About EAIDB

Launched in early 2022, EAIDB exists to enable responsible AI startups.


We methodically source, categorize, and research responsible AI enablement solutions.

Our goal is to provide transparency into what is an otherwise opaque and nascent (though direly needed) industry. We provide differentiation between companies that solve problems with AI and companies that solve the problems of AI. We conduct market research on behalf of founders, investors, policymakers, governments, and the general public. We're fully independent, transparent, and objective.

We actively drive value for those in the space, both within and outside of the database.

  1. Lead & Sales Sourcing

    We've heard from several of our constituent companies that EAIDB's transparency and ability to filter, search, and compare companies within the same solution space has helped clients find products that match their needs.

  2. Investment Sourcing

    EAIDB has drawn attention from VC firms and founders alike and have exercised our unique ability to make connections between the two parties on more than one occasion.

  3. Marketing and Promotion

    EAIDB has 4,000+ followers on LinkedIn and has received 6,500+ downloads on our various reports. We attract attention from the public, policymakers, founders, and investors alike.

  4. Market Research

    As a fully independent organization, EAIDB sits in a place of objectivity and methodical approaches. We do market research on behalf of governments and organizations to investigate and identify market opportunities, profile companies, and offer in-depth comparisons of technology used.

We're a small team with a lot of heart.
