Watch this brief video with Daniel Newman, Patrick Moorhead and Ryan Shrout discussing the launch of Signal65, a new company that will serve the technology industry with testing, performance validation, and data-based consulting.
Signal65 may be new, but our history runs deep.
Signal65 was founded in 2023 by Ryan Shrout, Patrick Moorhead, and Daniel Newman, three industry analysts that saw a gap for technology companies looking to find reliable, third-party performance and lab validation services. This trio has 15+ years of experience running performance labs in the largest silicon companies in the world and also experience converting that data into marketing and storytelling.
The company also inherited the expertise of The Futurum Group Labs, previously Evaluator Group, that provided in-depth testing and analysis services for the data center and IT infrastructure segment for more than 15 years and built a reputation for customer excellence and depth of knowledge.
Signal65 combines that team with a group experienced in client/consumer products and testing for more than 20 years to create a complete end-to-end technology and testing organization.
After more than 18 years of managing a top-tier technical review outlet, and 5 years inside Intel as Chief Performance Strategist of its competitive analysis group and senior director of marketing for the graphics and AI division, Ryan leads Signal65 to provide validation solutions for the technology market.
