De que forma é que a sua empresa cresceu e evoluiu desde a sua criação, e o que tem planeado para o seu futuro?

We started from the hackathon in mid-2020 and began working with customers individually to solve their pain and grow constantly. Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans for the future, including further product development, expanding into new markets, and strengthening partnerships better to serve our Web 3 customers' evolving needs. We want to be the go-to platform for data collection for Web 3 companies.

What inspired you to develop BlockSurvey, and how did you conceive of the idea?

The idea for BlockSurvey stemmed from recognizing the need for a secure and privacy-focused solution for data collection in a hackathon. This became more evident when we witnessed Typeform suffer a data breach. We were using Web 2 tools for research and couldn’t find a tool that enabled privacy and security. So, we set out to build BlockSurvey to solve this problem.
