Our take
Founded in 2014, Prolific is a marketplace and data analysis company that provides researchers with a network of test participants. From eye-tracking to human-facing AI applications, Prolific’s network acts as both a recruiter for test participants and as a marketplace for researchers scientists to hire said participants.
Founded in 2014, it’s already used by the likes of Google, Stanford, Oxford and Kings College London Universities to test new AI products, providing “stress tests” for its clients. Prolific’s user base now counts over 2000 potential test subjects, whilst researchers leverage its network to launch surveys, tests and evaluation tasks every 2 minutes.
An indicator of Prolific’s success is maintaining of profitability for years after its initial Y Combinator investment. In 2024, it raised $32 million in Series A to maintain its healthy position. This funding will allow it to expand its operations.
