# BlockSurvey

> BlockSurvey is a privacy-first survey and form platform built so that the company running it cannot read the answers. Every response is end-to-end encrypted in the respondent's browser, there are no trackers or ad pixels, and the encryption keys stay with the survey owner. Started at a Stacks blockchain hackathon in July 2019 by Wilson Bright and Raja Ilayaperumal and launched commercially in 2020, it has since layered an AI stack on top of that architecture: AI survey agents that draft questionnaires, hold conversational follow-ups with respondents, and run thematic and sentiment analysis on the results. Around 500 to 1,000 organisations across 50-plus countries use it - university research offices, mental health clinicians, NGOs, activist groups and enterprise teams at names like PepsiCo, Carnegie Mellon and Brave - and it sells on a self-serve SaaS ladder from a free tier through $39-$119 per month up to custom enterprise contracts.
