History

Jon Kulok and Steve Hopkins founded Edge Research in 1997, after a decade working in political and public opinion research. Always interested in innovative new approaches and methodologies, they were among the first to tap into the power of the Internet as a channel for conducting marketing research more quickly and at a lower cost.

Lisa Dropkin and Pam Loeb joined the company in 2001, adding qualitative research experience, a non-profit portfolio, and several additional technology companies.

Since then, Edge has continued to grow its client portfolio, strengthen client relationships, expand its experienced and committed staff, and utilize new methodologies and technologies every year.

We are seasoned researchers, but still a nimble, responsive, and high-energy company that will go the distance on every project.
