Kison Patel: 我最初来自并购咨询背景，在经历了一系列职业发展后，我发现软件工程师使用Jira管理软件开发的方式给了我灵感，因此在2012年我创立了DealRoom，旨在构建一个用于并购的项目管理工具。在产品发展过程中，我们专注于买方市场，并不断进行客户开发访谈，以确保我们解决正确的问题。通过这些访谈，我们甚至发现了比最初设想的更有趣的问题来解决。最近，我们开始构建AI功能，用于从合同中提取数据，以帮助客户节省法律费用。 Dimitrios: 我对Kison的创业历程非常感兴趣，特别想了解DealRoom的创立和发展过程。将传统上在电子表格中完成的工作变得更美观，并帮助人们完成他们的旅程，这非常吸引人。Deal Room不提供待售公司的市场，而是专注于帮助买方寻找目标公司，这与市场上其他平台有所不同，我很好奇他们是如何做到的。
