Chronograph Joins International Valuation Standards Council to Advance Best Practices in Private Capital Valuations

Chronograph, a provider of next-generation portfolio monitoring, valuations, and analytics technology for private capital markets, today announced its membership in the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), reinforcing its commitment to advancing valuation standards and best practices across the global private capital ecosystem.

The IVSC membership represents a natural alignment between Chronograph’s mission to deliver rigorous, technology-driven valuation solutions and IVSC’s objective to enhance the quality and credibility of valuation practices worldwide. With Chronograph currently supporting over $1 trillion in aggregate valuation marks on its platform every quarter across 8 of the 10 largest private capital GPs globally, this partnership underscores the critical role of technology in achieving IVS compliance at scale.

As part of its IVSC membership, Chronograph will actively participate in standards development, contribute technology perspectives to advance IVS guidance, and collaborate with valuation professionals globally to ensure its solutions continue evolving in alignment with emerging best practices. The company has also strengthened its valuation expertise by bringing on Sean Thomson, former IVSC Technical Manager and valuation specialist from Houlihan Lokey and KPMG, as Product Manager for Valuations.

Charlie Tafoya, CEO and Co-Founder of Chronograph commented, “We are pleased to be joining the IVSC and contributing to the broader conversation on valuations. Our team has experienced many of the challenges facing valuation professionals firsthand, from differing standards to inefficient, manual workflows that compromise valuation quality. This membership enables us to deepen our contribution to the valuation profession while offering new technology-driven solutions for IVS-aligned approaches in private markets.”

Chronograph will leverage its IVSC membership to enhance client education and training, contribute to thought leadership initiatives, and participate in Investor Forums to gather direct market feedback. With a client base representing over $4.3 trillion in invested capital across 13,000 unique funds and 225,000 private companies, Chronograph is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between traditional valuation principles and innovative technology applications that drive modern valuation workflows.
