Team CloudResearch,
CloudResearch has reached an inflection point. With our newly expanded research, software, design, and sales teams fully operational, we have everything we need to achieve something extraordinary: launching a new product every quarter.
This isn’t just ambitious thinking—it’s entirely achievable given where we stand today. Let me share why I’m so confident.
We’re Already Industry Leaders Across Multiple Fronts
Look at what we’ve built:
Connect dominates in data quality, pricing, and ease of use. Researchers and participants alike choose us because we enable authentic human-based research at scale.
Engage has redefined conversational surveys with our bot-free system. We’ve achieved near feature parity with giants like Qualtrics—at a fraction of the cost—while maintaining unmatched flexibility and power in survey creation, analysis, and insight generation.
Sentry stands as the documented industry leader in participant vetting, now trusted by leading platforms worldwide. Supporting over 40 languages with AI-powered quality checks and dozens of detection vectors, it sets the gold standard for data integrity.
Our Unique Position in the Research Ecosystem
Few companies can claim what we can:
Our second textbook, “Research in the Cloud,” will be published by Cambridge University Press in just a few months—a feat almost unheard of in our industry
Our research output rivals Fortune 500 companies
We’re arguably the single greatest catalyst for published research across marketing, social science, medical, and political domains
This intellectual leadership isn’t just about prestige—it’s about deeply understanding our users’ needs and the future of research.
The Path Forward
With AI augmenting our capabilities and our teams working in harmony, we can smoothly raise our aspirations higher than ever before. Our quarterly product goal isn’t about rushing—it’s about maintaining momentum while continuing to deliver the quality that makes CloudResearch the thought leader in our industry.
Each new product should build on our strengths:
Uncompromising data quality
Researcher-first design
Participant respect and engagement
Cost-effective solutions that don’t sacrifice power
Let’s Make It Happen
We have the staffing, the energy, the ideas, and most importantly, the teamwork to achieve this. As we continue to push boundaries, remember that we’re not just building products—we’re shaping how the world conducts research and understands human behavior.
The future of research is being written by us, right now. Let’s continue to lead with innovation, integrity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines CloudResearch.
Here’s to our next breakthrough—and the one after that.
