Streetbees

What Streetbees does

Streetbees operates a human intelligence platform that combines a global consumer community with proprietary AI to automate end-to-end market research. Founded in 2014 in London, the company built SBX (Streetbees Experience), an AI-powered platform that uses proprietary LLMs combined with traditional machine learning to automate the entire research workflow from brief generation to insight delivery. The platform engages 10 million+ participants across 80+ countries through a mobile app, capturing conversational text responses, photos, and videos that are processed into structured insights delivered in as little as 48 hours at approximately one-fifth the cost of traditional research methods.

The company serves enterprise consumer brands across CPG, FMCG, beauty, food and beverage, technology, entertainment, travel, and consulting—including Unilever, Mars, Intel, Ferrero, Heineken, Avon, L'Oréal, Boston Consulting Group, Sony Pictures, TUI, IKEA, Clorox, and Essity. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large global brands through demo-based lead capture and multi-year subscription contracts with quote-based pricing. The platform is organized around three strategic solutions (Innovation, Demand, Brand and Comms) and six modular capabilities (Explore, Test, Pulse, Capture, Segment, Track). The company has delivered 3,000+ projects and accumulated 35 million+ responses across its decade of operation.

In November 2025, the software and technology assets of Streetbees Ltd were acquired by a new US-based team led by a research and insights industry veteran. The company has relocated its headquarters to Miami, Florida, while maintaining London and Lisbon offices, and is currently relaunching the platform. At the time of scraping, the company's website explicitly notes the site is 'not yet 100% functional,' indicating an ongoing transition. The business remains private, with prior institutional backing from Atomico, Lakestar, Latitude, Mercuri, Octopus Ventures, and LocalGlobe totaling approximately $63.1 million in disclosed funding across rounds from 2017 through 2020.

Direct peers

• Qualtrics: Enterprise experience management and market research platform offering AI-powered survey, insights, and analytics workflows to large brands. Closest direct competitor to SBX in target customer (enterprise insights/brand teams), business model (SaaS), and core capability (automated survey-to-insight pipeline).
• GWI: Global consumer insights platform providing syndicated and custom audience research to enterprise brands. Directly comparable to Streetbees in serving CPG/FMCG and media clients with consumer research and audience profiling at global scale.
• Toluna: Technology-led market research platform combining a global consumer panel with automated survey and insight tools for enterprise clients. Competes head-to-head with Streetbees on panel-driven, conversational consumer research for brand and innovation teams.
• Attest: Consumer research SaaS platform enabling brands to run automated, real-time surveys against a global consumer panel. Closely comparable to Streetbees on consumer-target audience, SaaS delivery model, and emphasis on speed and self-serve insights.
• Zappi: Consumer insights platform purpose-built for CPG and brand teams, automating concept testing, advertising research, and innovation studies. Directly comparable on target buyer (enterprise brand and innovation teams), use cases (concept test, ad test), and SaaS model.
• Prolific: Online participant recruitment and research platform providing verified participants for academic and commercial research. Comparable to Streetbees in operating a high-quality global research panel as the foundation for enterprise and academic studies.

Emerging players

• Yabble: AI-native consumer insights platform that uses generative AI to synthesize qualitative and quantitative research. Emerging direct competitor focused on the same AI-augmented research workflow that Streetbees' SBX targets.

Broad incumbents

• Kantar: Global market research and insights powerhouse serving the world's largest CPG and FMCG clients. Broad incumbent competitor with overlapping enterprise accounts (Unilever, Mars, etc.) and a wider portfolio of services than Streetbees' specialized AI-research offering.
• NielsenIQ: Global consumer measurement and analytics company providing insights to CPG brands and retailers. Broad incumbent competing with Streetbees for enterprise consumer-insights budgets, with deeper data assets but less agile AI-driven conversational workflow.
• Dynata: Large first-party data and insights platform operating one of the world's biggest research panels. Comparable to Streetbees on panel-driven B2B research and on serving enterprise insights buyers, though with a broader, less AI-conversational positioning.
