What Revi does

Revi helps Investment Banks, PE firms, and Corporate Development teams source new deals. We do this by using agentic workflows to replicate their end-to-end deal origination process, entirely removing the trade-off between precision and scalability. We released the first version of Revi in September 2023 and now have companies like KPMG and platforms backed by KKR and Nordic Capital using our product.

AI-enabled M&A deal origination

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an AI-driven platform that replicates the entire M&A deal sourcing process for investment banks, PE firms, and corporate development teams. Instead of forcing a trade-off between precision and scale, our agentic workflows find high-quality deal opportunities at scale, automating what has been manual and fragmented work until now.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York City and operate remotely. After YC, the company will remain based in NYC with a distributed team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York City is the financial hub where our initial users - investment banks and PE firms - are located. Being here keeps us close to our customers and the market we serve.

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Revi's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Revi would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
