Fordel StudiosCashew Research is going after the $90B market research industry with AI
What Happened
Cashew Research uses AI to automate the market research process while still collecting real-world data from humans.
Our Take
Market research is ripe for automation—it's still mostly spreadsheets and email chains. Cashew gets that. But here's the catch: they're not disrupting the cost structure; they're automating the busywork around it. You're still paying for human respondents. They're just making the analysis faster and less manual.
That's valuable, don't get me wrong. But it's 3-4x speed/cost improvement, not 10x. The industry's costs aren't trapped in analysis time; they're trapped in collecting real data from real people. Cashew's just optimized downstream.
What To Do
If you're considering them as a vendor, ask what percentage of their costs are still human respondent collection vs. actual AI-driven savings.
