What makes us tick
Our story
We built Appinio because we believed that traditional market research was broken: too slow, too expensive, too complex and yet the data quality was poor, as the respondents were primarily driven by monetary incentives.
Jonathan Kurfess
Founder & Chairman
“I remember noticing this for the first time when I was an intern at an FMCG company – I had no clue about the market I was working in and found myself constantly in search of consumer insights to validate my ideas. And guess what? There was no quick, easy and reliable way of doing so! My 23-year-old, naive self thought there has to be a better solution. So I got together with Max (CEO) and Kai (CTO), and that’s how the idea for Appinio's all-in-one, real-time market research solution was born.
Fast-forward to today, and we're providing consumer data in real time to over 2,600 happy clients – people just like me back in my FMCG days (except thanks to Appinio they actually think market research is exciting, not inefficient and boring)."
