At Deal Sorcery Live, recorded at M&A SoCal, Ori Eldarov (Founder of OffDeal) and John Camp (Arbor Investments) join the show to discuss the origins of business development and how artificial intelligence is reshaping dealmaking — from sourcing to closing.
They discuss what happens when AI takes the wheel in investment banking, why human relationships still matter more than ever, and how the next generation of deal professionals will work alongside technology, not against it.
Topics covered:
- How AI is transforming deal sourcing and private equity workflows
- Building an AI-native investment bank with more engineers than bankers
- Why a human-first approach still drives great deals
- The evolution of business development in a tech-driven market
