🌍 Why We Built This
According to McKinsey & Company, companies that leverage customer insights outperform their peers by 85% in sales growth and over 25% in gross margin. Yet, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, many small businesses still make critical decisions without conducting thorough market research. That’s a gap we’re here to close. Studies show that companies that conduct regular market research grow up to 70% faster and are 50% more likely to outperform their competitors. Yet, over 60% of small businesses make key decisions without solid data. That’s a gap we’re here to close.
Pulse Research Assistant bridges that gap.
It’s designed for:
Product managers who need to validate ideas
Founders pitching new markets
Content creators looking for trends
