Artificial intelligence market-research platform AlphaSense is being valued at $7.5 billion in a fresh round of funding, raising money from a slate of investors ahead of a possible initial public offering.
The details
AlphaSense’s new valuation is nearly double its $4 billion mark from its last fundraise in 2024.
The company has raised $350 million from investors including private-equity firm Vitruvian Partners; the venture arm of consulting firm Accenture; JPMorgan’s asset-management unit; Goldman Sachs Alternatives; and D.E. Shaw Ventures, AlphaSense Chief Executive Jack Kokko told The Wall Street Journal.
Accenture and AlphaSense will also team up to make AlphaSense capabilities available for corporate clients.
AlphaSense’s software lets users search reams of financial documents and data sources with the help of AI. It surpassed $600 million in annual recurring revenue in the first three months of the year, Kokko said, up from $500 million in the fall.
Kokko said he views an IPO as a possibility, but hasn’t committed to a specific timeline. The company recently hired a new chief financial officer, Samantha Greenberg.
AlphaSense was founded in 2011 by Kokko, a former Wall Street analyst, and Raj Neervannan, who is the company’s chief technology officer.
The context
Investors have been fixated on how developments in AI could upend various businesses, including workplace software. Of particular interest is the financial-services sector, where many companies are racing to deploy AI to perform various research and analysis functions.
The efforts have been fueling anxieties about job security, particularly among younger workers who perform more rote tasks, though many have noted the technology could also present new opportunities.
