Celebrating the $21m Series A funding round for AI-powered investment analysis platform Bridgewise through national and trade coverage. 

Bridgewise raised a $21m Series A, backed by major investors including SIX Group. More than funding, it marked a shift in investment analysis – making research accessible to all. They turned to Aspectus to secure high-profile media that positioned their brand at the forefront of this transformation. 


The Challenge

As an AI startup, Bridgewise faced the challenge of standing out in an exceptionally crowded space. Reporters covering the sector were often saturated with pitches and generally focused on the most recognizable players, such as OpenAI and Microsoft. At the same time, securing coverage around funding announcements was becoming increasingly difficult. Many journalists only considered rounds above $50 million to be genuinely newsworthy, meaning Bridgewise’s $21 million Series A risked slipping under the radar. The dual challenge of limited attention and tough benchmarks required a carefully crafted media strategy to break through and earn meaningful coverage. 

Our Approach

To cut through the noise, we focused on what made Bridgewise distinctive and newsworthy, rather than the size of its raise. We highlighted its position as the world’s first regulated AI platform offering investment advice, a differentiator that set it apart in a crowded market. We also underscored the calibre of its investors, including SIX Group, the market infrastructure operator behind the Swiss and Spanish stock exchanges. Through this approach, we secured an exclusive interview with Bloomberg’s Saritha Rai, ensuring the story broke first with a top-tier global outlet before extending coverage into the wider financial press.
