AI-Powered Investment Banking

Goldman-grade M&A advisory for startup deals under $100M

Pontis is an AI investment banker that handles deal sourcing, valuation, due diligence, and buyer matching. Built for founders who built something worth selling.

The Problem

Every year, thousands of startups sell for under $100M with no real advisory. The best bankers chase billion-dollar deals. Everyone else gets a spreadsheet and a prayer.

How Pontis Works

AI handles the analyst work. You get the partner-level outcomes.

01

Analyze & Value

Upload your pitch deck and financials. Pontis generates a full valuation analysis with comparable transactions, market multiples, and a defensible range in minutes.

02

Source & Match

AI scans thousands of potential acquirers, scores strategic fit, financial capacity, and acquisition history. Generates a ranked shortlist with personalized outreach for each.

03

Execute & Close

From CIM generation to NDA management to deal room coordination. Pontis handles the process so you focus on what matters: the negotiation and the outcome.

The Pontis Edge
Speed

Days, Not Months

Traditional M&A advisory takes 6-12 months. Pontis compresses buyer identification and CIM preparation from weeks to hours, getting you to LOI faster.

Coverage

Every Buyer, Not Just Your Rolodex

AI analyzes the full universe of potential acquirers. Strategics, PE firms, family offices, and growth-stage companies. No buyer gets missed because they weren't in someone's network.

Intelligence

Data-Driven Positioning

Precedent transaction analysis, real-time market comps, and buyer intent signals. Pontis builds your negotiation position on data, not gut feel.

Access

Elite Advisory, Democratized

The same quality of analysis that a $1B deal gets at Lazard, now available for a $30M startup exit. AI makes the economics work at every deal size.

Your startup deserves a real exit.

Pontis exists because the best founders in the world are selling their companies with worse advisory than a mid-market plumbing company gets. That ends now.
