About Zarna
Summary
Zarna builds AI associates for private equity firms and investment banks working middle-market M&A. Its agents connect to a firm's existing data and systems to screen deal teasers, redline NDAs, populate CRMs, build LBO models, and draft IC memos, replacing the manual, low-judgment work typically done by junior deal team members. The result is that dealmakers spend less time on data entry and document processing and more time on relationships and decisions.
Go-to-market
Zarna targets private equity sponsors and investment banks, reached through a sales-led, demo-request motion aimed at leading middle-market M&A firms.

AI Associates for Private Capital
Zarna is private equity’s first AI associate class. Our agents plug directly into your firm’s data and work like a deal team that never sleeps. Zarna’s agents analyze CIMs, build LBOs, update CRMs, draft IC memos, & act based on decades of proprietary firm knowledge. The result: investors spend less time buried in decks and spreadsheets, and more time on judgment, relationships, and winning deals.
