Former McKinsey consultant and Apple engineer launched an AI startup to automate consulting work

Perceptis, a startup founded by former McKinsey consultant Alibek Dostiyarov and ex-Apple engineer Yersultan Sapar, has raised $3.6 million in funding. The startup uses generative artificial intelligence to automate routine tasks in consulting, enabling small and medium-sized companies to compete with major industry players.

Perceptis helps consultants conduct industry research, identify opportunities, and create personalized proposals for clients, significantly reducing preparation time—from 20 hours to just a few minutes. The product boosts productivity, increases the number of proposals, and enhances client revenue.

The platform is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses that cannot afford to develop their own AI solutions, helping to democratize access to consulting. In the near future, the founders envision a more fragmented and specialized consulting landscape with reduced dominance by large firms.
