Qualitate

Qualitate is an AI-native primary intelligence platform, founded in 2024 and based in New York, that automates primary research for enterprises, investment firms and asset managers. Its workflow spans study design, expert recruitment, AI-moderated interviews and insight synthesis - a cycle the company says compresses weeks of manual research into hours. It raised $7m in seed funding and has grown from four people in April 2024 to multiple offices.

The technical stack is built around three components. The AI Moderator conducts expert conversations at scale, interviewing thousands of experts simultaneously each month to capture purchasing plans, competitive displacement signals and ROI data. A proprietary data engine, trained on over 350,000 minutes of expert discussions, is designed to sharpen each new interview. An expert panel network of tens of thousands of vetted specialists covers hundreds of technology markets, with the panel, moderation and analysis layers all owned in-house.

The engineering domains involved include conversational AI and AI-moderated interviewing, natural language processing and insight synthesis, machine learning, and the automation of expert recruitment and panel management. The company describes itself as built by researchers, engineers and AI experts, with an emphasis on shipping quickly while maintaining quality and on owning the full stack rather than assembling third-party tools.

Qualitate serves corporate strategy teams, investment firms, hedge funds, private equity, credit investors, venture capital and asset managers, with particular focus on technology markets.
