Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Daash Intelligence is a commerce intelligence company that operates an AI-based predictive analytics platform for retail brands, with a focus on the beauty and personal care category. The platform delivers weekly, retailer-specific updates covering color cosmetics, skincare, fragrance, haircare, personal care and adjacent categories, allowing brands to compare their performance against their full competitive set.

The company's proprietary AI combines multiple data sources to produce sales and velocity estimates on a weekly basis, and tracks how key metrics shift over time so brands can see which brands, products and SKUs are gaining or losing market share and why. The stated aim is to give midsized and smaller brands timely, affordable visibility into market trends and white space opportunities that would otherwise be available only to the largest players.

Business model

Daash provides a data and analytics platform to retail brands, delivering recurring weekly market and competitive insights derived from its own AI models.

Traction

Investor Bullpen Capital stated in January 2025 that Daash had more than doubled its client roster since its initial funding round announced just over a year earlier. Glow Recipe is a named user of the platform.

Latest developments

In January 2025 Daash announced a $5.5 million second seed round led by new investor Bullpen Capital, with participation from GFT Ventures and returning investors Silicon Road Ventures and Red Bike Capital, bringing total funding to $8.25 million. The proceeds were earmarked for scaling engineering and go-to-market teams and accelerating product development.
