Morning Consult expands to New York, Chicago and San Fran

Morning Consult, which covers the intersection of policy, politics, Wall Street and business strategy, is expanding to New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

CEO Michael Ramlet writes, “Five years ago we started Morning Consult out of a Capitol Hill rowhouse that we found on Craigslist, and today we are excited to announce that we’ve expanded nationally to New York City, Chicago, and as of today, San Francisco.

“Bootstrapping the company from $30K of angel capital to a run rate of over $30 million has been an incredible journey, and we’d like to thank you all for your continued support.

“Expanding nationwide accelerates our growth, while maintaining best-in-class service for the more than 265 major brands, trade associations, and non-profits that rely on Morning Consult Intelligence.

“This is the first in an exciting series of announcements we’ll be making this fall that include new coverage areas, new products, and international expansion.”
