Survey 160 is a software product designed specifically to conduct surveys
via text message (SMS) conversation. The technology bridges a gap emerging
between telephone interview methods — which are increasingly expensive on a
cost-per-interview because of declining response rates — and online panel
interview methods, which often struggle to reach particular audiences of
interest. Such audiences may include small geographies, customer lists, or
defined segments of the electorate.
Our customers include high-profile political campaigns at both the national
and state level, advocacy organizations, and brands. We launched in 2018,
based on research conducted with Harmony Labs in New York, and later
contributed meaningfully to political/advocacy research efforts in 2018.
The company began scaling in earnest in early 2019, having received support
from New Media Ventures as well as Higher Ground Labs.
Survey 160 recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless
of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran
status, and other protected status as required by applicable law. Survey
160 celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive
environment for all employees.
