WCP Research serves buy-side institutional investors and technology industry executives. Our research group redefines the technology research market with innovative insights and high-profile thought leadership.
Having already built a highly successful technology research practice from 2004 through 2011, the WCP Research team of Sam Skinner, Ed Bierdeman, Marshall Senk, Ryan Koontz, and Sean Blakley is again changing the technology research landscape. The team combines their extensive experience as technology executives at companies including Oracle, Siebel Systems, Quest Software, AT&T, Tellabs, Advanced Fibre Communications, and Hewlett Packard with financial executive roles at Robertson Stephens, Hambrecht & Quist, Drexel Burnham, and Moors & Cabot.
WCP Research focuses on two key strategic themes driving a substantial portion of tech investing strategies – “cloud and enterprise software” and “network infrastructure and services”. Ed Bierdeman and Marshall Senk lead the cloud and enterprise software sectors while Ryan Koontz and Sean Blakley lead the network infrastructure and services sectors.
The group’s techView buy-side institutional investor product is comprised of daily research abstracts and direct “deep dive” discussions with the analyst team. Research profiles span from strategic analysis of disruptive technologies and macro-trends to company and product level competitive positioning. Our extensive industry experience enables us to comprehensively evaluate impacts to an entire industry ecosystem, from consumers to components, and from consumer apps to core infrastructure. The WCP Research team members are active in many high profile industry forums and conferences and are widely recognized as thought leaders in their sectors… Our industry research service, techView, uniquely combines technology executive experience under a regulated broker/dealer license.
