Our take
Quantilope offers companies an AI-powered consumer insights platform which automates advanced research methodologies, allowing them to carry out complex research projects and get results in just a few days – much faster than the average research agency.
The company launched in Germany in 2014 and grew quickly in the domestic and EU markets. After being named one of Germany’s top 50 fastest growing tech companies back in 2020, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. It’s since opened up entities in Vilnius, New York and most recently, London, with its UK customer base growing rapidly.
One way of interpreting quantiltope’s surge over the last few years is to consider that its AI-powered platform was ahead of its time, and the target market is now catching up. With a roll call of high profile customers including Pepsi, Nestle, T Mobile, and Danone, quantilope looks to be in a very strong position to continue its global expansion.
