TapResearch

The Vision

TapResearch is a research technology company. We build products that make it easy, fast and affordable to know what people think, feel and do.

Our foundation is our audience network, a collection of thousands of mobile apps where tens of millions of people answer questions in the apps they use every day. Through this network and our research platform, we empower researchers to do research with unprecedented reach, speed, quality and cost.

We believe:
Understanding what people think is too hard, slow and expensive today.
Google, Quora, Wikipedia and other knowledge networks don’t allow you to answer many types of questions.
The existing options, like Mechanical Turk and tradition survey panels, are of poor quality, are subscale, and generally cost too much.
People shouldn’t make decisions on a hunch.
Companies, non-profits, legislators, healthcare providers and any other organization can be empowered by large scale conversations with their target audiences.

Thanks to the internet and mobile devices, social networks and games, the world is now connected at massive scale, making it possible to build powerful products that are easy to use, super fast, and cheap enough to use all the time.

We aspire to change how people go about understanding the world, becoming the default platform when the answer doesn’t already exist on Google.

About Us

TapResearch was founded in 2013 by Aaron Platshon (CEO), Kevin Chang (CTO) and Greg McCullough (COO), who met at their prior company, a peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace startup. Amongst them they have experience building products and companies across gaming, consumer marketplaces and electric vehicles.

Frustrated by their experiences trying to research car owners and renters, they teamed up to start TapResearch, imagining the large scale insights platform TapResearch is today.

Backed by investment from top-tier angel and venture capital investors, the company is growing quickly and is profitable.
