Our take
DISQO is a consumer insight exchange platform, providing data on consumer activity to businesses that they can use to inform marketing and product development decision-making.
The company was founded with the intention of creating the most trusted insights platform for market research and ad measurement. Unlike competitors, DISQO's business model revolves around a win-win outcome for both consumers and marketers, with consumers willingly selling their data for rewards, and marketers using an ethical and sustainable provider to gain insight into consumer behaviour without losing valuable PR points.
DISQO boasts an impressive client list spanning market researchers, ad agencies, and global brands. After receiving substantial funding in 2021, the company acquired Feedback Loop in 2022, a product research platform. This buyout enabled DISQO to deliver comprehensive insights into brand, product, and customer experiences for any kind of organization, and facilitate its continued expansion across the space.
