Summary

LinqAlpha said it raised $22 million in Series A funding in a round anchored by AVP, Atinum Investment, and GFT Ventures, with additional backing from strategic financial institutions and venture platforms across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The New York-based company develops AI agents that learn an investor's research process and investment framework to help institutional teams identify market-moving signals across global public markets before those signals are fully priced in.

LinqAlpha said its buy-side clients collectively manage more than $5 trillion in assets. The company plans to use the new capital to expand its global team, deepen integrations across market and alternative datasets, and speed deployment of its multi-agent platform across equities, macro, credit, and multi-asset strategies.
