I've worked on many projects with T4 and they continue to deliver excellent work! They are quick, responsive, and provide incredibly useful market insights that help us make informed product decisions.

T4 are true professionals. Experts in their field in every sense. Their work product was 5 stars.

T4 were great! After speaking with the team, I knew they were the right people for the job. They have a deep understanding of market research and the ability to look at things from multiple angles. They performed a TAM analysis for me and even helped me refine my customer persona at no extra cost. Would highly recommend their services!

About Us

We believe every company should have access to the same strategy expertise and support that large firms like Bain, BCG, and McKinsey provide. Our team consists of former consultants from some of these firms, and we remain passionate about bringing data-driven, actionable recommendations to our clients. We specialize in primary and secondary market research-based strategy consulting, and ensure our insights come from a multitude of data sources: industry expert interviews, surveys, traditional third party research, and alternative data sources.

Our History:

T4 began its life as a company automating the knowledge management and librarian functions of professional services firms and enterprises. We collected the entire world of market research across 1,000 tech sector industries, the largest tech taxonomy in the world, and launched a Beta of that software at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield in 2019. You can see our presentation here. In 2020, we launched a strategy advisory arm of T4, which is now our principle line of business.

While we no longer support the platform, email us if you’d like to check out what the experience on our knowledge management automation software platform was like.
