PRESS RELEASE — Decision Science Advisors, LLC (“DSA” or the “Company”), a leader in Applied AI and Data advisory, announced it has raised a Series A funding round from Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (“Jefferies”), one of the world’s leading full-service investment banking and capital markets firms. The capital will further advance DSA as an innovator at the intersection of AI and private equity and support the Company’s continued expansion across the US and Europe.
DSA was founded in 2020 and bridges AI strategy, execution and adoption. Trusted by the most prominent global private equity sponsors, DSA combines deep technical expertise, business acumen and a creative perspective to design and deploy production-grade AI solutions.
Rich Handler, Jefferies’ CEO, stated: “I believe DSA is the partner companies need right now to practically deploy their AI strategy in a manner that will yield actionable and meaningful results. We look forward to introducing DSA’s talented team to our clients.”
“The gap between talking about AI and actually delivering results is widening and the importance of credible advice combined with execution excellence will be the differentiator”, said Beth Pollack, Founder and CEO of DSA. “We’ve spent five years proving our model works — this funding lets us scale that impact across more private equity firms and their portfolio companies.”
At this critical inflection point for AI in private equity, demand for impact-focused partners continues to grow. DSA partners closely with investors, CEOs and operating teams to cut through the noise and translate AI into lasting value.
