AlphaSense, a leading market intelligence and search platform headquartered in New York, has announced its agreement to acquire Tegus, a prominent provider of expert research and financial data tools, for $930 million. This acquisition aims to integrate Tegus’ extensive private company data with AlphaSense’s platform, enhancing the ability of business and financial professionals to make informed decisions through AI-driven insights. The deal includes a funding round where AlphaSense raised $650 million, co-led by Viking Global Investors and BDT & MSD Partners. This capital injection has increased AlphaSense’s valuation to $4 billion. The acquisition bolsters AlphaSense’s content offerings, augmenting its AI and search capabilities, and positions the company as a more dominant player in market intelligence. The transaction is expected to close in Q3 2024, with Goldman Sachs and Evercore acting as financial advisors for AlphaSense and Tegus, respectively.
