AfterQuery

AfterQuery is an American artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco, California, that makes training datasets and evaluation benchmarks for large language models and artificial intelligence agents.[1][2] AfterQuery was founded in January 2025 by Spencer Mateega (CEO), Carlos Georgescu (CTO), and Danny Tang (COO).[2][3]

History

Mateega and Georgescu met in high-school during a Google computer science summer program and later interned together at Meta. While, Mateega attended the University of Pennsylvania and Georgescu at the University of British Columbia, they submitted an application to Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch.[1]

The founders' first product, an AI agent for finance, was unsuccessful. Through this experience, the founders realized many large language models struggled with many professional workflows due to the lack of training on how professionals behave throughout their work, prompting a shift towards building end-user applications to producing training data instead.[1]

In April 2026, AfterQuery announced a $30 million Series A funding round at a $300 million valuation, led by Altos Ventures, with participation from The Raine Group, Y Combinator, BoxGroup, and individual investors from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta Superintelligence Labs, and Microsoft's AI division.[1][4] AfterQuery claimed it had surpassed $100 million in annualized revenue run rate, roughly fourteen months after launch.[1][4]

According to Forbes, AfterQuery shares similarities with data-labeling firms such as Mercor in selling training data to AI labs including OpenAI and Anthropic. A private-markets analysis by Sacra similarly identifies Mercor and Surge AI as AfterQuery's closest strategic competitors, alongside Scale AI and Labelbox, and notes that AfterQuery's revenue is concentrated among a small number of frontier AI labs and large technology companies.[4]
