Enquire AI is a technology company.
Enquire AI provides an agentic research platform that blends human expert judgment with artificial intelligence to deliver verifiable insights for complex decision-making. The platform helps institutional teams investigate difficult questions by combining direct input from experienced specialists with structured AI research, designed to synthesize signals, identify patterns, and surface critical information. This approach enables a more nuanced understanding of complex situations by preserving context and allowing insights to accumulate over time.
The company was co-founded by Cenk Sidar and Fatih Orhan. Their initial insight stemmed from the paradox that professional decision-makers, despite abundant information, struggle to achieve clarity on critical questions that often lie outside their immediate coverage. Enquire AI was thus established to offer a structured methodology for exploring these emerging issues before their implications become widely apparent, guiding clear thinking in uncertain environments.
Enquire AI serves investment, consulting, and policy teams, including capital markets groups, management consultants, and policy/risk analysts who operate under high-stakes conditions. Its long-term vision is to empower these professionals with disciplined research capabilities, enabling them to make sound judgments by clarifying how views are forming, pressure-testing assumptions, and building a continuous, compounding body of knowledge for evolving challenges.

Enquire AI is a Washington, D.C.-based technology company building the world's first conversational insights platform that fuses global experts with multi-model AI to deliver real-time, verifiable insights across markets, policy, business, and finance.[1][2][3] It serves institutional research teams, consultants, decision-makers, and leaders by solving the inefficiencies of slow expert networks, context-lacking research platforms, and hallucinating generic AI, providing decision-grade answers in hours via AI-moderated expert interviews, Network Pulses, a proprietary insights library, and multi-model synthesis.[1][2][3] The platform enables faster diligence, stronger strategy, and smarter decisions for use cases like risk scans and market entry, with a network of over 40,000 vetted experts and patented knowledge automation technology.[2][3]
Growth momentum includes a $5.5 million Series A in 2021 led by Uzabase (with Teneo Ventures, Blu Ventures, and angels) and a $3 million bridge round to scale its agentic AI research platform for institutional clients.[3]
Enquire AI originated as GlobalWonks, founded in 2017 (with operations starting around 2018) by Cenk Sidar (CEO), Bilal Baloch, and Fatih Orhan, who recognized that professionals represent untapped resources for navigating complex global trends.[3][4] Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the company launched as a digital expert network to make organizations knowledge-efficient by blending AI, data science, and human intelligence.[3][4][5] The idea emerged from identifying gaps in real-time, expert-driven insights amid fast-moving markets.[3]
A pivotal moment came with the December 2021 rebrand to Enquire AI following its Series A funding, shifting focus to an agentic platform integrating LLMs with expert conversations for "exceptional" knowledge at speed.[3] Early traction built on a proprietary Q&A dataset, leading to recent funding for expansion.[3]
Enquire AI stands out in the AI-driven research space through these key strengths:
Enquire AI rides the agentic AI trend, where autonomous AI agents collaborate with humans to automate knowledge work, addressing the explosion of multimodal data and real-time decision needs in finance, policy, and business.[3] Timing is ideal amid 2025's AI maturity, as markets demand speed over legacy tools' weeks-long cycles, fueled by LLM advancements and hybrid intelligence demands.[1][2][3] Favorable forces include rising alternative data needs, regulatory scrutiny on AI hallucinations, and enterprise shift to verifiable insights platforms.[3]
It influences the ecosystem by democratizing expert access, boosting efficiency for research teams and consultants, and setting a benchmark for "knowledge-efficient" organizations in a post-ChatGPT world.[3][5]
Enquire AI is poised to capture share in the $10B+ expert network and AI research market by scaling its agentic platform to more institutional clients, leveraging its recent $3M bridge for global expansion and enhanced multi-model capabilities.[3] Trends like advanced agentic workflows, policy-driven AI governance, and real-time analytics will propel growth, potentially leading to Series B funding or acquisitions by data giants. Its influence may evolve from niche disruptor to standard for hybrid intelligence, enabling leaders to outpace competitors in volatile markets—echoing its founding mission to turn uncertainty into clarity at market speed.[1][3]
