Jeremy King is the CEO and founded Attest in 2015. This consumer market research company is based in London and New York. It’s a fast-scaling SaaS technology business platform that offers top-level accuracy & speed.

Their tool allows organizations to use ongoing insights to get a market edge in audience knowledge. Attest makes it simple for everyone to do consistent research, achieve clear insight, and regularly identify possibilities with user data by merging exceptional speed and data quality with on-demand research expertise.

Jeremy holds his MBA from Harvard Business School. He trained as a scientist based on genetics, ecology, and animal behavior. He also takes part in improving state primary schools with his charity work. Before Attest, as a consultant, he had 9 years of experience leading global teams across industries at McKinsey & Company.

After leaving McKinsey, Jeremy created a SaaS application facilitating market research for B2C businesses.

He observed that rather than relying on facts from market research, these businesses frequently made guesses about what customers desired. This made him think he could devise a solution to help them reach logical conclusions.

His spouse gave him six months to work on the idea and get the business working. From the onset, he knew he had to validate the idea fast and build a working product.

He interviewed retail store managers on the data they wished they had about the target customers that would help them achieve more sales.

He then interviewed 200+ people and presented the data to retail store managers. His solution intrigued many potential customers, who called investors to invest money in his company.

The founder pitched Series B and C investors, and although they did not invest, he walked away with their feedback. Besides, the series B and C investors would recommend him to seed and pre-seed investors.

He would then ask his potential customers to contact the seed stage and pre-seed stage investors, asking them to invest in Attest.

Attest Ended up raising 650,000 Pounds in 4 months and hit $1M ARR in just 7.5 Months.

Since its inception, several investors have offered more than $100 million of investment capital, including NEA.

Attest currently has over 125 million customers across 58 countries worldwide using this platform to do market research. The company has crossed over $10M ARR

Tripadvisor was founded by co-founders Stephen Kaufer, Langley Steinert, Nick Shanny, and Thomas Palka in February 2000. When they first launched Tripadvisor, they emphasized official words from newspapers, guidebooks, or magazines.

Tripadvisor, now the world’s leading travel advice network, assists hundreds of millions of people in becoming better travelers, from planning to booking to traveling.

Travelers use Tripadvisor to get bargains on lodgings, book activities, reserve tables at wonderful restaurants, and discover excellent locations nearby.

Kaufer co-founded TripAdvisor in 2000 to assist tourists worldwide in planning and having the perfect trip. The business idea came about when Steve was preparing for a vacation, and he searched the internet for a vacation idea, and his experience wasn’t pleasing.

At that moment, he decided to work on a travel search engine that would find those backwater pages, insights, and opinions of what other travelers found.

Their original search engine would search what was already out on the web, find biased information, pull it back into a central database, and then license it as a B2B model to other travel providers.

Their first client came a year after its founding when Lycos, the number 3 web search engine in 2001, allowed TripAdvisor to power the travel sections on Lycos and provide all the travel-related content.

Before co-founding TripAdvisor, Kaufer was an independent software vendor and CenterLine Software’s co-founder and vice president of engineering, where he directed the creation of many award-winning programming environments.

The platform has over 1 billion reviews and recommendations from almost 8 million companies. This travel guide firm works across 43 markets and offers services in over 22 languages, making trip planning simple regardless of the sort of journey.
