Expert Network Surveys Healthcare
Overview
Atheneum, founded in Berlin in 2010, is a global expert network delivering interviews and end-to-end survey research through nine offices running follow-the-sun coverage in 60+ languages. It promises expert matches within 24 hours and pairs qualitative calls with fully managed quantitative studies. For European VCs — and anyone underwriting healthcare or technology deals — it is a credible, somewhat cheaper counterweight to the US-centric mega-networks.
