AlphaSense acquired Carousel to integrate an AI assistant that generates financial spreadsheets and builds models in Excel. Carousel's team will join AlphaSense to develop AI-powered spreadsheet generation tools that automate extracting data from PDFs and presentations, formatting models, building formulas, and explaining complex logic. AlphaSense reported $500 million in annual recurring revenue, 6,500 corporate clients, and a $4 billion valuation per PitchBook. Carousel was founded in 2023, participated in Y Combinator Winter 2024, and will support AlphaSense's push to automate modeling work following a shift toward financial services after acquiring Tegus for $930 million.
