I run a successful 2.5 year old startup that today is the only company in the world capable of conducting large scale digital ethnographic studies. We call it big data ethnography. While delivering such research studies to the Fortune 1000 makes up our core business today, our vision has always been to build a Natural Language Processing Based SaaS product that will allow our clients to conduct on-demand, machine based ethnographies on any topic/trend of their choosing.

For example, they could search for prebiotic skincare, and instantly learn about the motivations, values, attitudes and fears that are driving consumers to care about prebiotic skincare today. They could then instantly access the socio-demographics of such consumers, identify where in the inflection curve prebiotic skincare lies today, and what its total addressable market is.

We call our software MotivBase. It’s going to be the world’s largest, and only, research database that uses machine intelligence to study culture.

We are launching our technology in June 2018 and are currently in search of some expertise in the area of Natural Language Processing (technology side), and Social Sciences and Big Data (research side) to help our team solve some of the technical roadblocks and challenges we’re encountering as our data continues to grow exponentially.
