Company mission

To make the digital world work properly for everyone, everywhere, all of the time.

-15% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Started between friends, Actual Experience was founded on a combination of science research and business to provide an easier way to improve the digital workplace, benefitting both employees and companies.

Ten years of research at Queen Mary University continues to fuel the the company. An increasing analytics market sets up Actual Experience to become a strong player with its patented tech that analyses the human experience of digital services.

There are plenty of top competitors in the market, including IBM Corporation, Microsoft, ThoughtSpot, Inc., and Amazon Web Services, Inc. Despite this, the data analytics market is rapidly growing and is set to reach USD 132.90 Billion by 2026, and it is an opportune time for Actual Experience to be on the scene.
