About

Besample is a new data collection platform that provides online access to thousands of pre-screened research participants in 42 countries across Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe. Respondents are pre-screened for attentiveness and fidelity. In most countries, data is collected within 2-14 days. We adjust our pricing to local minimum wages, making sure respondents are paid ethically. To support scholars in their efforts to research beyond the West, Besample provides grant opportunities. Since our launch in February 2023, over 400 scholars have joined Besample, including those from top schools such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, and Chicago Booth, as well as market research leaders like Accenture. Besample is a female-founded startup on a mission to make behavioral research truly diverse and globally representative. Support us—try Besample and spread the word!
