From Research Roots to a Trusted Name in Market Intelligence: Calleo Turns 15

In 2010, Andrew Dean launched Calleo Solutions with a clear purpose: to make market intelligence more accessible, consistent and relevant for B2B companies. What began as a research agency offering small to medium-sized projects within financial services has evolved into a multi-industry intelligence partner.

As we celebrate 15 years of Calleo, we’re reflecting on the challenges we’ve overcome, the milestones we’ve reached and the people who made it all possible.

Building the Model: Early Challenges and Breakthroughs

Like many entrepreneurial ventures, Calleo’s early days were marked by experimentation and learning. One of the key challenges was moving away from one-off research projects toward a more sustainable, recurring business model. The goal was to become a long-term partner to our clients—one that could deliver continuous value and not just periodic insights.

We worked hard to refine our service offering, balancing agility with rigour and proving the value of tailored market intelligence that could support ongoing business decisions.

Expanding Reach: From Finance to Industry Agnostic

Over time, Calleo evolved beyond its original scope. While our foundation in financial services remains strong, we have since grown to offer market intelligence and market demand services across a range of industries, including but not limited to:

  • Banking, Payments and Fintech
  • Supply Chain, Logistics and Transport
  • Technology, SaaS and Digital Platforms
  • Manufacturing and Industrial Services
  • Sustainability and Environmental Strategy

This expansion wasn’t accidental—it was driven by client needs and our desire to solve complex, cross-industry challenges. Each new sector has not just deepened our understanding of the B2B landscape but also reinforced our belief in insight-led strategy.

Our greatest success lies in staying true to our mission while continuing to adapt and evolve.

Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter

As we look to the future, Calleo’s vision is clear: become completely industry agnostic, delivering high-quality market intelligence to any business, in any sector, anywhere in the world.

Continuing to innovate—refining our methodologies, expanding our capabilities and embracing new technologies—to ensure that our insights remain not just relevant, but indispensable.

Finally, none of this would have been possible without the people behind Calleo. To our clients, partners, team members and contractors—thank you. Your trust, collaboration and commitment have helped shape Calleo into what it is today.

Here’s to the next 15 years of insight, innovation and intelligent growth.
