The answers are either hallucinated or using low-quality sources.\n* Consultants \u0026 corporate strategy departments need to work with **paywalled data** curated from expert market research firms like WoodMackenzie, Rystad, or S\u0026P Global.\n* They do not want to interact with 15 different platforms or badly implemented AI chats but with one platform that is close to them and aggregates everything.\n\n# **Solution:**\n\n1. Dataleap provides a **powerful AI Copilot** that aggregates and searches through all the relevant market data that strategy teams need to look at.\n\n   ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83457\u0026key=user_uploads/1018869/9632454d-b1c0-4d26-9a72-f646fa636a2f)\n\n2.

We instantly knew that we would start a company together one day, not just because we had the exact same uncommon name but because we just clicked. I went on to work in consulting at McKinsey and as an APM at Google in the search team. He decided to pursue machine learning research at Oxford. Last year, we decided it was time to make the leap, moved to the US, and started Dataleap.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83457\u0026key=user_uploads/1018869/e2e8c5ee-b3f3-4d48-8d7f-f1b900d0dc09)\n\n# **Ask:**\n\n**Please introduce us to strategy and market intel teams at big energy companies** (energy is the first industry we started with), e.g., Dominion Energy, RWE, BP, Shell, GE Vernova. → Email address: [**jan.damm@dataleap.ai**](mailto:jan.damm@dataleap.ai)","slug":"Li5-dataleap-perplexity-for-consultants","created_at":"2024-08-27T14:40:30.962Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:38:47.774Z","total_vote_count":112,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Li5-dataleap-perplexity-for-consultants","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=83457\u0026key=user_uploads/1018869/e2e8c5ee-b3f3-4d48-8d7f-f1b900d0dc09","company":{"id":29807,"name":"Dataleap","slug":"dataleap","url":"https://dataleap.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/faee29cbea32c379ce896ec9fb7d1788061afc21.png","batch":"Summer 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["Generative AI","Enterprise Software","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29807"}}
