OffDeal is a New York-based, AI-native investment bank that helps small business owners sell their companies and assists buyers with proprietary deal origination. It leverages custom-built proprietary AI technology and years of Wall Street experience to attract a high number of buyers and maximize sale prices. The company offers sell-side services to help founders realize full value, buy-side services for add-on acquisitions, and comprehensive market mapping and market research to support due diligence and portfolio value creation. OffDeal is led by Ori Eldarov and Alston Lin. The company plans to use the new funding to expand operations and broaden its business reach. To date OffDeal has raised $17M in total funding, including the recent Series A. OffDeal uses AI agents to automate the research and sourcing work of traditional investment banks, then pairs those AI outputs with human advisers who run exits for small businesses. Customers interact only with human advisers while the company’s software scrapes company websites, produces buyer lists and creates pitch materials. The startup has built a database of 2 million U.S. small businesses and demonstrated an agent that produced 150 eligible buyers for a target in a demo. OffDeal says it is under contract with nine institutional buyers and has over 250 buyers on a waitlist. The company charges between 5% and 10% of transaction value, mirroring traditional investment bank fees. It plans to use recent funding to hire more advisers and invest in marketing while continuing to rely on GPT-4 models for its agent work; OffDeal is part of Y Combinator’s Winter 2024 batch.
