About Us
Making research
accessible to every team
We are building the platform we wish we had when we were researchers ourselves.
Our Mission
Qualitative research is one of the most powerful tools for understanding people. Yet researchers spend more time managing data than analyzing it -- wrestling with spreadsheets, manually tagging transcripts, and searching through hours of recordings for key moments.
We started Research Player to fix that. Our platform gives UX researchers and product teams a purpose-built home for interview data, powered by AI that understands the nuances of qualitative research.
We believe every product decision should be grounded in real user evidence. By making research synthesis faster and more accessible, we help teams build products that truly serve their users.

What we believe
Our principles guide every decision we make.
Research-First
We build for researchers, by people who understand research. Every feature is designed to support rigorous qualitative methodology.
Privacy by Design
Research involves sensitive user data. We encrypt everything, enforce strict access controls, and never use your data to train AI models.
AI as Augmentation
We believe AI should augment researchers, not replace them. Our tools surface patterns and save time so you can focus on what matters: understanding people.
Open & Transparent
We publish our pricing, our roadmap, and our security practices. No dark patterns, no hidden fees, no surprises.
