SlashData

SlashData's journey began in 2005, initially known as VisionMobile. In those early days, it operated as a mobile industry analyst firm, offering strategy consultancy during the nascent era of mobile technology, even before the game-changing arrivals of Android and iOS. By 2010, the company had sharpened its focus, becoming dedicated mobile software analysts. This period saw close collaboration with leading telecommunications companies and handset manufacturers, guiding them through the disruptive landscape of software in the mobile sphere. A significant milestone during this time was the launch of the Developer Nation research series, a cornerstone of SlashData's offerings that continues to provide invaluable insights into the developer world.

The year 2015 marked a pivotal evolution as SlashData transformed into a research analyst firm. This transition was accompanied by the trust and partnership of tech giants such as Microsoft, Intel, Google, Amazon, and Facebook, among other top-100 technology firms. These industry leaders relied on SlashData to understand developers better and to gauge developer satisfaction with their products and services. Today, SlashData stands as an expert in tech market research. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services and research products, including competitive benchmarking, market landscape analysis, customer satisfaction and perception studies, and pricing strategy development. Their core mission is to help the world understand developers and, in turn, help developers understand the world, surveying over 40,000 developers annually across a multitude of technology sectors.
