Guidepoint

We started in 2003, designing a research enablement platform to help clients make better decisions. We connect organizations with global experts through a network of nearly 1.75 million advisors.

We provide on-demand intelligence and research on request to inform client research. Our services include Research on Request, which covers one-to-one expert calls, scalable surveys, and in-person events. On-Demand Intelligence offers expert-led transcripts, curated data services, and over 1,500 live events each month. We also developed alternative data products like Tracker (launched in 2007) and Guidepoint Qsight (re-launched in 2018). Our network adds over 20,000 new experts monthly and handles more than 1,400 daily interactions.

We serve over 5,000 client organizations across sectors such as investment firms (hedge funds, private equity & growth equity, venture capital, mutual funds), multinational investment banks (investment banking, asset management, equity research), marketing services firms (advertising, public relations, market research), corporations, and consulting firms. We operate 19 global offices across four continents. We specialize in market research, phone consultations, surveys, group meetings, events, and custom research reports. We cover sectors including healthcare, consumer goods & services, tech, media & telecom, energy, industrials & materials, financial & business services, and legal & regulatory.

Our mission is to constantly innovate new ways to empower understanding and drive business forward. Our core values—intellectual curiosity, tenacity, integrity, resourcefulness, responsibility, and service—guide our business practices.

We employ over 1,600 people across our 19 global offices. We foster a collaborative, open, and supportive work environment that emphasizes teamwork and community. We encourage employees to pursue their passions, challenge assumptions, and contribute their expertise.

We support intellectual curiosity and offer professional development, ongoing mentorship, and an entrepreneurial atmosphere. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, aiming to create an equitable and welcoming environment for everyone. We celebrate team milestones and cultural events to ensure employees feel appreciated and understand their role in our success.

We offer competitive compensation, including an hourly rate or a salary with a discretionary bonus. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, along with a 401(k) with a company match up to 10%. We provide life insurance, parental leave, commuter benefits, and corporate discounts. Professional development opportunities are available through platforms like LinkedIn Learning.

Employees typically receive 15 PTO days, 10 legal holidays, and sick days. We foster a casual hybrid work environment with flexible arrangements, including options for remote work or two days working from home for some roles. We promote global exposure and collaboration through team events, wellness activities, monthly happy hours, Friday happy hours, Summer Fridays, and year-round company-sponsored sports and team building events, including a corporate athletic league. Additional perks include free snacks and beverages in the office, Employee Assistance Programs, and volunteer days. Some roles also benefit from centrally located offices.
