We just raised $100,000,000 from Ribbit, Sequoia, Evantic, Conviction, and Pear. But it almost didn’t happen. For nearly two years, Listen Labs did not look like a rocket ship. After our pre-seed, we spent ~18 months in what felt like limbo. Models were super unreliable, customers were unsure and we struggled to hire. Every startup problem you can imagine - we felt it. About 9 months ago, it finally clicked. Since then: • Revenue has grown 15×, crossing 8 figures. • We’ve interviewed over 1 million people • We now work with hundreds of enterprises, including Microsoft, Sweetgreen, and Perplexity So what’s driving this? Traditional research costs $50-100k and takes months. So teams skip it and guess. Then they spend millions - on products nobody wanted, campaigns that don't land, messaging that misses. Listen lets you have hundreds of real customer conversations in hours - so you actually know before you commit. More importantly, the outcomes are speaking for themselves. • Chubbies interviewed >100 kids and discovered why an existing product wasn’t working, redesigned it, and launched a new line that quickly became a top seller. • Teams at Microsoft went from waiting 6–8 weeks for research to getting answers in days directly in customers’ own words. • At Sweetgreen, outlier customer insights led to protein-forward menu items that now shape how they think about new launches. Ribbit led because they were customers first - and somehow our top-performing sales reps, unpaid. We owed them a round. Grateful to the team that kept going when the outcome was unclear. Back to work.
