The Knowledge Crisis

Across the $163T+ global knowledge economy — spanning consulting, wealth management, investment banking, private equity, and venture capital — knowledge workers spend 40% of their time searching for information. This isn't just inefficiency; it's a fundamental crisis of institutional memory.

When senior partners leave investment banks, decades of client relationships disappear. When analysts join consulting firms, they spend months learning what should be instantly accessible. When wealth managers change firms, $145.4 trillion in assets under management depends on recreating knowledge from scratch.

The knowledge economy is hemorrhaging expertise at unprecedented scale.

Our Thesis

The transformation from information hunting to instant expertise isn't just possible — it's inevitable. Meridian introduces AI agents that capture, preserve, and deliver institutional knowledge in real-time, transforming organizations from knowledge-fragile to knowledge-resilient.

Just as Palantir transformed intelligence from static reports to living operational platforms, Meridian is doing the same for institutional knowledge across all knowledge-intensive industries.

The AI Agent Revolution

Institutional Memory Preservation: Capture decades of expertise before it walks out the door.

Instant Expertise Access: Transform 6-month onboarding into day-one productivity.

Continuous Knowledge Capture: Learn from every meeting, document, and interaction.

Cross-Functional Intelligence: Break down knowledge silos across teams and geographies.

The New Paradigm

For organizations, this represents a fundamental shift: instead of accepting knowledge loss as inevitable, they can preserve and amplify institutional memory through AI agents. Instead of spending months training new hires, they can provide instant access to expert-level insights.

For the knowledge economy, it transforms expertise from a scarce, human-dependent resource into an accessible, scalable strategic asset.

The Massive Opportunity

The numbers are staggering:

- $145.4T in global assets under management (PwC, 2025)

- $2.78T in investment banking deals (+29% growth)

- $14.34T in private market assets

- $1.3T in consulting services

Even capturing a fraction of the efficiency gains across this knowledge economy represents an unprecedented opportunity. Traditional firms are constrained by human capital — they can only grow as fast as they can hire and train experts. Meridian's AI-native approach removes this constraint entirely.

Why Now?

Four converging forces make this the perfect moment for transformation:

1. AI Sophistication: LLMs can now understand complex professional contexts and provide expert-level insights.

2. Digital Infrastructure: Every business system has APIs, enabling comprehensive knowledge capture and integration.

3. Economic Pressure: Rising costs and competition are forcing organizations to maximize knowledge efficiency.

4. Market Scale: The knowledge economy has reached unprecedented size, making even small efficiency gains enormously valuable.

The Future of Knowledge Work

We envision a world where institutional knowledge never dies. Where every organization has permanent access to the accumulated wisdom of every expert who ever worked there. Where new hires have instant access to decades of institutional memory.

This isn't about replacing knowledge workers — it's about amplifying human expertise and ensuring it survives and thrives across generations of professionals.

Welcome to the knowledge-resilient future. Welcome to Meridian.
