AI Startup Bridgetown Research Secures $19M to Democratize Strategic Business Insights

The Seattle-based company uses AI agents to provide affordable, data-driven decision-making tools for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bridgetown Research raised $19 million in a Series A funding round led by Lightspeed and Accel, valuing the company at $250 million.
The startup's AI platform automates data collection, analysis, and reporting to deliver McKinsey-style strategic insights at a fraction of the cost.
Founded in 2023 by Harsh Sahai, Bridgetown leverages AI agents to gather proprietary data from sources like expert interviews and customer surveys.
The company initially focused on private equity deal screening but plans to expand into broader market research and sector-specific intelligence.
Bridgetown's rapid growth includes over $1 million in revenue within four months of launch, with plans to enhance its AI capabilities and services using the new funding.
