Mobile surveys for researchers
We're building a mobile platform that lets researchers and decision makers deploy surveys and interventions in real time. Our product gathers powerful data from audiences where they spend their time - their phones - and connects that data directly to the people who need it to make evidence-based decisions. It's designed specifically for healthcare and market research contexts where timing and accuracy matter.
We live in Kitchener, ON, Canada, and the company would be based there after YC as well.
Kitchener has a strong tech community and local connections relevant to healthcare research. Since we're a small team with roots here, it makes sense to stay based here while expanding.
