The story

From a standing start to the front of the industry.

We began in 2008 with no clients and no network, in a category others had already built. We lead it today — and we got here the slow way: one satisfied client at a time. No acquisitions, no shortcuts. Just better service and more relevant experts, compounded over eighteen years.

How we are built

Independent by design. Built to last.

AlphaSights has been founder-led since day one and, today, is owned free of outside investors. That independence shapes everything about how we work.

Our mission

Better decisions start with the truth.

We connect investors and business leaders to primary insight from the source — vetted, first-hand — and we develop our own people with the skills that power exceptional careers.

Founder-led

Founder-led, eighteen years on.

Founded in 2008 by Max Cartellieri and Andrew Heath, who still lead the business as Co-CEOs. A few beliefs have guided us the whole way — obsess over clients’ success, hire great people, keep learning, and think in decades.

Beyond business

Knowledge for good.

We put our expertise to work beyond business too — connecting nonprofits, social enterprises and impact investors with the knowledge they need. In 2025 we donated $1.1m of services through Knowledge for Good, alongside partners including iMentor, Project Access and Robin Hood.
