Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Remesh operates a "hybrid insights" research platform that lets organisations hold structured conversations with large audiences — live, asynchronously, or by video — and analyse the results with AI. A Live Conversation can include up to 1,000 simultaneous participants, while the asynchronous Flex format supports up to 5,000, with participants answering open-ended questions and also voting on one another's responses so that qualitative input can be quantified and consensus identified. The platform supports over 30 (stated elsewhere as 35+) languages and includes AutoTranslate, allowing multi-country studies in participants' native languages.

The workflow is organised in three stages: Design (building a discussion guide with AI suggestions, importing existing documents, and running a simulated practice session), Collect (live moderation with on-the-fly probing or automated question sending via AutoSend, asynchronous surveys, and video), and Analyze (instant conversation-, question- and segment-level summaries, auto-generated codes for open-ended responses, sentiment and theme clustering, and segment drill-downs). Remesh also offers Remy, an embedded agentic AI research assistant that helps build guides, run conversations and produce report-ready findings across studies, and supports importing data collected outside the platform, for example from Qualtrics or other survey tools. Additional platform features include pre-segmentation, onboarding, stimulus presentation, multiple question types, templates and AutoSegment.

Beyond software, Remesh sells services: sample sourcing through a network of panel partners, research services in which its own researchers support or fully run a study, and bundles covering discussion-guide creation, moderation and findings reports. Participant recruitment can be handled on-platform through an integration with Prolific (On-Demand Recruit, promising vetted participants in under 24 hours), through full-service recruitment via double opted-in panels, expert networks and qualitative recruiters, or by clients bringing their own audience via unique invitation links. The company states that client data is not used to train its models.

Founding story

Remesh was founded in 2014 with the stated mission of building technology that could represent the will of the people and amplify collective voice, based on the premise that dialogue at massive scale across cultural, political, social, economic and geographic divides supports mutual understanding. Co-founder Andrew Konya has described the company's central problem as "Representative Intelligence" — intelligence capable of engaging, understanding and authentically representing scalable groups of people.

Business model

Remesh sells access to its insights platform to organisations, with flexibility between discrete per-project purchases and software subscriptions that retain data in the platform and include access to new features; pricing is arranged through sales conversations rather than published rates. Software can be complemented by paid services — sample sourcing, research support, moderation, discussion-guide creation and findings reports — purchased a la carte or in bundles, up to a fully outsourced full-service option.

Project-based purchases and software subscriptions for platform access, plus add-on or bundled research, moderation, sample and recruiting services.

Traction

Company-reported figures include 1,000+ research teams, more than 1 million people in its conversations, 20 million responses gathered, conversations held in 50+ countries, 35+ supported languages, and a 4.5/5 rating on Capterra. Customers referenced include Nestlé, YUM! Brands, Ipsos, Kobie Marketing and Segal Benz.

Latest developments

The company markets Remy, an embedded agentic AI research assistant supporting study design, moderation and cross-study analysis; On-Demand Recruit, providing vetted participants within 24 hours via a Prolific integration; and three collection modes (Live, Flex asynchronous, and Video). It also publishes a report on AI's impact on organisational culture and applied-research content, including work on using the platform for civic participation in the Cyprus peace process.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positioned as an AI-driven challenger to traditional research methods in what the company describes as a $71 billion insights industry. It reports having held conversations in more than 50 countries, and cites recognition including Deloitte Technology Fast 500, Inc. 5000, Fast Company and Fortune Impact 20.

Remesh positions its "collective dialogue" approach as conversations rather than surveys, combining the depth of a focus group with quantitative scale by having hundreds to thousands of participants respond and vote simultaneously, with AI analysis surfacing themes during the session so moderators can adapt mid-study. The company frames its value as reducing insight delivery from months or weeks to hours, and pairs platform software with human research and sample services.

Technology

Proprietary AI and machine learning analyse and organise participant responses in real time, combining open-ended text with participant voting data to produce quantified qualitative output. Capabilities include instant multi-level summarisation, automatic code/tag generation for open-ends, sentiment and theme clustering, automated segmentation, automatic translation across 30+ languages, simulation mode for practice sessions, and Remy, an embedded agentic AI research assistant designed to give grounded, citable answers with multi-modal analysis across studies. The company states its client data is never used to train models.

Go-to-market

Inbound demo requests and project scoping through the website, case studies and blog content, a referral/partner programme, and marketing-services and agency partners who use the platform for client work. The company has also added senior marketing and delivery leadership to support growth.

Insights, marketing, human resources and government research professionals, including enterprise brands, ad agencies and market research firms; named or quoted customers include Nestlé, YUM! Brands, Ipsos, Kobie Marketing and Segal Benz. Use cases span market research (concept, package and ad testing, message testing, foundational exploration), employee listening and change management, and healthcare and life sciences research. The platform is positioned for both junior team members and expert researchers, with role-based access.

Geography

US-based, with headquarters listed at 6815 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Careers are remote across the US. The platform is accessible globally, supports 35+ languages, and the company reports having run conversations in more than 50 countries; a 2020 expansion added a Cleveland office.

History

Founded in 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio. The company raised a seed round led by LionBird, followed by a $10m Series A led by General Catalyst with LionBird participating, announced in a company post dated March 2024 and covered by trade press in March. In March 2020 it announced $25m in Series A2 funding led by General Catalyst with LionBird, North Coast Ventures and new investors, at which point coverage reported more than $38m raised in total; alongside that round it appointed a VP of marketing (Ginny Lobel) and VP of delivery (Adam Donato) and planned a new office in Cleveland, its original founding city. Subsequent product and team developments reported by trade press include the launch of Remesh Flex with a multi-language feature and the hire of a VP of people science. The company later added the Remy AI research assistant, On-Demand Recruit via Prolific, and video-based collection.
