"I'm the founder and CEO of Iris. We work with brands to deploy AI agents and automate many of their financial and operational workflows. Iris launched two years ago."
"I've got a handful of AI agents that crawl the web. They know what I've written and care about. They will surface those types of stories to me."
"A lot is going on now, but very few big deals occurred in 2025. You had Poppi and Siete Foods, both acquired by PepsiCo. But overall the year was pretty lackluster for M&A."
"There was a lot of pent-up demand, in part from privacy equity firms that had raised a lot of money."
Drew Fallon is the founder and CEO of Iris, an AI-driven financial modeling platform that automates financial and operational workflows for brands. Previously, he co-founded a tattoo skincare company and worked as an investment banker. Iris launched two years ago and utilizes AI agents to track and report on consumer-focused M&A transactions. Recent notable deals include Unilever's acquisition of Grüns and Huel's sale to Danone. The M&A landscape is experiencing a resurgence after a lackluster 2025, driven by pent-up demand from private equity firms.
