Potloc
The all-in survey platform powering the world's best consulting and private equity firms.
About Potloc
Potloc is an AI-powered survey platform purpose-built for consulting and private equity firms that need fast, high-quality primary research. Founded in 2013, Potloc pioneered social media sampling to source engaged B2B and B2C respondents across industries, geographies, and languages. The platform covers the full survey lifecycle — from questionnaire design and sampling through live fieldwork monitoring to AI-assisted analysis — enabling firms to move from brief to insight without sacrificing rigor. Potloc's multi-source sampling engine reaches niche audiences and hard-to-find respondents at the pace that consulting and PE mandates demand. Its AI-powered analysis tools allow users to chat with their dataset, generate instant summaries, filter results dynamically, and build reports faster than traditional methods. The platform is trusted by over 500 global firms including KPMG, Roland Berger, Kearney, Arthur D. Little, and AlixPartners, and holds an NPS of 54 among its consulting and PE client base. Use cases span strategy projects, commercial due diligence, thought leadership, pre-due diligence screening, and portfolio monitoring. With AiDOOS, organizations can accelerate deployment of Potloc by accessing on-demand research and analytics talent to configure workflows, train teams, and maximize platform adoption across global offices.
Challenges It Solves
- Traditional survey providers are either too slow for consulting timelines or too low-quality for rigorous due diligence and strategy projects.
- Reaching niche, hard-to-find B2B and B2C respondents across specific industries and geographies is difficult with standard panel providers.
- Manual data manipulation and analysis after fieldwork consumes significant consultant time that could be spent on higher-value work.
- Consulting and PE firms need defensible, primary data that can withstand client and investment scrutiny, which commodity survey tools cannot guarantee.
