Finalis was founded on a simple yet powerful observation: dealmakers deserve a 21st-century cloud-based, AI-supported platform to close more deals faster without worrying about compliance. Founder Federico Baradello, a former deal attorney at a top corporate law firm, experienced this gap firsthand while supporting private equity funds on technology company buy-outs - ironically using 30-year-old technology to manage and close those transactions. This paradox sparked the vision for Finalis.
Today, Finalis has emerged as the fastest-growing investment banking platform in history, transforming private capital markets into an ecosystem that is efficient, automated, and data-driven. With $22.5 billion in total closed transaction volume and a global team spanning the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, Finalis ranks among the top 15 investment banks in the U.S. The company's platform supercharges independent investment bankers, placement agents, and M&A advisors globally by providing regulatory affiliation and compliance, deal networking, and AI-powered workflow automation - all built on a foundation of trust and innovation.
