Vertical Blue is a strategic consulting firm focused on providing investors with a tailor-made approach to leverage data science and machine learning in their commercial due diligence. We identify, gather and analyze data to gain strategic insights on a particular market and/or business, using the latest data science tools & techniques as needed. Our focus is to help investors anchor their business plan and equity story in more solid grounds than what more traditional strategic consulting enables. Our clients range from large-cap private equity investors to early-stage venture capitalists, from early-on opportunity assessments to later-stage deep dives. We also work with our clients’ portfolio companies to help senior executives drive insights for day-to-day management from their internal sources of data which tend to often be underutilized. Some of the industries we have been working on include consumer products, retail, telecom, environmental services, healthcare, hospitality, among others.
