GrapeData
Crowd intelligence platform founded in 2018 connecting professionals with market research surveys and interviews across 90+ countries.
What is GrapeData?
GrapeData is an alternative data sourcing platform founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, UK. The company leverages crowd intelligence and AI to connect businesses — particularly hedge funds, investment firms, and enterprises — with knowledgeable individuals worldwide for market research and due diligence. Operating as a "Data-as-a-Service" (DaaS) platform, GrapeData bridges the gap between the financial world and individuals with specific industry expertise or on-the-ground knowledge in emerging markets. The platform uses proprietary technology and its "VerifAI" tool to automate recruitment, vetting, cleaning, and sanitizing of survey data. With over 600,000 contributors across 90+ countries, participants earn by completing B2B surveys or conducting interviews with others in their professional network to provide sector-specific insights. Earnings vary based on project rarity, profile match, and task complexity.
Mission & values
Power data-driven decisions and commercial due diligence with geolocated B2B surveys — AI-targeted respondent matching plus VerifAI quality automation, sourced from a 600,000+ vetted-respondent panel.
Qualifications
No specific degree is required, but GrapeData seeks individuals with specific professional backgrounds, expertise, or access to niche industry information. The platform matches contributors to research projects based on profile details (job title, industry, location). Contributors must be at least 18 years old and may need to verify identity through phone number or LinkedIn profile linking. The platform is fully remote and flexible — participants use it as a side hustle to monetize professional expertise. Earnings vary significantly by project specificity, the rarity of the contributor's profile, and whether the task involves simple surveys or conducting in-depth interviews.
