AI in Action at Women in Private Markets

Private markets has been talking about AI for years. On 8 June 2026, at the Women in Private Markets Summit: North America, that conversation gave way to something more concrete.

Putting AI to Work

Taiyo.AI's AI in Action Pitches brought practitioners directly to the stage, each sharing deployable applications drawn from their own work. The sessions spanned the breadth of private markets: client success and strategic solutions, real assets, data intelligence, and portfolio use cases. The goal was not to survey what AI might do someday; it was to show what firms are already doing with it.

The format was built around accountability. Audience questions drove the conversation, pressing each presenter on what is working in practice, what still warrants scrutiny, and where the genuine risks sit as firms move from experimentation to implementation.

The Presenting Cohort

The practitioners who took the stage brought a wide range of perspectives and mandates. Monique Malcolm-Hay of Rethink Capital Partners, Stephanie Song of F2, Rebecca Darcy of InvestorFlow, Sara Hollander of MONTICELLOAM, and Emilia Sherifova of LegionX each presented alongside Saurabh Mishra, Founder and CEO of Taiyo.AI. Taken together, they represented a cross-section of where AI adoption is actually happening in private markets today.

A Maturing Conversation

The shift from AI as a topic to AI as a use case is not cosmetic. It reflects a genuine change in how the industry is choosing to spend its time at events like this: less on potential, more on implementation. The questions that practitioners ask from the floor, about what actually works, where the risks sit, and what real deployment looks like, are exactly the questions Taiyo.AI is built to help answer.

The WIPM NA 2026 session made one thing clear: private markets practitioners are ready to move faster than the industry conversation has given them credit for. Taiyo.AI will be part of what comes next.
