The round was led by Innovation Endeavors with participation from Soros Fund Management LLC through its private investment vehicle, and other existing investors. In conjunction with the funding, Rick Scanlon, Founding Partner at Innovation Endeavors, joined AlphaSense’s board.
The company, which has raised more than $90m in total funding, intends to use the capital to further develop its AI and natural language processing technology, accelerate product development, and drive global expansion of the platform.
