Blaze Live Profile standardizes and streamlines the response process for common diligence questions. Instead of asking a manager to fill out the same firm and fund details in every new project, you can pull that information directly from a live profile that the manager maintains and publishes on their own.
As a requestor, Blaze Live Profile helps you:
- Reduce duplication by relying on data the manager has already published, instead of requesting it again in a new project
- Get real-time updates whenever the manager publishes new figures
- See exactly when data was last published, and who published it
- Send a quick nudge to the manager when published data looks out of date
Opening the Blaze Live Profile for an Entity
Navigation path
From the entity's Monitor page, click Open Blaze Live Profile in the top right corner.
Firm Monitor page for an entity with an existing profile, showing the Open Blaze Live Profile button
This opens the Blaze Live Data page for that entity, showing the structured responses the manager has published. These fields are read-only, since they are populated and updated directly by the manager.
If a Blaze Live Profile has not yet been shared for that entity, the same button instead reads Request Blaze Live Profile, with an info icon next to it. Clicking it sends a request to the manager rather than opening any data, since none has been shared yet.

Understanding the Data on the Blaze Live Data Page
The Blaze Live Data page shows the manager's answers to the firm and fund questions included in their profile, such as legal name, AUM, ownership, key persons, service providers, and track record.
Not all of these answers are shown as tables. Most are simple text answers, some are Yes/No or date fields, and only certain data points, such as AUM and Track Record figures or questions that ask for a list of people or entries, are shown as structured tables.
- The header of the page shows an overall publish count for the entity, for example 32/66 Published, along with the date data was last published.
- Each individual answer also shows its own timestamp underneath, for example Last published on Sep 10, 2026 at 1:51 PM.
- If the manager has not published a response for a question yet, the field shows No response available, data pending from the responder.
- If the published data looks outdated, click Request Data Update near the top of the page to send a reminder to the manager.

Viewing All Blaze Live Profiles
Navigation path
From the left navigation panel, go to Diligence > Blaze Live Profile.
This opens the Blaze Live Profile tab, which lists every entity that has shared a profile with you. For each entity, you can see the entity type (Firm, Product, Strategy, or Vehicle), its relationship status with your firm if one is tracked, how many data points have been shared, and when the profile was last published and last reminded. If a manager has not published anything yet, the entity shows as No data.
Blaze Live Profile tab listing entities with Entity Type, Relationship Status, # Data Received, Last Published On, and Request Data Update actions
- Click Request Data Update next to an individual entity to send that manager a reminder.
- Click Request Data Update for All near the top right of the page to send reminders across multiple profiles at once.
Requesting a New Blaze Live Profile
If an entity has not yet shared a Blaze Live Profile with you, you can request one either from the Request New Profile tab or directly from that entity's Monitor page, as shown earlier.
Steps
- From the Blaze Live Profile page, click the Request New Profile tab. This tab lists entities where a profile has not yet been shared with you.
- Locate the entity, or use the Entity Name search box to find it.
- Click Request Blaze Live Profile next to that entity.
Once a profile has been requested, the entity's row updates to show the date it was last requested and who requested it, and the action changes to Send Reminder so you can follow up if the manager has not yet responded.
