Customer research

Research2018 to now

We interview customers on film, survey people before they buy, and turn what they tell us into product decisions.

ProofResearch spanning 6,200+ co-buyers and co-owners, in all 50 states.

Three customer video stories, each with the people’s names, where they live and a quote

Three of the filmed customer stories, as they appeared on cobuy.io.

My role

Designed the interview method with my co-founder. Ran the shoots. Built the system that keeps, reads and reuses what customers told us.

Results

  • Our 2026 study draws on waitlist surveys representing 3,400+ people, plus platform data on thousands of co-buying groups.
  • Five national studies since 2021.
  • Filmed customer stories, published on cobuy.io, from a structured interview method.
  • A permission-granted testimonial library from co-buyers, co-owners and the professionals who serve them, with limits on use recorded.

What it is

Numbers tell you how many. They don’t tell you why two friends bought a house together, or what nearly stopped them.

So we asked. On film, with customers who’d been through it, and in national studies, with thousands of co-buyers and co-owners. We keep what they said, with the permission they gave.

It’s where the product ideas came from.

More proof
  • We ask after the value’s been delivered, not before.
  • The interviews surfaced the alignment problem years before we built the product for it.
