ABOUT DAVID INGRAHAM

I spent 20 years in private equity investing in and managing companies representing $1.5B in enterprise value across $1B+ of transactions. Every deal started the same way: someone buried in Excel, building models, scrubbing data, and praying the formulas were right.When I left PE to build software, I started with Facta, which used AI to deliver financial reporting software and accounting services to investors & SaaS companies. That taught me something important: professionals need the flexibility and auditability of Excel, but want easier and more reliable execution.That\'s why I built HyperPerfect.HyperPerfect embeds Claude and other best-in-class AI models directly inside Microsoft Excel. No context switching, no copy-paste into ChatGPT. You talk to your data in plain English, right where you already work. And because you\'re learning to work with AI incrementally, in real time, it gets exponentially more powerful over time. It\'s built for the data analysts, finance professionals, and others who are relying on Excel for spreadsheet work.If you\'re a professional who wants AI that actually understands your workflow, check out hyperperfect.ai or follow me here. I post about AI in Excel, building general AI workflows, and lessons from two decades of PE investing.Outside of work, I serve as the Board President of Aim High, a Bay Area nonprofit with a 40-year history as a leading summer learning program. We provide free education for almost students a summer, 98% of whom attend a postsecondary education program.
