Arbor is an AI research platform built to help enterprises capture and analyze frontline employee and customer conversations at scale. By automating thousands of AI-powered interviews simultaneously, the software converts qualitative feedback into executive-grade insights within minutes, replacing slow, consultant-driven research processes. Early enterprise customers—including transportation giant First Student and food manufacturer Lyons Magnus—report 85-90 percent participation rates and have identified operational bottlenecks that translate into seven-figure cost savings. The full-stack system serves manufacturing, logistics, retail, and other operationally complex sectors, delivering real-time pattern detection that informs executive decision making. Founded by Veronica Ma, Kelly Zhou, and Ashish Dsa, Arbor is headquartered in New York and is expanding its engineering, product, and go-to-market teams. The company plans to accelerate product development to address additional industries and use cases. Financially, Arbor has secured $6.3 million in seed and pre-seed funding to support these growth initiatives.
