Our History
The Cobble Hill Group LLC derived its name from the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where the firm's predecessor was founded in 1998. Today, Cobble Hill Group is based in Durham, North Carolina, an ideal location for a research-driven firm.
Within 20 miles of our office, we have three major research universities: Duke University in Durham, University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University in Raleigh. This area, also known as the Research Triangle, has become a center of high-tech research and development in the United States. In addition to the many multinational companies such as IBM, Cisco, SAS and GlaxoSmithKline that have operations here, there is a vibrant start-up community in the software/infotech, life science, advanced manufacturing and materials, and cleantech sectors. Many of these companies are clients of a business valuation firm affiliated with the founder of Cobble Hill Group.
At Cobble Hill Group, we regularly draw upon the research and data analytics expertise available in the Research Triangle, and benefit from our access to the available pool of highly-educated professionals.
