TapResearch was founded to help any business access critical market data about their products and services. Born out of frustrations with slow, expensive and hard-to-use research products, our mission is to empower any company to access the critical market insights they need to make better decisions.
Our Audience Network connects tens of millions of people with rewarded surveys in the apps and games they use everyday. Through this network we deliver unprecedented reach, and are quickly becoming the data collection backbone for the research industry.
Hundreds of companies, like Qualtrics, Zynga and comScore rely on our technology to collect consumer opinions across thousands of mobile apps and games from publishers such as MiniClip, SocialPoint, Atari, PeopleFun and many others. By connecting marketers & researchers with everyday mobile users, we are building the next generation of research products.
We’re motivated by the size of the opportunity and the impact we make on our customers’ organizations. We value transparency and are committed to building an inclusive work environment where everybody grows and succeeds together. Recently named one of Inc.’s Fastest Growing Companies in both 2018 and 2019, we are a fast-moving, profitable company that is still in the early innings.
