Descriptiontext

UserVoice is a private SaaS customer intelligence company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. The company operates a cloud-based platform that ingests customer signals from support tickets, NPS verbatims, product feedback portals, and CRM systems, and applies revenue-weighted analytics to surface churn risk 6-12 months in advance and to prioritize product roadmap decisions by ACV, NRR, and expansion impact. Its core offering is a horizontal Customer Intelligence Platform targeted at product, customer success, and cross-functional leadership buyers, complemented by three developer-facing APIs (Admin API v2, Helpdesk API, and Idea Collection API) and an integration catalog spanning Salesforce, Slack, Zendesk, Jira, Microsoft Teams, Gainsight, Azure DevOps, FullStory, Dragonboat, and Skyvia. UserVoice is SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR-compliant, and WCAG 2.0 Level AA certified, with named customers including Optimizely, Freewheel, and FactsSecurity.

The company generates revenue through tiered SaaS subscriptions and quote-based enterprise licensing, with a 30-day self-serve trial as the lower-funnel entry point and 'Talk to an Expert' / demo-led consultative sales for enterprise deals. Distribution is a hybrid of sales-led direct enterprise motion and a developer/API ecosystem, supported by SEO-oriented comparison pages versus Aha, Productboard, and Canny. UserVoice Inc. is a Delaware C-corp, founder-led (CEO and founder Richard White), and has been operating without disclosed external funding since a $7.5 million round in September 2015; cumulative disclosed funding totals approximately $9.6 million across four rounds from 2008 to 2015, with Baseline Ventures as a repeat lead investor.
