customer-investors distort the round — not PitchBook’s teaser page.

Market-data terminal. Ranks for the brand query with a gated funding profile. Does not sell the GP’s internal reporting stack.

The analog stack Standard Metrics says it replaces. Company claim, not a measured market share.
Notable stories
- The Series B post says most of ~$50M raised to date came from customers. Do not describe 8VC as the first institutional check without a cap-table source.
