**Short answer:** Plomo is an AI workspace for sell-side M&A deal teams: document collection, CIM drafting, buyer outreach and Q&A. Mindro is an end-to-end AI stack for corporate finance and M&A advisory firms, built around information memorandum creation from a digital twin of the target company and governed by the company realm.

## Why firms choose Mindro

Your firm builds its own AI capability on top of the expertise it already has. Mindro turns your deal history, precedents, buyer knowledge, models and IM templates into a firm brain that grows with every deal and that your firm owns, portable by contract.

- Your firm is a corporate finance or M&A advisor and the IM is where much of each mandate's effort goes.
- You need confidential client data kept in one governed, auditable environment.
- You want data stored and processed in Europe, with every data access logged.
