# LinqAlpha raises $22M Series A to build AI agents for institutional investors and public market research

> A small round on paper, but the fact that buy side clients managing over 5 trillion dollars are already paying for these AI research agents suggests real workflow adoption rather than hype. Founded by ex-Goldman analysts and MIT computer scientists, LinqAlpha is betting that firm specific research memory beats a generic chatbot, which is a sharper wedge than most AI finance tools attempt. Expect more specialist AI agent startups in finance to raise on traction metrics like this rather than on model claims alone.
