About

OffDeal is a Toronto, Canada-based AI-native investment banking platform — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with $17 million raised including a $4.7 million seed in 2024 and a $12 million Series A in 2025 from Radical Ventures at a $100 million valuation — providing AI-powered M&A advisory for small businesses with $5-100 million in annual revenue, automating the analyst-level grunt work (comparable company research, financial modeling templates, CIM drafts, buyer list generation) that traditionally requires junior bankers so M&A advisors can focus on strategic client relationships and deal execution. Launched in 2024, OffDeal has completed 30+ sell-side M&A transactions and projects reaching $100 million annual run-rate revenue by late 2027 through a 100+ deals annually run rate with an approximately 4-month average deal process.

About

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
