Roshen Menon and Chris Cavanagh, general partners of Guidepost, will join the company’s board.
“We are excited to have found the perfect partners for the next phase of growth and to further disrupt the fast growing, $22 billion data and intelligence market,” said Mathias Wengeler, Atheneum co-founder and CEO. “Guidepost shares our vision to continue to build a fully digital cockpit for primary research, a one stop shop to gather raw data from surveys, virtual focus groups to in-depth interviews – all delivered by our evolving suite of products.”
“Guidepost has gotten to know Mathias and his team over a number of years through our long-term investment experience and thesis-development in the ResTech space. Atheneum is redefining how business intelligence is being shared across the globe by connecting enterprise organizations with the highest quality information at record speed,” said Menon. “We are thrilled to partner with Atheneum, as the company continues to lead and drive innovation in the substantial, yet fragmented ResTech market.”
