Slipstream read-through

Legacy incumbent CRM, not an AI-native tool; a system Slipstream Advisors could integrate. Aware-of, not a priority.

How capital is flowing into the buckets

Capital = disclosed total raised, $M. Undisclosed raises are excluded, so totals are conservative. Figures from public reporting as of May 2026.

By bucket

By segment

Capital pools in tools. By company count and by dollars, the Tool bucket dwarfs Service — most money in this market is spent making incumbents faster, not building new operators. AlphaSense alone (~$1.4B raised, $4B valuation) accounts for most of the tool total; even excluding it, tools still outnumber operators. Read the bars as direction, not precision.

The IB-operator model has arrived but is barely funded. OffDeal ($17M) and Eilla AI (~$1.5M) are the only AI-native investment banks taking the mandate — the Capital formation / M&A bar is a sliver next to the tool bucket. Early, uncrowded, and Slipstream Advisors' frontier-tech vertical is still open.

Service capital concentrates in wealth and insurance. Most Service dollars sit in wealth management (Farther, Savvy, Range, Arta, Facet) and AI-native insurance operators (Corgi, WithCoverage). The tool layer is already consolidating: Tegus → AlphaSense ($930M), BlueFlame → Datasite, Fintool → Microsoft, Sourcescrub → Grata. Tools become features of platforms; operators keep the client and the economics.
