What SchellingPoint does

SchellingPoint is a privately-held, founder-owned B2B software and consulting firm headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2005 by management consultants Timothy Chambers and Michael Taylor, who both serve as Principals, the firm operates with a stated headcount of two principals (firmographic data lists up to eight total employees) and no recorded external funding. The company combines an AI-enabled SaaS platform with research-based consulting methods to help groups make decisions, develop strategy, and solve complex problems, claiming outcomes in one-third the time with three times the results of conventional approaches.

The company's core offering is the Strategic Collaboration Software platform, paired with proprietary Strategic Collaboration Methods and Templates. The technology is grounded in Nobel Prize-winning behavioral science research from Prof. Thomas Schelling, work by Harvard professor Chris Argyris, and the firm's own Relational Network Analysis and Alignment Optimization Analytics. Notable technical components include Virtual Dialogue Technology that structures conversational order and sequence, an expert system that generates analytically validated conclusions from group data, and the Culture Engine template co-developed with Talent Strategy Partners. The firm cites 400+ cumulative projects, 100,000+ participants, 30,000+ senior leaders engaged, and 9 million+ data points across its research base.

SchellingPoint generates revenue through two streams: SaaS software subscriptions for its group collaboration platform and professional services revenue from consulting, facilitation, and methods training. Go-to-market is sales-led via a 'Collaboration Architect' who runs discovery calls and case study reviews with prospective enterprise buyers. The company targets Fortune 50/100/250/500 enterprises, government agencies (national and regional), non-profits and coalitions, and both internal and external management consultants. Distribution is direct enterprise sales supplemented by consulting-firm channel partnerships and academic placement in business school curricula, with no disclosed resellers, marketplace presence, or public pricing. The firm has no disclosed revenue, no outside investors, and no parent or subsidiary structure.
