It started with a simple need: people wanted real, on-the-ground information without physically being there. But turning that vision into reality? That was the real test. Imagine trying to validate store conditions in another state or check a site’s readiness miles away. Users were stuck—either burning fuel, money, and hours on the road or relying on outdated or inaccurate third-party info.
Conversations revealed more than just logistical headaches. One user shared how they’d often wait days for local verification from contacts, only to get blurry photos and half-baked updates.
Another mentioned how paying someone for a simple verification task became a negotiation nightmare, often more expensive than doing it themselves. The lack of structured task delegation, trust-based reward systems, and real-time feedback was leaving users frustrated and out of options.
CrowdSearched knew they had to reimagine the way people gather data—by turning to the power of the crowd.
