About Us

Culper Research was founded in 2019 by Christian Lamarco and is based in New York City. Our name pays homage to the Culper Spy Ring, tasked during the American Revolution by General Washington to report on the movements of British forces. Similarly, we take an exhaustive, investigative approach to investment research. We seek to expose companies which have misrepresented their operations, failed to disclose significant risks, misused capital, possess accounting irregularities, or otherwise deceived investors. In 2021, Culper Research was recognized as a Top 5 activist short seller by Activist Insight.
