Filter by product type
01

Board platforms

Portals and meeting systems that organise papers, collaboration, approvals and the formal board process.

11 companies
Board platform#5 overall

Diligent

The broadest governance software suite in the market, spanning board management, entities, risk, audit and compliance.

Momentum84
0Leading100
The market leader has assembled an unusually broad suite. The hard question is whether customers experience one coherent product or a collection of acquired products under one brand.

OnBoard

A polished board-management platform focused on meeting preparation, collaboration and governance workflows.

Momentum76
0Advancing100
Polished and well reviewed, with a broad workflow set. Its AI suite is becoming substantial, though the marketing still runs ahead of proof that it improves the board's judgment.

Board platform#11 overall

BoardPro

Straightforward board-management software aimed at small and mid-sized organisations.

Momentum72
0Advancing100
A practical product with unusually strong user sentiment. It wins on simplicity and value, while limited customization and integrations set a clear ceiling for larger organisations.

Board platform#14 overall

Convene

A broad meeting and board-management platform from Azeus, with a strong international and public-sector footprint.

Momentum67
0Advancing100
A capable meeting system whose durable value lies in secure process and distribution. AI must move beyond meeting efficiency to alter its strategic position.

Board platform#15 overall

Nasdaq Boardvantage

An enterprise board portal embedded in Nasdaq's wider governance and market-services proposition.

Momentum65
0Advancing100
A dependable enterprise portal with Nasdaq distribution and credible controls. It looks safer than it looks exciting, which is often exactly what large boards are buying.
View profile
Board platform#15 overall

Sherpany

European meeting-management software focused on leadership meetings, preparation and execution rather than only formal board packs.

Momentum65
0Advancing100
A broader meeting proposition than a classic board portal. That breadth is useful, though it also places Sherpany in a crowded market where workflow claims are easy to copy.

Board platform#17 overall

TeamEngine

A Nordic board portal and collaboration product acquired by Board Intelligence shortly after K1's investment.

Momentum62
0Holding100
Most strategically interesting as a piece of the emerging Board Intelligence roll-up rather than as a standalone thesis.
View profile
Board platform#18 overall

BoardEffect

A Diligent board-management product with strong roots in mission-driven organisations, healthcare and nonprofits.

Momentum61
0Holding100
A useful vertical product for mission-driven organisations. Its identity is increasingly tied to Diligent One, so buyers should judge the parent platform and packaging as carefully as the portal itself.
View profile
Board platform#23 overall

Admincontrol

A Nordic board portal and data-room product focused on controlled collaboration and transaction-sensitive information.

Momentum50
0Holding100
Secure and well placed in high-trust workflows, but the strategic centre of gravity remains access and control rather than reasoning.
View profile
Board platform#23 overall

Govenda

Board-management software positioned around board engagement, collaboration and governance outcomes.

Momentum50
0Holding100
A competent portal with positive support feedback. The grander 'board success' language is much less differentiated than the underlying meeting and document product.
View profile
Board platform#25 overall

iBabs

Board and meeting-management software with a significant European public-sector and enterprise presence.

Momentum48
0Lagging100
Useful, mature and embedded in European public-sector workflows. The product looks operationally dependable, but public evidence of distinctive innovation is limited.
View profile
02

Board effectiveness tools

Products focused on better papers, preparation, minutes, challenge and decision quality rather than portal administration alone.

3 companies
Board effectiveness tools#4 overall

Board Intelligence

Board effectiveness software and services that extend beyond portal administration into report quality, preparation, minutes and board decision support.

Momentum86
0Leading100
A distinctive board effectiveness proposition with strong service and workflow roots. Its newer AI claims are ambitious, but the evidence standard rises sharply once software claims it can challenge directors.
View profile
Board effectiveness tools#25 overall

Hippoly

An emerging Swedish AI product focused on helping leaders and directors work through complex material and make better decisions.

Momentum48
0Lagging100
An interesting focused product with a thin public evidence base. Until there is clearer customer proof, it should be treated as a promising tool rather than a market signal.
View profile
Board effectiveness tools#27 overall

GovernIQ

An emerging UK board AI product positioned around reviewing materials, surfacing gaps and generating sharper questions before meetings.

Momentum46
0Lagging100
A sharp proposition built around reviewing papers and improving questions. Public material does not yet show a moat, meaningful scale or enough live product evidence to justify the confidence of the pitch.

03

Sector-specific governance

Products that encode the rules, roles, records and workflows of a particular governance environment.

