Blackstone
It started with $400,000 and two guys who couldn't raise a fund. Four decades later, Blackstone manages $1.35 trillion and quietly owns the warehouses, apartments and data centers powering the AI boom.
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.
