Background
Listen Labs is the world's fastest AI research platform, built so every company can understand what their customers want, why, and what to do about it.

Over 30% of our team are former founders, and multiple are competitive programming medalists.
Hypergrowth: Since launching, Listen has grown annualized revenue 15x and completed over 2 million interviews - backed by $100M in total funding led by Ribbit Capital, with Sequoia, Conviction, and Pear VC participating.
