Daniel Kyne

Founder & CEO at OpinionX

Jan 2020 - Present (6y 9m)

OpinionX is a survey platform for in-house researchers and product teams, enabling them to run advanced market research surveys using methods like conjoint and maxdiff, pricing studies like Van Westendorp and Gabor Granger, and analysis methods like customer segmentation and clustering. Researchers use OpinionX to measure user needs, map customer segments, and test pricing changes. These advanced methods are typically locked away on complex legacy platforms, facilitated by specialist agencies, or simply avoided because they're too much hassle. OpinionX uses AI, automations, and an accessible interface to ensure teams can successfully run these market research surveys in-house, regardless of their research experience. OpinionX customers include hundreds of UX, product, marketing, and growth teams who trust us as their advanced research platform, including companies like VEED, Cleo, PicPay Bank, Asics, Reebok, Wave Financial, 18Birdies, and more. We've been featured in publications like TechCrunch, Fast Company, Sifted, First Round Review, RTÉ, Sunday Business Post, Silicon Republic, and The Irish Times, and we're supported by investors such as Enterprise Ireland, NDRC, Andreea Wade, David Shackleton, Ronan Murphy, and more. -- -- --
