I’m really excited to share today that I’m joining
@qualitateio !
Two years ago, I led the first financing into Qualitate on behalf of Crew Capital. Today, Qualitate comes out of stealth, announcing its $7M seed financing led by Crew Capital and IA Ventures.
When I first met
@S_Kadakia , Qualitate was just an idea in a pitch deck. But when he explained his vision for Qualitate, it immediately clicked. I’ve spent the last decade as an investor and analyst across both private and public markets. The throughline in my career has been primary research - how to get an informational edge that can drive conviction in an investment thesis.
Over the last 30 years, expert networks have grown as a dominant way enterprises and investment firms have tried to get that edge. But like so many industries, AI has made expert networks obsolete.
Qualitate is creating a new category of primary research for the AI era: continuous intelligence.
Our AI moderator interviews experts across the economy and aggregates their insights into the world's largest structured database of primary intelligence, and it compounds with every new conversation.
That's the foundation. On top of it, customers can embed Qualitate's data into their own tools and systems, combining our data with their data to power end-to-end research workflows, like interviewing experts, interviewing employees, generating executive briefings, and analyzing potential investments.
Qualitate helps companies understand not just the world around them, but what’s happening in their own company as well. All powered by the world’s largest structured database of primary research.
I’ll stay on as an advisor to Crew, and nothing changes with the portfolio companies whose financings I led or the boards I'm a part of.
After a decade of evaluating companies from the outside, as we stand on the precipice of the biggest tech cycle of our lifetimes, I wanted to help build an AI company. And after two years of working with Sagar, it’s clear Qualitate was the one. The team he has assembled is incredible, and I’m excited to be joining them as VP of Operations.
