Unlocking the private capital markets, together.

At Finalis, our vision is to unlock the private capital markets by simplifying them for all investment bankers, placement agents, and dealmakers.

Our story

The founding of Finalis was based on a simple observation: dealmakers deserve a 21st-century cloud-based, AI supported platform to close more deals faster without worries about compliance. Our founder, Federico Baradello, was a deal attorney at a top global law firm in San Francisco supporting private equity funds with technology company buy-outs, but, ironically, they were using 30 year-old tech to manage and close those transactions. This made no sense, particularly given the changing of the guard in the industry, with more digital natives than ever before running deal processes.

Finalis counts with product experts, engineers, bankers, attorneys and compliance officers based across the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. We came together to build a company and culture in which trust is no mere buzzword, but a daily, lived experience–trust is the fundamental virtue on which regulatory compliance stands. "Finalists" (as we've come to call ourselves) have built a groundbreaking platform for dealmakers worldwide.

Our impact

In just four years, despite a market downturn, Finalis has emerged as a leading player with $68 billion in total aggregate transaction value across 1,100 transactions.  Our performance in 2023 ranks Finalis among the top 30 investment banks in the U.S. and among the top 40 in the world.  We have become the fastest-growing investment banking platform in history, with a goal to unlock the private capital markets by making private market dealmaking easy for all participants.
