The company
ABR Labs is building ESGA, an AI market analyst that answers investor-level questions in plain conversation. It processes financial statements and market announcements in real time to generate earnings summaries, flag material risks, and fold in sustainability metrics.
Investors are drowning in financial filings and ESG disclosures but still rely on analysts who can't read everything in real time. ABR Labs is betting conversational AI can close that gap and adapt its depth to whoever is asking.
Founded in 2026 in Perth and still pre-funding, ABR Labs frames itself as an applied AI studio built around cognitive architectures. The company says it studies digital behaviour, decision-making patterns and risk signals to shape how its systems reason over time.
ABR Labs is led by founders Parsa Aghdasi and Jason Fairclough, running it as a focused studio rather than a single-product shop. With pedigree details light, the early signal is in the scope: cognitive systems tuned for financial and ESG reasoning.
