Gartner
For 47 years, Gartner has sold executives something rarer than information: a defensible way to choose. Now the firm behind the Magic Quadrant is turning its own research library into an AI product - while protecting the human network that makes the library valuable.
BayOne Solutions
BayOne built a sizable business by selling two things enterprises usually buy separately: the technology work and the people who make it run. Now its bet on AI, managed delivery and diverse talent is turning a staffing heritage into a broader transformation play.
Alium
Alium is a New York-based startup building an AI-powered vendor intelligence platform for enterprise software buyers. It runs structured, compensated 1-on-1 interviews with practitioners - the VPs of marketing, CISOs, and IT directors who actually use the tools - then uses AI to synthesize those conversations into ratings and insights. Founded in 2020 by former CB Insights operators Jonathan Sherry and Alexandre Testu, Alium emerged from stealth in January 2025 with $7M in seed funding, aiming to replace pay-for-play review sites and analyst reports with unbiased peer intelligence, starting with marketing and ecommerce technology.
