Qualitate raises $25m Series A from Insight Partners for AI expert interviews
Insight was a paying customer before it led the round. Qualitate says its revenue run-rate grew more than tenfold this year after just over…
Qualitate runs AI-moderated interviews with industry experts and turns them into searchable, structured evidence for investment firms and corporate strategy teams.
Qualitate builds software for primary research: finding out what the people inside a market, such as buyers, suppliers and former employees, think and do. Instead of booking one-hour expert calls by hand, its platform interviews experts through an AI moderator, turns each conversation into structured evidence, and brings that research into the systems its customers already use. The company describes the aim as continuous intelligence rather than research commissioned one project at a time.
The AI Interviewer runs adaptive interviews with experts at scale and draws on earlier research and the customer's own context to sharpen its questions. A research agent answers questions with evidence from those interviews, a transcript library holds structured interviews across major end markets, and company and market signals track buyer behaviour and demand, with alerts when a signal changes. For teams that want to ask the questions themselves, the platform supports human-led calls and lets customers record calls or upload transcripts they already hold. It also offers simulated expert personas for testing decisions, workspaces for projects, and access through an API, an MCP connection and data feeds.
Qualitate sells to corporations for product, pricing and competitive strategy, and to private equity, public equity, credit, growth equity and venture investors for diligence and monitoring. The customers it names include investment firms Alger, Stone Point Capital and Squarepoint, and companies including UiPath, Collibra, Alteryx and Commvault.
