Consumer Edge

Consumer Edge, founded in 2009 by Bill Pecoriello, is a data insights and analytics company focused on the global consumer market. The company provides data-driven insights and tools to key stakeholders in the investment and corporate sectors, enabling enhanced strategic decision-making. Consumer Edge's core offerings include data feeds, templates, and visualization platforms that deliver consumer spending intelligence by combining various privacy-compliant data types across geographies. This unique approach allows for actionable insights driven by near-real-time market intelligence and benchmarking capabilities at the merchant, brand, and item levels.

In July 2024, Consumer Edge launched the CE Scout Index, an innovative offering designed to identify private companies ripe for investment. This proprietary methodology analyzes retail sales data of companies that recently completed transactions to determine the prime range for other companies poised to raise capital. The Scout Index leverages Consumer Edge's near-real-time data on over 12,000 merchants to provide insights into businesses based on consumer purchasing activity and trends. This tool aims to help private equity and venture capital firms discover potential investment candidates using transaction data that emphasizes company performance.

Consumer Edge's solutions provide multinational views on consumer spending and behavior, catering to a broad array of clients including hedge funds, private equity firms, venture capital firms, asset management companies, and corporations. The company has demonstrated strong growth, delivering an organic Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 30% over the three years leading up to January 2023. As of January 2023, Consumer Edge had completed two acquisitions and was actively evaluating additional opportunities to expand its product suite, geographic reach, and data sources.
