Enquire AI

Enquire AI is an expert network based in Washington, D.C. Enquire AI was founded as GlobalWonks in 2017 and operates a “DIY Marketplace” focused on foreign affairs and political risk experts.

Enquire AI offers three service areas:

• “Network Pulse” - a real-time Q&A tool allowing clients to ask research questions and receive short, tailored insights in minutes from subject-matter experts around the world.

• Pulse Calls (similar to expert network calls)

• Pulse Projects

The Network Pulse allows clients to ask ad-hoc questions, similar to the service offered by Wonder. More recently, the company has repositioned itself around an "agentic AI research platform," combining AI workflows with expert insights to deliver faster, contextual analysis for institutional clients.

Enquire AI funding rounds

• August 2020 - Enquire AI (then "GlobalWonks") raised a $2m seed round investment led by Tokyo-based Uzabase Inc. Uzabase already owns Mimir, a Japan-focused expert network. Following the investment, Enquire AI's database of 14,000 experts was integrated through an API solution into Uzabase's business intelligence platform SPEEDA. This is the second partnership emerging between US and Japan-based expert networks in 2020. In July, Mimir's Japanese competitor VisasQ invested an undisclosed amount into DeepBench, a Boston-based network.

• December 2021 - Enquire AI raised $5.5m Series A led by Uzabase and Teneo Ventures (also including Blu Venture Investors). At the time, the expert database was said to have grown to 40,000 experts, and revenues grew by 3x over the past year.

• December 2022 - Enquire AI raised an undisclosed amount from freelance marketplace and recruitment firm MBO Partners.

• June 2025 - Following a management buyout from Uzabase, Enquire AI became independent again and raised $3m in a bridge round via a convertible note. At the time, the company's workforce had grown to approximately 196 employees, including a 12-person engineering team. The company reported revenues of $1.4 million in 2023 and $1.7 million in 2024.
