NY @Techweek_ is one week out and Raylu is throwing our first hackathon!

Most hackathons are judged by engineers. Ours is judged by the partners actually writing checks.

Top 6 demo live June 3 in Soho.

Prizes: MacBook, $1K Anthropic credits, and more.

Recently joined the Seed Money Podcast w/ Jayla Siciliano to talk about the early days of building Raylu.

Before Raylu, I spent years at Insight Partners watching how the best investors navigate fast-moving markets - and where the gaps were.

How do you evaluate 10,000 deals a year? Spoiler: Humans aren’t built for it.

Let’s face it: the average PE firm is drowning in deal flow.
A medium-sized fund will likely evaluate 3,000 deals annually.
Larger funds with multiple verticals? Try 10,000+.

Here’s the challenge:
• Each deal comes with an 80-page CIM, a multi-sheet Excel workbook, and layers of context you need to evaluate.
• No matter how brilliant your analysts are, triaging thousands of deals quickly—and deeply—is impossible.
• Hidden gems get overlooked. Context across competitors gets missed. And opportunities to back the best in a market? Lost in the shuffle.

This is where AI fundamentally changes the game.

AI can analyze massive volumes of information faster than humans ever could.
• It doesn’t need to be 100% accurate (we’re talking about triage, not final investment decisions).
• It flags the right deals for further diligence.
• And it works seamlessly with analysts, creating summaries and reports that are ready for partner review.

The result? Analysts focus on the deals that matter, while AI accelerates the rest.

PE firms that leverage AI are building an edge—and those that don’t? Risk falling behind.

Curious about how this works in practice? Tune into my webinar, where I’ll dive into how AI is reshaping the PE/VC landscape: https://t.co/Y09laDEjjp.

How Private Equity Investors Are Already Crushing Their AI Goals for 2025: AI is no longer just a buzzword—it’s rapidly becoming a strategic advantage for
#PrivateEquity investors, with many expecting significant value in the new year. Over the past three years, I’ve spoken with leaders ranging from AI task forces to CTOs, and it’s clear that AI is now a top priority for nearly every PE fund.

This reality makes PE ripe for disruption. The firms that effectively deploy AI to extract and leverage the insights buried in thousands of documents—covering deal flow, portfolio performance, and industry data—will outpace those that ignore it. In an industry built on information, AI-driven intelligence is the new competitive edge.

Discover how AI helps parse massive amounts of data, uncover hidden gems, and identify the most promising opportunities in my webinar, where I discuss AI’s critical role in the PE space: https://t.co/Y09laDEjjp.
