- ByStartupStory | January 31, 2026
Gyde, the US-based AI-driven brokerage platform revolutionizing capital markets with intelligent deal matching, has raised $60 million in a growth round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners to dominate automated investment workflows.
AI Underwriting Crushes Manual Due Diligence
Founded by Wall Street quants, Gyde deploys generative AI agents that scrape 10-Ks, analyze pitch decks, and score startup risk in minutes – connecting LPs with GPs across VC, PE, and real estate syndicates. Unlike AngelList’s listing model, Gyde’s proprietary matching engine predicts 85% deal fit through behavioral finance models, powering $5B deployed capital for family offices and emerging managers seeking uncorrelated alpha.
Growth Capital Fuels Institutional Expansion
Lightspeed’s investment accelerates Series A/B marketplace launches, compliance automation for RIAs, and API integrations with Carta cap tables. The round targets the $100 billion alternative investment tech stack where AI replaces relationship brokers.
Gyde proves AI scales private market liquidity. $60M unlocks the platform powering 10,000 deals annually, turning fragmented syndicates into algorithmic marketplaces from Sand Hill Road to institutional allocator dashboards.
