Why Grasp

Grasp is an agentic AI platform for finance. The $1.4 trillion financial advisory industry relies heavily on costly and scarce cognitive labor. The industry is so inefficient that advisory firms can charge millions of dollars for teams of junior employees, whose work is 90% manual and repetitive. It is clear that AI will automate large parts of this work and provide a massive uplift in productivity.

Grasp is used by 250 of the world’s largest finance institutions, including PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, and EY, to automate complex company and market research workflows. We’re growing 4x per year, will double headcount this year from 30 employees, and are backed by globally renowned investors such as Octopus Ventures and Yanno Capital.