5 companies
Sector-specific governance#13 overall

BoardOnTrack

Governance management software built for US public and charter school boards.

Momentum68
0Advancing100
One of the clearest examples of sector knowledge becoming product. Open-meeting compliance, superintendent evaluation, board performance and trustee recruitment make it more than a school-branded portal. The design looks dated, but the workflow depth is real.
View profile
Sector-specific governance#18 overall

Simbli

Board governance software developed by the Georgia School Boards Association, with deep roots in public education.

Momentum61
0Holding100
Simbli has more sector substance than polish. Meetings, policies, planning, evaluation and public communication sit in one suite, shaped by decades around school boards. The weakness is not relevance. It is whether the product experience and pace of development match newer competitors.

Sector-specific governance#20 overall

CivicPlus Agenda and Meeting Management

Agenda, meeting and public-record software designed around municipal clerks and local government.

Momentum58
0Holding100
Serious public-sector infrastructure rather than glamorous board software. Its advantage is the unglamorous detail: agenda production, resident access, records and links to wider municipal systems. It belongs on the map because public governance is a different operating environment, not because CivicPlus tells an AI story.

Sector-specific governance#21 overall

GoLocal

An emerging workspace for onboarding and operating local government boards and commissions.

Momentum55
0Holding100
A narrow problem chosen well. GoLocal addresses the neglected work around appointee onboarding, ethics, training and continuity across many public boards. The proposition is credible; the public evidence of scale, repeat use and product maturity is not there yet.
View profile
Sector-specific governance#22 overall

Bordinal

Board and committee governance software built for membership associations and volunteer leaders.

Momentum52
0Holding100
Bordinal understands that association governance is tied to committees, membership systems, elections and volunteer time. That is a sharper starting point than another generic board portal. It is also a young product with little independent evidence, so the category fit is clearer than the market standing.

Governance systems

Entity, risk, reporting, compliance and evidence systems that sit underneath board oversight.

5 companies
Governance system#6 overall

AuditBoard

Enterprise audit, risk, compliance and controls software with a large operational evidence base.

Momentum82
0Leading100
A strong audit and risk platform with enough operational depth to matter. Its board relevance comes from the quality of the evidence it produces, not from boardroom branding.
View profile
Governance system#7 overall

Workiva

A connected reporting, controls and compliance platform used for high-stakes financial, sustainability and regulatory work.

Momentum78
0Advancing100
Deeply embedded in high-stakes reporting and controls. It is a serious platform, though its breadth can also mean complexity, implementation effort and a product experience shaped around specialists.
View profile
Governance system#9 overall

Ideagen

A broad regulatory, risk, quality and compliance software group backed by Hg.

Momentum74
0Advancing100
A classic consolidation platform built on recurring regulated workflows, fragmented product categories and durable systems of record. Its AI opportunity lies in unifying the acquired evidence. Adding an assistant to each product would not be enough.
View profile
Governance system#10 overall

Athennian

Cloud entity-management software designed to create a structured record of subsidiaries, ownership and corporate actions.

Momentum73
0Advancing100
Structured entity records are operationally important and hard to maintain well. Athennian's value depends on data quality and workflow depth, not on how fashionable the interface looks.

OneTrust

A broad privacy, risk, data and AI-governance platform built around enterprise policies, assessments and controls.

Momentum72
0Advancing100
Boards need controls around AI use as well as useful AI tools. OneTrust matters here. Its challenge is turning those controls into useful director-level context without creating more compliance administration.

General AI interfaces

General AI products being used for research, analysis and document work around formal governance systems.

3 companies
General AI interface#1 overall

ChatGPT

A general-purpose AI interface increasingly used for research, analysis, document work and connected workflows.

Momentum92
0Leading100
Powerful, familiar and already used for document work. For formal board use, convenience still collides with permissions, retention, confidentiality and uneven organisational policy.
View profile
General AI interface#2 overall

Claude

A general-purpose AI assistant with strong long-document analysis and enterprise use cases.

Momentum91
0Leading100
Excellent at reading and interrogating long material. The governance case remains conditional on approved access, traceable evidence and controls that exist outside the quality of the model itself.

General AI interface#3 overall

Microsoft 365 Copilot

AI embedded across the Microsoft work environment, with a natural route into the documents, meetings and communications around board work.

Momentum88
0Leading100
Distribution is its major advantage. It may become the default enterprise interface even where a specialist tool contains better governance context.
