Expert network connecting institutional investors to specialized industry consultants
Coleman Research operates a managed expert-network business serving institutional investors, consultancies, and corporations with on-demand access to senior domain specialists. The company is narrowly focused on human expertise brokerage—its tech stack (C#, .NET, Angular, Azure) is supporting infrastructure rather than core IP. Hiring velocity is accelerating across HR and client-facing roles, with geographic expansion into Japan and Southeast Asia, while engineering remains undersized (1 active role), suggesting the company is scaling operations faster than technical capability.
Coleman Research brokers connections between institutional buy-side investors, management consultancies, and Fortune 500 companies and specialized industry experts across technology, healthcare, energy, financial services, and other verticals. The company maintains a network of approximately 400,000 senior-level experts globally and operates 24/7 support from seven regional hubs spanning New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Raleigh, and Los Angeles. Coleman is a subsidiary of VisasQ, a broader expert-network and research platform. The business model centers on expert recruitment, vetting, project matching, and client support—operational challenges include managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions, resolving technical debt, and scaling infrastructure to support expansion in the Japanese market.
Primary stack: C#, .NET Framework, TypeScript, Angular, Azure. Sales and recruiting tools: LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Outreach, Slack.
201–500 employees total. The company reports more than 350 employees across its seven regional offices.
