Our Story. Our Mission.
We exist to help business owners make smarter decisions backed by real data, real insights, and a deep understanding of their markets.
Why We Started Sherlock
Too many business owners were making major decisions based on incomplete information or market hunches. We saw an opportunity to change that.
In 2018, our founder realized that small and mid-sized business owners—landscapers, roofers, HVAC contractors, pest control companies—had access to expensive, overcomplicated research tools built for Fortune 500 companies.
We built Sherlock Research to change that: clear, actionable market intelligence that's actually affordable and designed for the businesses that matter.
Our core values guide everything we do.
