AlphaSense is a privately held technology company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2008 with institutional and private venture funding.[2] The company is the creator of AlphaSense, a specialized search engine for financial services professionals, launched in January 2011.
History
AlphaSense, Inc. was founded by Jack Kokko and Raj Neervannan in 2008 to apply advanced linguistic search technology to assist investment professionals, to find information in company disclosures. In 2010, AlphaSense launched its search engine utilizing natural language processing to search through all major filings, earnings calls, conference transcripts and other related documents. In 2012, the search engine added company investor relations presentations for the Russell 3000 constituents to their database of searchable content.
In 2013, the firm announced an expansion of its global data set to include more than 20,000 companies across 60 countries.[3][4]
In 2014, the company expanded their searchable data set to include research reports from top brokerages.
In early 2016, the company announced that it had secured an additional $33 million in growth capital[5][6] and added Dow Jones newswire, which includes Barron's and The Wall Street Journal, to its searchable content sets.[7] In May, the company further enhanced its searchable content set with the addition of real-time news from the Financial Times.[8]
