Built before AI

Juniper Square was designed before AI was part of the idea.

AI is being bolted on now. Emerson was built around it.

Juniper Square
  • Designed over ten years ago, for typing records in
  • AI added on top of a system that was never built for it
  • An interface that cannot keep up with what AI can now do
  • Too big to redesign from the ground up, so it never will be
Emerson
  • Built now, with AI at the centre from the first line
  • The record fills itself in from the conversations you already have
  • One interface designed around what the AI knows
  • New capability reaches you without a migration

The cost of missing context

Test the moments that put trust at risk.

/ 01

The next raise starts with today’s follow-through

An investor update, a question about the deck and a promised call belong to the same relationship. Bring that sequence to the demo and see what the next person on your team can recover.
/ 02

Operational detail should not disappear between teams

The person sending an update needs to know what the partner last said. Show how relationship context moves between business development and operations without a second round of searching.
/ 03

Let each system do its own job

Fund accounting stays where it runs today. Everything around it, the conversations, commitments and follow-up, moves into one record the whole firm can see.
Make the right choice

Choose around the work you cannot drop.

Juniper Square is fund infrastructure. Emerson is the relationship: every investor conversation, promise and follow-up, kept together for the whole firm, alongside the fund accounting you already run.

Questions

Before you switch.

Does Emerson replace fund accounting?

No. Emerson runs the investor relationship and sits alongside the fund accounting and cap table tools you already use.

Does Juniper Square include a CRM?

Yes, an investor CRM inside a fund operations platform. Emerson is built for the relationship itself: every conversation, promise and follow-up across the firm.

How fast can we be running?

Standard setup takes two business days after we confirm the scope and receive the access and files we need. Larger migrations and custom work get an agreed schedule.

Can we get our data out?

Yes, whenever you ask, as a full export in a format you can actually open. Your data is yours. Emerson itself stays ours, so what you would take is the record, not the software.

Bring the last client handoff that was harder than it should have been.
