Alex Robb is the Founder and Principal Analyst of Acquire.fyi, a business news and data platform dedicated to providing high-fidelity M&A intelligence. Based in Chicago, Alex has spent his career at the intersection of information architecture and market-moving data.

He began his career in market research, specializing in competitive intelligence for top marketing firms. This early experience in identifying industry shifts led him to Google, where he spent 14 years learning how to organize information at a global scale.

In 2026, Alex founded Acquire.fyi to solve a specific problem in the financial media landscape: the gatekeeping of deal data behind institutional paywalls.
