Compliance
IPEV 2025 by design
Method and selection rules are reflected in the workflow, not in a side document.
Comparison · PE / VC valuation software
The European alternative for valuing your holdings
Jolv is a pure valuation tool, built around the process: IPEV 2025 compliance, immutable audit trail, Freeze & Lock and EU data residency. Not yet another back-office suite.
Comparison by tool category — informational content, not legal or audit advice.
Framework
IPEV 2025
Hosting
European Union
Scope
PE / VC valuation
Audience
EU mid-market funds
The reality
Legacy tools were not built for defensible valuation
Fragile spreadsheets
Multiple versions, broken formulas, no clear lineage from data to NAV.
Overbroad suites
Fund accounting, LP reporting, MIP lifecycle: paying for scope you never use.
Compliance as an attachment
IPEV methodology lives in a separate PDF, not in the workflow.
Opaque hosting
Vague or non-EU data location, hard to justify in due diligence.
Comparison
Jolv vs traditional valuation tools
On the axes that matter to a valuation committee and an auditor.
| Criterion | Jolv | Traditional tools |
|---|---|---|
| IPEV 2025 compliance | Embedded in the workflow, aligned with the 2025 revision | Methodology handled separately, often static |
| Audit trail | Immutable, timestamped, attributable (append-only) | File version history, fragile |
| Freeze & Lock | Native period locking | Re-openable files, no formal freeze |
| Approval workflow | Sign-off circuit built into the product | Emails and signatures outside the tool |
| Data residency | Hosted in the European Union · GDPR | Variable location, sometimes outside the EU |
| Scope | Pure valuation, focused | Heavy mandatory suite (accounting, LP reporting) |
| Data → NAV traceability | Full lineage from assumption to NAV | Assumptions scattered across files |
Why Jolv
The differentiator is the process around valuation
Not another AI: an auditable, traceable framework aligned with IPEV 2025.
Governance
Immutable audit trail & Freeze & Lock
Every change is versioned, timestamped and attributable. Closed periods are locked.
EU hosting
Production data hosted in the EU
Supabase (Frankfurt) and Vercel (Paris); some AI enrichment features rely on providers outside the EU. GDPR-aligned processing, DORA vendor pack on request.
Focus
Pure valuation
A tool dedicated to PE / VC valuation, without imposing a fund-accounting back office.
