A world where due diligence is 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.
Our mission
At DEALPRINT, we’re building a world where SMB M&A is accessible, transparent, and grounded in clarity. For too long, small-business transactions have been defined by information asymmetry, manual processes, and inconsistent standards that disadvantage both buyers and sellers. Our mission is to democratize dealmaking by giving everyone, first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and advisors alike, the ability to make confident, data-driven decisions based on facts, not friction.
We do this by putting cutting-edge technology directly into the hands of the people who move deals forward. DEALPRINT turns scattered documents, financials, and compliance checks into actionable insights in minutes, helping advisors and investors focus on strategy instead of administrative drag. By modernizing due diligence and leveling the information playing field, we’re redefining how SMB M&A gets done. We strive to empower better outcomes, fairer processes, and a more efficient marketplace for all.

Meet the team
DEALPRINT is founded by experienced investment professionals and engineers
A team united by the belief that technology and deal expertise together can transform the market
DEALPRINT was born out of a decade-long friendship and partnership between co-founders Sebastian Krappe and Robert O’Brien. The two first met as undergraduates at Columbia University, where they studied together, pushed each other academically, and began collaborating on early projects. After graduating, their careers diverged into opposite sides of the dealmaking world. Robert became an engineer at Goldman Sachs, building the trading infrastructure that processed billions of dollars in transactions, while Sebastian built his career in investment banking and private equity, completing numerous M&A deals across industries. Despite different roles, they shared the same experience: diligence was slow, fragmented, and unnecessarily painful. Even at large financial institutions, the process felt broken.
When they reunited as MBA candidates at Berkeley Haas, they began exploring the SMB M&A ecosystem and were shocked by how underserved it was. Advisors and investors lacked the tools, technology, and data that are taken for granted on Wall Street. Seeing this gap, and knowing firsthand how much better the process could be, they became determined to modernize diligence for everyone, not just large institutions. DEALPRINT is the culmination of that mission: a platform that blends Robert’s engineering expertise with Sebastian’s investment experience to bring sophisticated, accessible, and intuitive diligence tools to the SMB market.
