About Grasp
Grasp is a Stockholm generative-AI company founded in 2020 by former McKinsey consultants Richard Karlsson (CEO) and Johan Cederqvist Devér (CCO) with AI engineer Simon Hällqvist (CTO). Its SaaS assistant helps investment banks and management consultants automate research-heavy workflows such as buyer and target screening, financial analysis and related advisory tasks using proprietary models tuned for professional-services use cases.
