Company mission

To build the best place for people to organise, analyse and monetise their opinions by enabling communities to easily create databases build for opinions that are beautiful, social and super fun to use.

Our take

Opinions possess profound depth and meaning, yet they are frequently disregarded or undervalued. quester aims to rectify this and contribute to the creation of a more thoughtful society.

By establishing a platform that facilitates the sharing and discussion of diverse resources, quester encourages individuals to express their opinions, engage in reflective thinking, and elevate the level of discourse. Moreover, through its platform, quester aims to cultivate a real love for learning, enabling individuals to embrace knowledge as a lifelong pursuit.

Since launching the site in early 2022, quester is now home to over 450 communities. While predominantly embraced by students, the platform has also become a space for founders, writers, gamers and developers alike. This diverse user base reflects the inclusive nature of Quester, fostering an environment where individuals from various backgrounds and interests can connect, collaborate, and engage in meaningful interactions.
