Replacing legacy market research with AI population simulation is a bold bet. But Aaru definitely has its believers, poaching talent from Hebbia and Rippling, and acquiring customers like EY and Accenture. Scout also highlighted their strong investor following on X, which includes partners from Benchmark, Felicis and Khosla. Listed on Harmonic's Hot 25 (Q2 2026 #5, Q3 2026 #3, Q4 2026 #13); best rank #3 in Q3 2026. Harmonic headcount ~70.
