Leigh Drogen is the Founder and CEO of Estimize, the first open platform for financial estimates. Estimize is a diverse community of members from the top hedge funds and asset management firms, to independent analysts and investors, corporate finance professionals and students. Estimize is now the most accurate, representative fundamental equity estimates data set comprising over 5,000 contributing analysts.
Prior to Estimize, Leigh was the Founder and CIO of Surfview Capital, a New York based quantitative investment management firm. He was also an early member of the team at StockTwits where he worked on product and business development. Leigh got his start in the institutional finance world as a trader/analyst with Geller Capital, a White Plains based quantitative investment manger. He holds a B.A. in political science and economics with emphasis in war theory from Hunter College in New York City.
When he’s not staring at those rectangular light boxes, Leigh enjoys playing hockey, cooking on the grill, and traveling the world in search of perfect waves.
In 2014 Leigh was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, Estimize was named to Forbes 9 Hottest Startups, and Fast Company named Estimize as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in the world.less

Estimize Inc. | |
April 2011 - Present (12 years 5 months) | |
We started Estimize with the goal of building a community and platform for the creation of a more accurate and representative set of financial estimates, beginning with corporate earnings. By sourcing estimates from buy side and independent analysts, as opposed to the current data sets which only source from sell side analysts, Estimize provides a true representation of the market's expectation. |
