Our Story
Founded in October 2020, Walr was set up to offer researchers an unrivalled data creation platform and service. It was designed to be the only solution required for all data creation needs. With the sole ethos of partnership, we wanted to provide a solution that played a key role in driving the success of our customers’ businesses.
With 350 years’ collective experience in the sector, having acquired the research tech firm QuenchTec in 2021, Walr now offers the research industry seamless data creation. Through one platform, customers can access an audience of millions and benefit from on-point data collection, analysis and reporting.
