Overview
Inquisit delivered individually tailored news at user-defined times. The company was one of the pioneers of “push” information delivery using an email platform. Altos led the company’s second venture round and helped bring in UOB, a co-investor out of Asia which had profited from a previous Altos investment. Inquisit’s co-founder, Alan Beringsmith, is Altos’ CFO.
