Laurel Insights

“I felt comfortable interviewing with Laurel Insights, as they only asked for my experiences, and not about any confidential information. They were professional and courteous in their interviewing process.”

“It was a chance to revisit a wonderful chapter of my life - working at a startup with a passionate, deeply committed leader - in a thoughtful, confidential conversation, with the confidence that my experience can help something I care about.”

“I rarely agree to interviews, but this one felt different. The focus on the founder as a person, rather than just the company, was refreshing. The researcher was professional yet personable, and by the end I not only had new insights into my own experience, but also felt I had made a new friend.”

“You don’t always get the chance to share a fair, honest opinion about people you’ve worked with and my experience with Laurel Insights was extremely positive.”

“I’ve gotten several consulting invitations, but since I’m in a delicate position as a CTO of a Series B company, I never accept them—because it’s always about talking about my field, about business. Yeah, and man, it’s a bit odd, I’d rather not do it. But I thought this one would be nice to do.”

“Laurel Insights is smartly capturing the rich latent knowledge drawn from our individual and collective experiences which currently exists outside the dominant servers of digital data.”

“I chose to talk with you because you made the subject of the call very obvious. It was very clear. And the process of setting up the call and engaging was very simple and very easy.”

“Looked you up because I wanted to know who I was speaking with and whether my perspective would be valued. You came across as very professional and level-headed. It was clear this wasn’t about taking a soundbite out of context or turning it into something negative. I felt confident you were professionals doing very important work.”

“Typically don’t respond to outreach like this, but seeing a leader’s name mentioned caught my attention, so I decided to take the call. The conversation was professional, informative, and made me feel that connecting with the team at Laurel Insights was worthwhile.”

“I’m happy to share the story as long as it’s a factual discussion and I don’t want to be part of gossip. This was done for the right reasons.”

“Investors need all perspectives to make informed decisions, which is why this work is so important. I’m glad to contribute and give back to the larger community.”

“Thank you! I really appreciated the conversation—it was fun.”

“Thought it was a good opportunity and appreciated the chance to share my insights.”
