About

The most valuable thing an analyst can do in a deal is walk a factory floor, push back on a founder, or sense when the numbers don't match the room. AI can't do that. But it can eliminate bulk of the work that happens before that conversation — the research, the synthesis, the screening, the drafting. And when it does, something interesting happens: deal teams stop drowning in prep and start making better calls, faster. That's the thesis I build around.
