qashqade, the leading platform for private markets allocation calculations, has announced the launch of its latest release, version 25.0.0. This milestone introduces a redesigned engine and enhanced user experience that transform how firms access, manage, and calculate allocations across increasingly complex structures.
“Private markets are under pressure to manage growing complexity with speed, accuracy, and transparency,” said Oliver Freigang, CEO of qashqade. “With this release, we give our clients immediate insight, stronger flexibility, and the confidence to adapt to whatever comes next.”
Traditionally, qashqade has been used by accountants and operations teams to calculate waterfalls and produce reports. With Release 25.0.0, the platform now also empowers managers with intuitive, real-time access to fund performance and partner results. What previously required running reports is now available in just one click.
“This release bridges the gap between users who calculate and those who make decisions,” explained Gregor Kreuzer, CPO & Co-founder. “Managers gain immediate transparency without relying on delayed reporting, while operations teams benefit from simplified workflows and automation that reduce risk and errors.”
One of the most significant innovations is the expansion of qashqade’s waterfall engine. It now supports any type of allocation calculation: from fund distributions to GP carry, capital events, share-based waterfalls, and beyond. This universality unlocks entirely new use cases for private markets participants.
At the same time, the release introduces a rebuilt architecture designed for scalability. Complex requirements can now be addressed faster, ensuring qashqade remains adaptable to new market demands.
By combining an enhanced platform with over eight years of dedicated expertise in allocation management, qashqade strengthens its position as the best-of-breed solution.
“Our clients gain two layers of advantage: they can do more, and they can do what they already do better,” said Kreuzer. “They can handle highly complex structures faster and more accurately than competitors relying on spreadsheets, while day-to-day operations become more efficient and transparent.”
Freigang added: “Beyond technology, clients benefit from our unrivaled know-how. Nobody has modeled more waterfalls or read more LPAs than we have. That combination of purpose-built software and deep expertise is a clear differentiator.”
Release 25.0.0 positions qashqade and its clients for the future of private markets. By future-proofing the platform to handle all forms of proceeds-driven allocations, qashqade ensures firms remain prepared for emerging structures and evolving investor demands.
“With this release, we’re not only keeping up with complexity, we’re defining how it should be managed,” said Freigang.
