Esteban Vizcaino is Co-Founder and CTO at Maywood, an AI platform that automates deal execution for investment banks from decks to diligence. He leads AI and infrastructure development, building systems that transform how investment banks handle M&A workflows.

Esteban studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at MIT and worked in the hedge fund space at Balyasny Asset Management. He witnessed firsthand how AI could transform financial organizations during his time in hedge funds.

Esteban co-founded Maywood with Drake Goodman and Kent Goodman as part of Y Combinator's W26 batch. The company is based in New York and is tackling the $5 trillion M&A market by removing execution bottlenecks.

Maywood automates the creation of CIMs, pitch decks, financial models, and diligence responses while maintaining firm-specific language and formatting standards. The platform enables investment banks to double deal counts while maintaining the same headcount.

Maywood's AI execution layer helps deal teams focus on judgment and client relationships rather than repetitive manual work. The platform addresses a critical problem where deals take 6 to 9 months end to end when the manual work could be shortened to weeks.
