Whetstone
Do the work only an investment banker can do. Hand off the rest.
Let AI handle the busywork. Only do the work that matters.
Too much of your week is consumed by work that doesn't need your judgment.
Building comps tables, summarizing due diligence findings, drafting sections of pitch books, formatting CIMs — real work, just not your work.
But you don't have to do it alone.
You are the advisor.
AI is your tireless analyst.
Tireless, detail-oriented, and fast — but it doesn't know your clients or the deal dynamics. You guide it with your expertise and market knowledge.
Direct it. Review it. Sign off.
- Assign the first pass. Comps pulls, industry research, financial statement normalization, first-draft CIM sections — the work that needs precision, not deal judgment.
- Review, refine, present. Let AI produce the initial analysis. You apply sector knowledge, add strategic context, position for the buyer or seller. Your judgment closes deals.
- Build deal institutional knowledge. Teach AI your firm's deal history, sector expertise, and client relationships. It becomes your deal assistant, not just another data source.
For boutique investment bankers whose time is the bottleneck.
