About

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.

Apheris

In 2019, Apheris was founded with a singular vision: to solve one of pharmaceutical research's most persistent challenges. The founders recognized that while AI held immense promise for drug discovery, the most valuable data remained locked away in proprietary silos, inaccessible due to privacy, security, and IP concerns. Traditional approaches required data centralization - a non-starter for pharmaceutical companies fiercely protective of their research assets. This insight sparked the creation of Apheris, a platform that would enable collaboration without compromise. Today, Apheris powers the world's leading federated life sciences data networks, enabling pharmaceutical companies to train superior AI models on distributed, proprietary datasets without ever moving or exposing sensitive information. Through the Apheris Gateway, organizations maintain complete data sovereignty while participating in industry-wide collaborations like the AI Structural Biology (AISB) Network, which brings together eight top-20 pharma companies including AbbVie, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson. By deploying secure, local applications for drug discovery - from co-folding models to ADMET prediction - Apheris is fundamentally transforming how the pharmaceutical industry leverages AI, turning data isolation into collaborative advantage.
