Tegus

Tegus (which executed a massive strategic merger with AlphaSense) is a highly disruptive, incredibly powerful financial research platform that fundamentally revolutionized the "Expert Network" industry. Historically, if a hedge fund wanted to research a niche software company, they paid an Expert Network $1,000 an hour to interview a former executive over the phone. That transcript was kept private. Tegus completely flipped this model. The absolute core differentiator of Tegus is its "Massive Searchable Database of Expert Transcripts." When a hedge fund pays to interview a former executive on Tegus, that transcript is eventually anonymized, transcribed, and pushed into the Tegus database for *all* subscribers to read. This has created a staggering, continuously growing library of over 100,000 highly detailed, incredibly candid 1-on-1 interviews with former executives, customers, and competitors of almost every major company on earth. For a Private Equity firm conducting due diligence on a potential acquisition, reading 20 different Tegus interviews with the target company's former customers provides infinitely more "Alpha" (insight) than reading a sterile SEC filing. Furthermore, Tegus provides deep financial models (BamSEC integration). For institutional investors seeking the absolute, unvarnished truth about a company's operations, Tegus is an indispensable goldmine.
