**Short answer:** Most AI tools for finance are horizontal: they serve many finance roles with one product and give every firm the same capability. Mindro is an end-to-end AI stack for corporate finance and M&A advisory firms, centred on information memorandum creation and governed by the company realm. It turns your firm's own deal history, precedents, buyer knowledge, models and IM templates into a firm brain that your firm owns.
