What readers say1
Marshall / Baleen does staggeringly good research at companies I've been a leader of, and I'm constantly impressed by his ability to simplify key and unique insights across business model complexity. Marshall / Baleen's work stands out as unique and differentiated for investors and operators alike, he's Stratechery 2.0
Having walked tech industry showroom floors with Marshall for the better part of a decade, Marshall has keen insights and a great rolodex of contacts.
Not only is Baleen Research written by a special human (not AI slop), but the little asides and quirky observations show the depth of connectivity Marshall has developed over many repetitions of attending the same software events and talking to the same people. You can't fake that level of depth (many have tried.) As someone who knows a thing or two about the cloud and Kubernetes ecosystem, it's refreshingly accurate and nuanced.
Great marketing pitch for your research. I suppose that those who can't do teach, or sell research.
Each update gives me a pulse on emerging trends, on-the-ground sentiment, and industry shifts — without needing to attend every event myself. Baleen Research's updates have become one of my favourite sources for staying up to date on key updates on the market-leaders in tech. I highly recommend if you want signal over noise.
I'm an analytics consultant, and Marshall's research consistently shapes my mental map of the analytics industry. While his writing is always grounded in rigorous quantitative analysis, what sets him apart is his use of real-world anecdotes. Humans remember stories — and Marshall knows how to use them to bring data to life.
This could be you. If we use your comment you can get a Baleen Research hat — all the best software investors are wearing them.
