Business Development Executive, Public Sector

We all know data should drive every decision. But what about the data you don’t know? For years, the status quo in data aggregation has lacked visibility, moved slowly, and cost too much. Leaving organizations to make critical decisions, day after day, without the whole picture. Premise changes that.

Across 143 countries and counting, our technology connects communities of global smartphone users to source actionable data in real-time, cost-effectively, and with the visibility you need. So leaders inside organizations, non-profit agencies, and governments can now make the best decisions under the best conditions.

With Premise, organizations win. And communities win, too. People can earn more from their opinions and discoveries. They can influence their cities for the better. And, unlike other data sourcing methods out there, they can do it all with full transparency that the data they’re gathering is going to an organization that values it and values them.
