DealFlowAgent Raises €646K To Expand AI-Native Investment Bank For SME M&A

The round was led by Long Journey, a San Francisco–based early-stage venture fund whose team includes Arielle Zuckerberg, Cyan Banister, Scott Banister, Pascal Levy-Garboua, and Lee Jacobs.

The firm’s portfolio features companies such as Uber, Loom, SpaceX, and DeepMind. The round also included angel investment from one of the earliest employees of Temenos.

Founded in 2024 by Lewin, DealFlowAgent is an AI-driven investment bank specializing in M&A advisory for business owners generating €1.15 million to €34.5 million (£1–£30 million) in annual revenue.

The firm focuses on niche, essential service sectors such as building services, healthcare, and software across the UK and US. It targets deals often overlooked by traditional investment banks, which typically prioritize transactions above €57.5 million (£50 million).

Lewin previously sold his first company, Zwings, and experienced firsthand the complexity and cost of the M&A process. That experience inspired him to build DealFlowAgent.

The company notes that capital is increasingly shifting from traditional software investments toward AI-native platforms and roll-up acquisitions, as nearly 3 million baby boomer business owners in the UK and US representing more than €8.6 trillion ($10 trillion) in value approach retirement.

DealFlowAgent combines human advisors with a proprietary conversational AI matchmaking platform that connects buyers and sellers. This approach aims to reduce fragmented communication and missing information that often disrupt traditional M&A transactions.

To date, DealFlowAgent has completed 22 transactions. Recently, the platform helped an online pharmacy receive four offers within four weeks and finalize a multi-seven-figure all-cash acquisition with a Y Combinator–backed healthcare buyer in just nine weeks.

With the new funding, the company plans to scale its platform and grow its team. DealFlowAgent is currently hiring two Senior M&A Advisors, a Chief Operating Officer, and a Senior Full Stack Engineer.

“Most business owners have never sold a company before they wing it, or work with a broker who can’t track what hundreds of buyers actually want. Our conversational AI matchmaking maintains memory of every buyer preference and deal structure, so we can match sellers with the right acquirers, run a competitive process, and deliver more offers to choose from and better terms in less time,” said Joe Lewin, founder and CEO of DealFlowAgent.
