Had so much fun chatting with @andrewrsorkin @BeckyQuick and @JoeSquawk about the future of investment banking. The junior banker powerpoint grind is coming to an end.

🚀🚀🚀

Today we won our first proper bake off against 3 boutique M&A firms for a $2M EBITDA sell-side. The seller chose us despite us being <1 years old and having HIGHER fees than the rest. He said he really liked our young energy and speed (we delivered a full buyer list comps within 2 hours of our intro call). It's time to prove him right.

🚨HIRING INVESTMENT BANKERS!!! $300-500K COMP🚨 We’re growing far faster than planned and need more 10× investment bankers to meet demand. Case study: Sam Mielke joined OffDeal four months ago. Today he’s running 8 exclusive sell-side mandates worth $3.8M in signed fees and another $14M in active pipeline. At his current clip he’s on pace to generate $10M in fees in his first year at OffDeal. At OffDeal we’re building what Goldman Sachs would look like if it launched today: an AI-native investment bank—not a marketplace—serving companies up to $100M in revenue. We give you cutting edge proprietary AI tools to supercharge your deal making along with a steady stream of businesses to help sell. We have a zero “meeting-about-meetings” culture—the work is 100% deal execution, valuation, buyer negotiation, and strategic advice (plus informing product roadmap). Comp → $100-150K base % of every closed fee. We bring the mandates; you bring the craft. If you’re an ambitious early- or mid-career finance pro who’d rather shape the future than polish formatting, let’s talk. 👉  DM me if interested or apply below to join OffDeal - and if you know a great banker that might be a good fit, we’ll pay you a $10,000 referral bonus if they join.
