History
Edgewater Research was founded in 2018 as an independent equity research provider and market intelligence company. Its seven founding partners share a common passion for deep channel research and cultivating lasting client relationships. The company seeks inspiration from rising to the challenges of a dynamic and competitive industry, continually striving to be an essential and trusted provider to the clients it serves.
Edgewater Research is built on a “boots-on-the-ground” approach, emphasizing data-driven channel work grounded in deep industry relationships. That commitment to rigorous, firsthand research is core to everything the firm delivers to its clients.

What has not changed since 2018.
Institutional investors and corporate clients choose Edgewater for one reason: we do the work that drives the edge.
True primary research
Full-time, in-house analysts doing the labor-intensive channel work — not surveys, not scraped data.
Conflict-free independence
No banking, no trading, no axe. The research says what the channel says.
Cross-vertical connectivity
Consumer, technology, digital and industrial channels read together, so a shift in one shows up early in the others.
Expanding coverage universe
Industrials is the newest vertical; the contact network grows with every field cycle.
