Aaru Promises Fast-Track Market Research Through AI — Raises Big With Redpoint Backing

Aaru is staking a claim in the emerging field of “social simulation”: using AI to forecast behavior rather than collecting opinions through traditional human-driven research. The startup — backed so far by investors like A*, Abstract Ventures, General Catalyst, and Accenture Ventures — has now tapped Redpoint Ventures for its Series A. With a funding round over $50 million, Aaru aims to scale its prediction-agent platform to serve enterprises and political campaigns, offering a fast, scalable alternative for gauging audience reactions and preferences.
