Story-grade research at the scale of a survey.

Reagale turns human conversation into structured decision intelligence for the institutions that listen for a living — universities and health systems whose old ways of hearing their people have stopped working.

The problem

The institutions that need to listen most can't hear at all.

The classic survey is dying, and the organizations that depend on it are flying blind.

6%
response rate of a typical telephone survey today — down from 36% in the late 1990s.
16.4%
average annual RN turnover at US hospitals in 2024. One in six nurses leaves every year — and most can't tell you why.
36%
of US bachelor's students don't finish within six years. Universities lose them without ever hearing the reason.
The bet

What if every person could give a twenty-minute interview — and you could read all twenty thousand of them in a morning?

Qualitative depth at quantitative scale. Now possible.
The product

Reagale runs the conversation for you.

From a single question to a briefing your team can act on by Monday morning.

1

Ask

Write one question — about onboarding, decision-making, climate, anything at all. Reagale builds the interview around it in minutes.

2

Listen

Pip, our interviewing model, follows up where it matters and stops where it doesn't — the same energy with the twenty-thousandth respondent as the first.

3

Synthesize

Emergent themes, verbatim quotes, and dissenting voices — gathered into a briefing your team can act on, with the trail from insight to evidence one tap away.

The market

Built for institutions that talk to humans for a living.

Response rates collapsed, AI conversation crossed the threshold, and institutions need a new way to hear. That's why now.

Universities

5,889 Title IV institutions
19.6M postsecondary students enrolled (Fall 2024).

"What's keeping you from finishing your degree?"

How we make money

Institutions pay for ongoing listening.

Comparable enterprise survey platforms run tens to hundreds of thousands per institution per year. We slot in below — built for institutional research budgets, not corporate ones.

Per-survey · short-term

Department

One project — a single climate survey, an exit-interview campaign, a course-feedback round.

Annual platform license

Institution

One campus or hospital, running multiple ongoing studies across institutional research, student affairs, and the CNO's office.

Enterprise contract

System

A multi-campus university or hospital system — continuous listening as a permanent channel.

The ask

Raising pre-seed.

Three people. One thesis. One year. We're a different category — a conversation, not a better form — and we're raising to prove it with the institutions that need it most.

Ship the platform.

Land five institutional design partners.

18 months of runway.
