We make human knowledge digital.

Reinventing the expert network industry by bringing technology to the forefront of knowledge-sharing.

Our story

After gaining years of experience in the expert network space, Sam Glasswell & Will Leeming spotted a massive opportunity to modernise an outdated, analogue industry. So, in 2018, they founded Arbolus with a bold goal - to bring technology to the forefront of knowledge sharing.

With a global model from the outset, Arbolus quickly gained traction within the strategy consulting space. Clients loved how we tackled issues that legacy expert networks overlooked.
Then, in mid-2022, instead of following the industry’s insight library trend, we disrupted the market by introducing Canopy, a video Q&A tool. This move accelerated our growth in the private equity scene, as Canopy reshaped customer research.

Fast forward to today, we're supporting hundreds of clients worldwide with a tech-driven approach to expert insights and boasting a talented team of +150 across four global offices.

What excites us the most is that we're only getting started.

As we plan for future growth, we're laser-focused on speeding up client access to B2B customer insights to streamline the whole investment research process from early scoping to value creation and beyond.
