Askable
Askable is an Australian, AI-powered user research platform that combines a global panel of verified participants, certified human researchers, and research-specific AI into a single system meant to replace a team's whole research stack. Founded in 2017 in Brisbane, it started as recruitment software - the self-described 'Uber for user testing' - and has grown into an end-to-end product research suite used by teams at brands like Atlassian, Canva, Wise and Toyota. After roughly six years bootstrapped and profitable, the company raised a A$22M Series A led by AirTree Ventures in 2024 to expand in the US and UK and deepen its AI tooling.
