MoneyballDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →.ai builds an AI deal team partner for boutique investment banks, targeting what it calls a $40 billion market opportunity.

What's the endgame? The platform helps bankers find the right investors, grow their networks, and streamline deal marketing across private placements and fund raises. The pitch: automate the manual work that dominates boutique banking today.

In their words: "AI has the potential to fundamentally change how boutique investment banking operates by automating the manual work, and almost all of it is manual work," said Julia Whippo, chief executive officer of Moneyball.ai. She added that the goal is to help banks "operate at a scale that simply isn't possible when every deal depends on one banker's time, bandwidth, and reach."

What's super{set} bringing? The studio invests in and builds AI-native companies alongside founders. It is backing Moneyball.ai with capital, operator expertise, developer and go-to-market talent, and hands-on support to speed its path to scale.

The other bet: super{set} also added Eubrics, an AI-powered employee training and sales performance platform serving a market it pegs at $50 billion. Eubrics uses AI agents to simulate work scenarios, letting employees role-play, get instant feedback, and build skills tied to their KPIs. Clients include KohlerDealroom has a profile for this one.

What ties them together? Both companies apply AI to complex, labour-intensive business workflows where purpose-built technology can improve outcomes. As Eubrics chief executive officer Nikita Jain put it: "Traditional employee training is impossible to scale, personalize, and translate into consistent performance on the job."

The signal: The two deals reflect super{set}'s thesis that the strongest companies start with a consequential customer problem, not the technology. Both bets target entrenched manual processes — in dealmaking and in workforce training — as ripe for AI-native disruption.
