Company Profile

History

Sedulo Group is a relatively new company with a lot of experience. Sedulo Group was formed in 2003 when a group of the industry's top competitive intelligence professionals came together with a new idea and a new vision of how to better provide competitive intelligence support to clients.

While each member had experienced success with other CI and research firms, it was the opportunity to build a company around this new vision that motivated them to form Sedulo Group. Uniting research and intelligence professionals from around the globe into one collective consultancy gave Sedulo an unparalleled geographic reach and scope of experience.

Sedulo Group’s industry leading primary source collection capabilities and our unique holistic Competitive Strategy and Futures Strategy services have enabled us to work with companies ranging from innovative start-ups to Fortune 100 multinational corporations.

Although still considered a newcomer in the competitive intelligence industry, Sedulo Group offers clients an impressive depth of experience and unique vision that emphasize primary source intelligence collection and a holistic competitive strategy approach.
