"We are excited to be a catalyst for change. We are working with multiple private equity firms, management consulting firms, and corporate teams to help make strategic decisions better and faster. This in turn is driving up demand for advisory and information services downstream. We enable $10+ of advisory and information services revenue for every $1 we make. Together with leading institutions, we're building something bigger than ourselves—an ecosystem where everyone thrives," said Harsh Sahai, CEO & founder of Bridgetown Research.

“AI is causing widespread disruptions across many enterprise functions, and Bridgetown Research is riding that wave by assisting executives in making important strategic decisions. We are pleased to see Bridgetown serving several marquee customers, with users likening its platform to having a team of top-tier consultants at their fingertips. We are excited to partner with Harsh, who, with his background as an ace AI research scientist turned management consultant, blends a unique combination of skills and insight needed to imagine this whole new category of applied AI,” said Anagh Prasad, Investor at Accel.

Ishaan Preet Singh, Investor at Lightspeed added “Companies are built on the quality of strategic decisions, and the research and analysis behind it. Bridgetown Research enables the smartest executives and investors to make these decisions with an order of magnitude more information, and at a pace that was earlier impossible. Harsh and Bridgetown are already creating immense value for their customers, but are still just scratching the surface of the leverage that AI can create.”

About Bridgetown Research

The Seattle-based Bridgetown Research was founded by Harsh Sahai, who led machine learning teams at Amazon and worked at McKinsey & Co., co-founded Bridgetown Research with a team of former professionals from McKinsey, Bain, Amazon and tech startups.

Bridgetown Research’s AI agents handle research tasks on their own. Its key product is a voice bot that finds and interviews industry experts to collect firsthand information, which is then combined with data from Bridgetown’s partners.

Bridgetown helped these firms speed up deal screening, cutting the initial analysis time from weeks to just 24 hours. This allowed teams to focus more on decision-making instead of research. It also enabled other clients to conduct large-scale customer interviews, gathering insights from hundreds of people at the same time.
