1535 Research LLC was founded in January 2025 with the goal of providing research and consulting services informed by decades of experience across technology, business, and government. Our name, while inspired in part by a simple address, carries a deeper meaning rooted in exploration, resilience, and discovery.
In the year 1535, French explorer Jacques Cartier embarked on a voyage that would shape history. Commissioned to search for gold, gems, and a passage to Asia, Cartier and his crew instead charted new lands along the Saint Lawrence River, eventually reaching the site that would become Montréal. Though they did not find the riches they sought, their efforts produced something even more valuable: a foundation for France’s presence in North America and a legacy of knowledge that far outlasted their original mission.
Cartier’s journey illustrates a timeless truth: when driven individuals commit to ambitious goals and remain open to learning from others, they often achieve outcomes greater than they first imagined. Discovery doesn’t always follow the original map — but the results can transform entire futures.
At 1535 Research LLC, we embrace this same spirit. Our mission is to help clients — large and small — uncover insights, explore new approaches, and develop solutions that create meaningful impact. Like Cartier’s expedition, we recognize that the path to success is rarely linear, but with persistence, collaboration, and vision, discoveries can exceed even the boldest expectations.
