The ability to make critical business decisions has always depended on access to the right information at the right moment – but as the volume of financial documents, earnings calls, expert interviews, and market data has exploded, the gap between having information and acting on it has widened into a structural liability for enterprises. Knowledge workers across finance, corporate strategy, and consulting now spend more time aggregating and searching fragmented sources than they do actually forming conviction – a dynamic that compounds as organizations scale and as the pace of market change accelerates. AlphaSense addresses this problem directly, offering an AI-powered market intelligence platform that combines a library of more than 500 million premium business documents – including company filings, earnings calls, broker research, and expert transcripts – with purpose-built AI tools and agentic workflow systems that move users from raw data to decision-ready intelligence. The platform serves 7,500 customers – including 90% of the S&P 100, 70% of the S&P 500, and 90% of the top asset management firms – and has surpassed $600M in annual recurring revenue – a trajectory that reflects how deeply embedded the platform has become in crucial enterprise workflows. With the launch of SuperAnalyst, an always-on AI agent that autonomously executes multi-step research and monitoring tasks, AlphaSense is extending its platform from intelligence delivery into active workflow execution, positioning it at the center of how enterprises will operationalize AI for research and decision-making.
AlleyWatch sat down with AlphaSense CFO Samantha Greenberg to learn more about the business, its future plans, recent $350M funding round that brings total funding to over $1B, and much, much more…
Who were your investors and how much did you raise?
AlphaSense closed a $350M round at a $7.5B valuation – nearly double the $4B valuation of our last round – and we surpassed $600M ARR in Q1 2026, a few months after reaching $500M in October 2025. The round was led by Vitruvian Partners, Accenture Ventures, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management, with additional new investors including D. E. Shaw Ventures and Pinegrove Opportunity Partners, along with existing investors including CapitalG, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and Viking Global Investors. This backing reinforces growing conviction that trusted, AI-powered market intelligence is becoming core enterprise infrastructure – shifting from fragmented tools to integrated systems that power end-to-end decision-making. AlphaSense is at the forefront of this transition. This is a Series G funding round.

What inspired the start of AlphaSense?
Our founder and CEO, Jack Kokko, started AlphaSense when he became frustrated early in his career as an investment banking analyst. At that time, as an analyst your only option was to ‘CTRL+F’ through thousands of documents to surface information. It wasn’t just inefficient – it was a structural flaw in how capital markets operated. Trillions of dollars were being allocated based on manual search. Jack realized the edge in finance wasn’t who had more data – it was who could find and interpret the critical signal faster. That insight led to the creation of AlphaSense, which today helps organizations transform vast amounts of information into faster, more confident decisions.
How is AlphaSense different?
AlphaSense is different because we combine purpose-built, domain-specific AI with one of the world’s largest collections of premium business and financial content. While general-purpose AI tools generate answers from broadly available information such as the public internet, every AlphaSense insight is grounded in trusted financial, market, and expert intelligence and is fully citable back to authoritative sources. We help users move from information to insight to conviction faster.
What market does AlphaSense target and how big is it?
Today, AlphaSense has 7,500 customers– serving 70% of the S&P 500 companies. AlphaSense customers include financial institutions, financial services, investment banking, hedge funds, asset management, consultancies, and corporations across sectors such as life sciences and healthcare, energy and utilities, telecom, legal, and insurance. We help financial and corporate professionals make faster, more confident decisions. Our users include analysts, investors, corporate strategy teams, competitive intelligence professionals, and executives across a wide range of industries. We believe the opportunity to transform workflows through AI market intelligence is massive, spanning every knowledge worker in every industry.
