Fairgen, a company generating accurate AI responses to surveys, announced it had raised $8 million to date in Seed funding, led by Maverick Ventures Israel, with participation from Tal Ventures, IGNIA, and Creator Fund to move consumer insights into the AI era. And the company is launching FairBoost, its flagship solution that doubles the size of under-sampled segments using predictive synthetic responses.
Consumer brands spend a lot of money on market research to understand everything they can about their target markets. In most cases, they are also forced to waste resources collecting large amounts of data to meet sample quotas and reach conclusions about niche markets. In some cases, researchers have to pay a premium to collect more responses from underrepresented groups in the study. These boosts generally take weeks to collect and can be prohibitively expensive.
Fairgen also became the first company to use synthetic data for granular insights when it proved scientifically that it could augment under-sampled segments with a high degree of accuracy using proprietary algorithms. Fairgen’s FairBoost trains an AI model on the customer’s survey data. And the model learns the relationship between the different surveyed groups and can extrapolate from the larger groups, generating new responses for niche groups in minutes that are mathematically guaranteed to be statistically accurate.
Samuel Cohen, a former research scientist at Meta, and serial entrepreneurs Benny Schnaider and Michael Cohen launched Fairgen. Advisors include unicorn founder Daniel Amzallag and Emmanuel Candès, the director of statistics and mathematics at Stanford, who helps develop, review, and validate Fairgen’s technology.
Fairgen is utilized by some of the largest global consumer brands and has recently signed a partnership with the international market research firms, IFOP and BVA, which rigorously tested their technology and integrated it into their offerings.
