The Research Rally is a 1-day event concept we take around the world. After successful events in New Orleans, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona, we are now planning the 2018 serie in Moscow! Get on the train to join us!

1 day accelerator to work with leading local start-ups
Join the start-up economy and stay ahead of the competition!

What is it?

Start-ups, insights professionals as well as research technology specialists form teams (this takes place onsite), work on a start-up challenge and compete against each other when presenting their findings and recommendations during a 3 minutes pitch to the expert jury at the end of the day!

How does it work?

Start-ups pose a business and research challenge, accompanied by, if available, relevant business data.

Our research technology/agency partners then utilize research tools, relevant data or open data sources for onsite use to gather, analyse & interpret consumer feedback on the spot! These insights are the foundation of concrete business recommendation for the start-ups.

Who wins?

Winner is the team that develops the most viable business solution and recommendation helping the start-up on their way to success.

It's really helpful in prioritizing our product roadmap. Getting this amount of results so quickly was really useful.
Harry Boileau, Pupular (2016, New Orleans)
It was an interesting experience to hear about a business I do not experience in my day to day.
Nadine Bailey, Viacom (2017, Amsterdam)
It was a great working atmosphere, very creative, with engaged and open-minded participants. I learned a lot from the point of view of market researchers, which partly confirmed and partly corrected my view of the market. Market research is a powerful tool in the hands of the right people, and it can generate results much quicker than I thought (in our case, one afternoon).
Christoph Janott, audEERING (2018, Berlin)
