The company

What they're building

ABR Labs is building ESGA, an AI market analyst that answers investor-level questions in conversation — processing financial statements and market announcements in real time to generate earnings summaries and flag material risks. The twist: it adapts its explanations to the user's level of financial expertise.

Why now

Markets generate more data than any human analyst can read, and ESG metrics now sit alongside financials in investment decisions. A system that reasons across both, in plain language, meets a gap that generic chatbots don't cover.

The backstory

Founded in 2026 as an applied AI studio, ABR Labs says it studies digital behaviour, decision-making patterns and risk signals to shape how its cognitive systems reason and adapt over time — positioning ESGA as the first product off that research.

Why this team

The company is led by founders Parsa Aghdasi and Jason Fairclough, running ABR Labs as a studio rather than a single-product bet — a structure that suggests they're building cognitive architecture to reuse, not just one tool.
