Our Story

In 2016, Hamilton Lane, a global private markets asset management firm with more than 28 years of experience, together with Bison, a cutting-edge software solutions firm, brought Cobalt to the market. This unique partnership created a leading private markets platform with a robust product suite of solutions for both GPs and LPs.

In 2020, Hamilton Lane wholly acquired the Cobalt LP business from Bison, fully bringing the limited partner product in house. Hamilton Lane continues to enhance capabilities and drive the Cobalt LP vision forward by delivering data, analysis, reporting, and diligence solutions to limited partners.
