  RepostedPatrick OShaughnessy@patrick_oshagMy conversation with Gabe Stengel (@GabeStengel), founder and CEO of Rogo. For years, Gabe and I have talked about how much of an investor's job AI will eventually do and how he is building Rogo toward that future. Today, Rogo helps some of the world's largest financial institutions research companies, run diligence and execute M&A. But Gabe's ambition is much bigger. He is building toward investing superintelligence, where Rogo does much of the work inside investment banks and firms and becomes the venue where they do their deals. It's a fascinating business and has been so fun watching Gabe build it. We discuss: - 10,000 agents searching for one great investment idea - Which investing skills will still matter - Why Anthropic/OpenAI won't win finance - "Chewing glass" - Why the harness around the models matters so much - Getting rejected by 40+ investors - Building an AI native Bloomberg - Becoming a black hole for talent Enjoy!

  RepostedRogo@RogoAIToday, we're announcing Rogo's Deal Room. Deals today are fragmented across data rooms, decks, models, trackers, emails, CRMs, and dozens of other systems. Managing them requires constant, manual coordination. Rogo's Deal Room gives every transaction a home. With the full context of a deal, agents can create materials, run diligence, coordinate stakeholders, and keep transactions moving without a human at every step. As deals close, Rogo can recognize the patterns behind exceptional outcomes, making every future transaction smarter and faster. Great dealmakers shouldn't be caught in process. They should be driving the decisions that matter.

  RepostedChris Zachary@chriszacharyBeen using this for a while internally and it's kind of insane I now have a full, automatically maintained personal CRM - companies, people, notes, citations, activity - pulled from my chats, slack, granola, emails, all of it I've entered nothing manually ‼️ I'm not even the target audience for this feature

  RepostedRogo@RogoAIToday, we're launching Rogo Intelligence. One of the accepted costs of knowledge work has always been that experience compounds in people, not software. Teams develop judgment, but that knowledge remains trapped in inboxes, individual memory, and disconnected systems. As more work runs through a single platform, firms are capturing not just outputs, but the reasoning behind them. Increasingly, our customers ask the same question: How do we turn all of that into an advantage? Rogo Intelligence transforms your firm's expertise into reusable institutional memory. As foundation models become increasingly capable, the enduring advantage won't come from the models themselves. It will come from the intelligence your firm builds over time: the workflows behind your best outcomes, the judgment behind your best decisions, and the knowledge created across every deal, investment, and client relationship. We're building to codify your firm's best practices so your institutional edge compounds.
