About Outset
Outset is building the better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews. Global brands like WeightWatchers and Nestle use Outset to get deeper, qualitative research at a speed and scale that was never possible.
The research industry is massive (>$140B and growing) and ripe for disruption. Incumbents are old, slow, and often built on top of high cost services. That’s our opportunity.
Outset is funded by some of silicon valley’s best investors (Y Combinator, Adverb Ventures, 20sales, Matrix Partners, Jack Altman, Ryan Hoover, to name a few) and we’re located in the heart of the Financial District in San Francisco. We are a small team of 7 serving some of the largest enterprise customers around the world.
🤔 The Solution
We’ve built an end-to-end AI-moderated research platform where AI conducts in-depth interviews with participants to more deeply understand their experiences, evaluate new concepts or opportunities, and even test new designs. Our platform also uses AI to synthesize all the conversational data and help extract the most relevant insights.
As a result, our customers are running and synthesizing hundreds of interviews in a matter of hours. This wildly accelerates their research and design process while also allowing them to scale their data collection like never before. Outset is a proprietary infrastructure built on top of the world’s best language and voice AI models.
We are customer-driven at our core.
👋 The people
You'll be working closely with both of our founders, diving deep into how to craft the best experience humanely possible for our customers. We are a highly motivated in-person team, coming into the office 4 days per week.
