Big decisions are tough.

We’ll at least make due diligence easy.

That vision is what motivated us to create DEALPRINT. A platform built to simplify diligence, accelerate deals, and open the door to the next generation of SMB ownership.

How we came to be

DEALPRINT co-founders Sebastian Krappe and Robert O'Brien by the San Francisco bay

Sebastian and Robert met during the first week of college at Columbia in an era where AI barely existed in the marketplace. The two grew closer as they each stepped up as captains of the Rowing and Track & Field teams, respectively. Together in New York City, Sebastian began his career in investment banking then private equity while Rob engineered Goldman Sachs’ trading platforms. In 2024, they teamed up as classmates, again, at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business for their MBAs.

During their years of business school – the world faced many inflection points, which led Sebastian and Robert to question: How do we use AI to benefit what it was designed for – the people? How do we increase access to the financial marketplace for people who need it the most – families and their leaders? How do we build for what matters the most – our communities?

Sebastian and Robert are addressing these pressing questions by leading a team of people who share the same values and passion for solving hard problems. Our founding team met through business school, a community of entrepreneurs and (surprise!) a pool bar in Berkeley. Together we have created cutting-edge technology to turn scattered documents, messy financials and hidden deal risks into actionable insights in minutes. Everyday we wake up excited to empower investors and advisors to focus on what they do best: making smart decisions.

This is chapter one of our journey: We’re building products that best reflect what we learn from our customers everyday. We’re growing our community to include more people who come with a wide range of stories and experience levels. And we’re building our team so that we can collectively become smarter – and deliver faster. We’re doing everything we can to make small business ownership more accessible!

Because at the end of the day, isn’t this what Silicon Valley is all about? To keep asking the hard questions – and keep moving forward?
