Silverlight Research

Silverlight Research is a global expert network headquartered in London, United Kingdom, operating under the registered UK entity Silverlight Research Ltd. Founded in 2017, the firm connects institutional clients — including institutional investors, private equity firms, hedge funds, consulting firms, and corporate strategy teams — with independent industry practitioners for time-bound research consultations. Its services support commercial due diligence, market analysis, investment research, sector and competitive landscape analysis, portfolio company assessment, and strategic planning. The company operates a database-backed model, maintaining a large standing database of senior industry practitioners across sectors and geographies. According to its own materials, the majority of engagements are fulfilled from existing network coverage, with targeted custom sourcing used only in limited, highly specific cases. A permanent, full-time leadership, operations, research, and sourcing team manages expert sourcing, screening, compliance, scheduling, and documentation within a centralized operational framework designed to support cross-border expert identification and institutional workflow integration. Silverlight Research positions itself within the established global expert network industry, emphasizing compliance and information controls. Its engagements operate under documented governance standards and formal contractual agreements, with standard controls including expert screening, topic scoping, call monitoring protocols, and information barriers intended to prevent the disclosure of material non-public information. The firm states that it facilitates structured research consultations rather than providing investment advice or financial products. As a private company, Silverlight Research does not disclose detailed financial information publicly. Its client base spans institutional research use cases globally, and its website serves as a primary channel for client engagement, expert recruitment, and educational content about the expert network industry.
