Jack Kokko is co-founder and CEO of AlphaSense, the market intelligence platform often described as “Google for finance.” The company’s 6,000 customers canvass 90% of the top asset management firms, all the world’s leading investment banks, and over half of the Fortune 500 companies.
Our conversation covers Jack’s early frustration as an investment banking analyst that sparked the idea for AlphaSense, the evolution of the business from a simple semantic search tool to an AI-powered research platform, the promise and perils of LLMs in high-stakes decision-making, and Jack’s vision of an always-on intelligence machine that will transform how business gets done. Jack offers a fascinating glimpse at the intersection of technology, data, and investment decision-making.
