The dirty secret about consumer research? It’s overrun by fraud.

Survey bots. People lying to qualify for interviews.

Today, Pogo is launching the world’s only AI researcher that lets brands talk to verified buyers of any product - at scale, in hours.

Backed by $32M to date.

For 6 years, we’ve built the consumer network that makes research with real, verified buyers possible:

• 3M+ opted-in U.S. consumers • Visibility into 1 in every 150 U.S. shopping trips • $470B in observed transactions • Ranked #1 Loyalty App in the U.S. by Newsweek, two years running

Pogo was founded with a simple belief:

People should earn from their own data.

3M+ Americans use the Pogo app to earn by connecting data that reflects their everyday lives: card purchases, receipts, app usage, location, and more.

In return, users earn rewards, find savings, and get paid for sharing their opinions with brands.

That trust is the foundation of everything we’re launching today.

Pogo’s visibility into 1 in every 150 U.S. shopping trips lets brands find the exact people they need to understand.

Waymo riders who stopped using the service. Buyers of the new Chomps meat stick flavor at Target. Users who switched from ChatGPT to Claude.

The same day McDonald’s Arch Burger went viral, Pogo already had thousands of verified buyers our AI moderator could interview.

Dozens of leading consumer brands, consulting firms and investment funds already trust Pogo with their most critical consumer research.

If we do our job right, Pogo becomes the world’s most trusted source of human truth: what people actually bought, and the story behind why.

The result is a better system for everyone: smarter decisions for businesses, better products for consumers, and a new way for people to earn from sharing their lived experiences.

@domwong Talk about playing the long game. Incredible to see the work the team has put in over the last 6.5 years since ODF2 to get to this place.

This is going to be huge for businesses seeking insights and individuals looking to monetize their own data.
