Gabe Stengel, co-founder and CEO of Rogo, describes the company’s evolution from early model experiments into a finance-specific AI platform for dealmakers and investment institutions. The conversation covers the importance of workflow integration, auditability, proprietary data, domain expertise, and the infrastructure surrounding frontier models. Gabe expects AI to reshape pricing, fundraising, asset management, deal execution, and the allocation of capital, while forcing financial firms to rethink their business models and capture their experts’ tacit knowledge. He also discusses enterprise sales, internal AI adoption, aggressive company building, investor rejection, recruiting, and the personal standards required to build an AI company at high speed.
