Consumer Research Platform Attest Gets $60m Investment

Consumer research platform Attest has raised $60m in a Series B round of funding, which it will use to fuel continued expansion across North America and Europe.

From its offices in London and New York, Attest helps users access more than 110 million consumers across 49 countries, to learn about their needs, understand live trends, enter new markets, develop new products and services, and track the competition. Using the firm's technology, surveys can be created and distributed to target consumers in as little as 90 seconds.

New funding comes from venture capital firm NEA and tech investor Kismet, along with other undisclosed firms, and brings the total raised to date to $85m. Attest's headcount has doubled from 70 to 140 since early last year and the firm is now planning to increase that number to around 200 to 250 in the next twelve months.

Attest CEO and co-founder Jeremy King (pictured) comments: 'This latest funding round and our exponential growth in the last twelve months reflects the importance of what we do, and the value that we bring to brands. We're thrilled at all the possibilities that this latest funding round unlocks.'
