About Us

ChangeWave runs a proprietary network of 15,000 highly qualified business, technology, and medical professionals referred to as the ChangeWave Alliance. Alliance members are credentialed experts in leading companies of select industries who spend their everyday lives working on the frontline of technological change.

Our proprietary intelligence-gathering process is based upon the systematic collection of valuable business and investment information directly from accredited members. ChangeWave surveys Alliance members on a range of topics, collects feedback from them electronically, and converts the findings into quantitative and qualitative reports.

Members represent a broad cross section of vertical markets such as software, telecom, healthcare, energy and semiconductors, along with a wide range of professional disciplines including managers, programmers, executives, sales personnel, engineers, and physicians. Nearly three-in-five members (56%) have advanced graduate degrees (e.g., Masters or Ph.D.) and 92% have at least a 4-year bachelor’s degree.
