Founded in 1998 by Bo Mattsson in Stockholm, Sweden, Cint started as a digital platform for consumers to share feedback on products and services and has since evolved into one of the largest digital insights platforms worldwide.

The company operates a programmatic marketplace that enables businesses to gather insights from real individuals, simplifying the process of running surveys and measuring advertising effectiveness.

Over the years, Cint has expanded its capabilities and global reach through strategic acquisitions, including P2Sample in 2019, GapFish in 2021, and Lucid in 2022, enhancing its technology and market coverage. Today, Cint has 14 offices globally and continues to innovate in digital research technology.

Cint has scaled its operations significantly, improving product offerings, geographic coverage, and operational processes, resulting in a robust marketplace with strong network effects where buyers and sellers engage worldwide.

The company was acquired by Nordic Capital in 2016, further supporting its growth trajectory and reinforcing its position as a market research leader.
