Voicepanel is a Y Combinator-backed startup transforming how companies gather feedback from their customers. Our AI-native platform empowers research and product teams to precisely measure what their customers think about any topic — products, prototypes, brand sentiment, and more. We do this by automating time-consuming & expensive processes, typically performed by research agencies, with easy-to-use software.

We are working on a $140B+ market opportunity, we’re growing fast, and we’re already selling to major brands who are shifting budgets to more modern approaches for research. We are now assembling a world-class team to help us scale. In 2026, we’ll be taking our platform to the next level by building the agent infrastructure for customer insights — enabling companies to build custom agents that bring the voice of the customer into every product decision.
