Explore the AI Providing Cost-Effective Management Consultancy Services
Harsh Sahai, the CEO and founder of Bridgetown Research, drew inspiration from his past roles at McKinsey and Amazon. At McKinsey, he led strategy engagements, while at Amazon, he managed machine learning teams. Sahai envisioned merging these experiences to offer a unique strategic service to businesses, resulting in Bridgetown Research's $19 million Series A financing round.
Sahai noticed that businesses, particularly small and medium-sized ones, struggle to afford pricey consultancy services like McKinsey, even when their strategic decisions could mean the difference between thriving or just surviving. Bridgetown aims to tackle this issue by mimicking these competencies at a price these businesses can afford.
Bridgetown relies on three sets of AI agents to achieve this goal. First, AI agents gather mission-critical data, including conducting research calls with industry experts for their expert insights. Second, AI agents process this data to produce critical outputs that help make informed decisions. Lastly, AI agents provide strategic advice to the business based on their analysis.
Businesses pay a subscription fee for using the platform, which covers data analysis and reporting, with additional fees for original data research based on usage. Bridgetown's goal is to deliver high-quality strategic advice at an affordable price for smaller organizations.
The platform can provide strategic advice for various use cases, but Bridgetown chose to focus on one particular decision frequently faced by growing businesses – whether or not to pursue a specific acquisition. By analyzing potential targets, Bridgetown helps businesses make informed decisions regarding potential acquisition suits based on their current state and future objectives.
Sahai explains that Bridgetown's innovative approach is both cost-effective and driven by a conscious capital mindset that seeks to drive business growth rather than replace jobs. This alliance of AI and consulting expertise has already brought in over $1 million in revenue and secured backing from venture capital firms like Lightspeed and Accel.

Entrepreneurs like Sahai, who have experience at McKinsey and other prominent firms, often recognize the need for affordable strategic consulting services for small and medium-sized businesses. Bridgetown Research, led by Sahai, addresses this issue by utilizing AI agents to provide strategic advice at a lower cost compared to traditional consultancies. These AI agents gather data, process information, and offer strategic recommendations, making Bridgetown an attractive option for cost-conscious businesses.
