About SurveyGizmo
Yep that’s a house in the picture. It was converted into an office before we took it over and it also happens to be right across the street from the Boulder Google office (no kidding). The house like SurveyGizmo is pretty cool place to work. We ride bikes to work, sometimes bring our dogs, and have meetings on the sunny porch.
We take the business seriously, but not ourselves. SurveyGizmo is a profitable start-up that’s growing fast and wants to do it with bright and friendly people. Our web application allows customers to build online surveys and collect or exchange data. Our customers include major universities, Apple, Gulfstream Aerospace, and General Mills and thousands of others.
Here are just a few reasons why its a great place to work:
- People: Work with great people. Our dedicated and smart employees are why our customer service is the best in the business.
- Work in a nice place: We’re based in Boulder, Colorado, a beautiful place to live and work. We work in a great old house converted into office space on Spruce Street. It’s close to good food, free parking, bike routes, etc. On-site shower, so feel free to bike to work or run at lunch.
- Customers love us: In a recent survey 97%, of our paying users said they would recommend us. Read what customers have said here, here, and here.
- Established: We’ve been profitable from the day we started over two years ago. This startup isn’t a part of a new bubble. We’re not going anywhere but up. We’re growing about 14% per month in revenue and we give back monthly bonuses to employees. We’ve grown our customer base substantially in the last year, and we’ll grow even more with your help.
- Not just surveys. SurveyGizmo is a creative platform for any kind of online data gathering with flexible integration option, some uses besides traditional surveys include medical and sociological research, lead generation, sales channel tracking, publishing, HR, product development research, and many others.
