Brief

Pogo's AI researcher aims to solve rampant survey fraud by letting brands talk only to verified buyers at scale. Backed by $32M, Pogo touts a network of 3M+ opted-in U.S. consumers, visibility into 1 in 150 U.S. shopping trips and $470B in transactions, enabling verified-buyer interviews in hours and positioning verified data—not models—as its moat.

AI made survey fraud faster, not better.

Bots answering bots. Brands paying for opinions from people who never bought the product.

Pogo went the other direction.
Verify the humans first: 3M+ opted-in buyers, $470B in real transactions, 1 in every 150 US shopping trips.

Then put the AI researcher on top. Verified buyers only, interviewed in hours instead of weeks.

The model is the easy part. Verified data is the moat.

Congrats on the launch @domwong

The dirty secret about consumer research? It’s overrun by fraud.

Survey bots. People lying to qualify for interviews.

Today, Pogo is launching the world’s only AI researcher that lets brands talk to verified buyers of any product - at scale, in hours.

Backed by $32M to date.

For 6 years, we’ve built the consumer network that makes research with real, verified buyers possible:

• 3M+ opted-in U.S. consumers
• Visibility into 1 in every 150 U.S. shopping trips
• $470B in observed transactions
• Ranked #1 Loyalty App in the U.S. by Newsweek, two years running
