Qualtrics is a private research software company, based in Provo, Utah. The company was founded in 2002 by Scott M. Smith, Ryan Smith, Jared Smith and Stuart Orgill.[2]
Qualtrics software enables users to do many kinds of online data collection[1] and analysis including market research, customer satisfaction and loyalty, product and concept testing, employee evaluations and website feedback.[3]
In 2012, the company received a $70 million investment from Sequoia Capital and Accel Partners, generally considered two of the top venture capital firms in the country.[4][5] It was the largest joint investment to date by these two firms.[6] In September 2014, Sequoia Capital and Accel Partners returned in Series B funding, led by Insight Venture Partners worth $150 million, a record for a Utah-based company.[7]
In May 2016 Qualtrics acquired statistical analysis startup Statwing for an undisclosed sum. Statwing is a San Francisco based company that created point-and-click software for advanced statistical analysis.[8] [9]
Quantitative statistical analysis performed with Qualtrics is cited in a number of professional and academic journals.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
In 2016, Qualtrics was ranked #12 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list.[22]
