Mosaic
Mosaic is an AI-driven operating system for deal makers in private markets. The New York-based company automates the financial modeling work that investment professionals traditionally grind out in Excel - leveraged buyouts, discounted cash flows, scenario analysis - turning a process that once took a week into roughly ten minutes. Its platform pairs rules-based calculation engines with generative AI tools like Mosaic Vision and Mosaic Autopilot to read deal documents and draft accurate, downloadable Excel models. Backed by an $18M Series A led by Radical Ventures, Mosaic counts five of the top ten global private equity firms among its customers.
Zarna
Zarna is building the first cohort of AI associates for private capital - autonomous agents that plug directly into a firm's data and work like a deal team that never sleeps. Founded by four UC Berkeley alumni who were previously forward-deployed engineers at AEA Investors, Zarna automates the grunt work of private equity: tearing down CIMs, building LBO models, drafting IC memos, updating CRMs, and surfacing warm introductions. Backed by Y Combinator (F25), the platform recovers ~80 hours per week for 15-person deal teams and promises full ROI in under 90 days.
