Exciting Client News! For the MRX and UX researchers in my network, if you're not rethinking qual yet, you should. And if you already are, you should be talking to Outset. Early pioneers in native AI, with a respondent & quality first POV (participants love these sessions)...
I’m thrilled to announce @OutsetAI's $17M Series A funding round, led by @8vc!
Since day one, @AaronLCannon and I were driven by a simple truth: Companies build better products when they actually talk to their users. YC drills "talk to your customers" into founders for a reason—it works. But scaling those conversations has always been challenging.
I’m proud that we've created a platform that enables companies to have deeper conversations with more customers at unprecedented scale.
What's even more special: not a single employee has left the company since we were founded three years ago. We believe the journey is just as important as the destination, and it's truly a privilege to work with our all-star team each and every day.
We approached Series A strategically, raising exactly what we needed to fuel our growth to the next stage. Thank you to 8VC and our other investors (Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company, @ycombinator (including our partner, the incredible @garrytan), @Adverbvc, @RebelFund_VC, Genius Ventures, Ritual Capital, Alt Capital, and Mute Ventures).
We're focused on what truly matters: serving our customers and growing responsibly. We believe in building a sustainable business that creates real value.
To our customers who trust us, our investors who believe in our vision, and our incredible team who make it all possible—thank you.
Time to scale.
@aviel This would do so much damage to Seattle and WA, at a time when other city and state officials are actively trying to support and grow businesses.
The unrealized capital gains part of this is especially bonkers; it just does not make any sense for those who are closer to this.
I completed a goal I’ve been working on for some time, running my first marathon in Miami a few weeks ago. It was amazing to have family and friends there cheering me on (high-five snap of my daughter Harper) and supporting me a LOT while I trained ❤️
Wonderful panorama of inlet where shipwreck #MVAlta beached. #Ballycotton - for seafarers though (and for one of her Captains who wrote to us) a poignant sight. More @rte news
Have you ever wished your Word doc questionnaire would magically transform into a programmed survey? (I know I have!) Today that wish comes true. No conversions to other formats. Not syntax required. Just click upload. #mrx#newmr
What a #cx fail by @amazon: while laying my baby down to sleep with white noise, Alexa woke her up with a 2 min upsell pitch on a white noise subscription 😡
To clear up some confusion I'm still happily employed at FocusVision, I still live in Boston, not Toronto. @YahooFinance has an article up that says otherwise... #fakenews is real and it's out there... be warned 😆
Practical tips re: int'l clients from our friends @mindsparklab . I use time zone converters all the time. getting this right is a big deal, even in NAM (speak their time zone 2, not your own!): https://t.co/Mbz4kuP402 #mrx
