Founders

The company was founded in 2008 and incorporated in 2009 in London by Max Cartellieri and Andrew Heath. They met at Stanford Business School in California, and before founding AlphaSights, each founded businesses of their own. Cartellieri co-founded Ciao AG, a leading European price comparison website, ultimately acquired by Microsoft (MSFT).[6] Heath co-founded GoIndustry,[7] an online marketplace that trades surplus industrial goods all over Europe, now part of GoIndustry DoveBid.

Growth and expansion

AlphaSights opened its second office in New York City and third office in Hong Kong in 2011 before opening further offices in Dubai in 2013, San Francisco in 2015 and Seoul in 2016. In 2013, the company was named the third fastest-growing company headquartered in the UK by The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 and has appeared on the list every year since, placing 11th in 2014 and 21st in 2015.[8]

Organisations such as Acumen,[9] Ashoka, CDC Group and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) are known to have worked with AlphaSights through this program.
