Simba is great for longitudinal and pulse-check surveys. These surveys are short, generally less than 20 questions, and repeatable. We find that this style of survey is great for sentiment analysis and getting real, direct data on change over time. It’s also a good fit  for market research and collecting information from distributed teams.Impact organizations often have long surveys, since they currently don’t have direct community outreach. We have methods for managing longer surveys (e.g. question randomization) to consolidate them for ease of delivery over Simba. Shorter surveys have higher completion rates, no matter what the delivery method!

We specialize in impact organizations - organizations with a primary goal of positive social or environmental impact. These can be nonprofits, social enterprises, or governments. We do not and will never sell ads or sell the data we collect.

Yes! We use AI to conduct tasks like coding for sentiment analysis or voice memo transcription - simple, repeatable tasks that would normally be done by a human. In fact, AI is more likely to execute these kinds of tasks reliably and without mistakes than human operators, because it is not prone to human error from things like fatigue or inconsistent training.We consistently cross-check our AI outputs to make sure they are in line with what we would expect from manual review.

As a Simba Labs member, organizations have access to our team for consulting and general R&D around data and impact measurement. Sometimes this means that we help out with other aspects of the organization, especially around data & technology.

The international development sector is huge - Americans alone donate about $500 billion annually to nonprofits. We charge organizations in this sector a subscription fee for using our service.Simba is a for-profit social enterprise. We balance positive social impact with profitability, and believe it’s important to be self-sustaining in order to ensure we’re creating value and can scale our impact over time.
