Qualitate, a NYC-based provider of an AI-native intelligence platform developing an AI moderator service serving primary research workflows, has raised $7 million in a Seed funding round led by IA Ventures and Crew Capital.
The round also saw participation from angel investors, including Tony Berkman, Travis May, and Matt Levin, as well as advisors Alex Zukin and Brian Lichtenberger. The company plans to use the funds to expand its operations and continue its development.
Qualitate improves this process by using AI to run expert discussions at scale. Its AI Moderator interviews thousands of experts each month, gathering insights on future buying plans, competition, and real-time returns. The platform then turns this data into clear, trackable insights across more than 10,000 public and private companies, which can be easily searched using natural language.
With one of the largest and fastest-growing libraries of structured transcripts, every discussion helps improve the AI Moderator and supports custom client projects. Qualitate is building AI agents that can take a research question from start to final answer, work inside the tools teams already use, and combine with a company’s own data, so decisions are based on continuous, real-time insights.

“I’ve spent two decades building software that automates enterprise workflows. Qualitate is the first company I’ve seen apply AI to market research in a way that consistently exceeds human quality. Their compounding data advantage is what separates a product from a platform, and it’s why they have signed some of the largest enterprises and investment firms in the world as customers – and it’s one of the key reasons that we at Crew Capital invested.” – Daniel Dines, Co-Founder of Crew Capital.
“Qualitate’s mission is to give every investor and corporation access to real-time expert intelligence,” said Sagar Kadakia, founder and CEO of Qualitate. “Our AI moderator draws on the combined knowledge of thousands of experts to think and ask questions better than even the most senior analysts. Customers get higher-quality intelligence in days instead of weeks – at one-third the cost.”
