About Outset

Outset is building the better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews. Global brands like Hubspot, Microsoft, Uber and Nestle use Outset to achieve deeper, qualitative insights about their users at unprecedented speed and scale.

The research industry is massive (>$140B and growing) and ripe for disruption. Incumbents are outdated, slow, and burdened by high-cost services.

That's our opportunity. And it’s why we’re already growing like crazy, doubling in revenue in the last four months.

Outset recently raised a $17M Series A, led by 8VC and participation by some of Silicon Valley’s top investors, like Y Combinator, Adverb Ventures, Future Back Forward by Bain, Jack Altman, Ryan Hoover, Garry Tan, etc.

We are a driven and passionate team located in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District.

🤔 The Solution

We’ve created an end-to-end, AI-moderated research platform that conducts deep-dive interviews with participants to understand user experiences, evaluate concepts, and test designs. Our AI synthesizes conversational data, delivering precise, actionable insights.

Our customers complete hundreds of interviews in hours, dramatically accelerating research cycles and enabling unprecedented data scale. Outset leverages proprietary infrastructure built upon leading language and voice AI models.

We are customer-driven at our core.
