Community-powered insights for smarter decision making
Who we are
Weaverbirds is a community intelligence company. We deliver continuous insights from hard-to-reach communities across the Global South, quickly and affordably
We aim to make insights
Available
Community insights should be affordable for all, and free wherever possible. By gathering responses in the ways people naturally communicate, through text, voice, and images, we capture colour and nuance at scale, with the efficiency to put better understanding in the hands of everyone working in these markets
Accessible
Data only creates change when people can use it. Our insights are delivered through interactive dashboards, data storytelling, and reports, so every stakeholder, from field teams to boardrooms, has the right tool for the decisions in front of them
With two-way value
The communities who share with us must benefit directly. We build fairly rewarded panels across the Global South, compensating participants through mobile money and airtime, and sharing personalised insights back through an interactive chatbot, helping communities track their progress, ask questions, and receive tailored recommendations with clear guardrails in place
Everyday platforms, advanced intelligence
Conversations happen on the mobile platforms communities already use; analysis happens through AI with human-in-the-loop review, so the insights are both authentic and reliable
From data to decisions
Our insights help partners track brand health, measure impact, and monitor portfolio performance. Data storytelling turns insights into powerful narratives, while forecasting lets partners test assumptions and explore what comes next
Data Access
Quick, affordable and scalable research, polls and surveys to learn directly from hard-to-reach populations
Storytelling
Community insights are used to power data stories, combining narrative, human voice and insights in a format accessible by everyone
Forecasting
Our proprietary modelling lets clients test assumptions and explore possible outcomes, grounded in real community data
Insights informed by millions of interactions across themes and markets, delivering continuous, high-frequency, representative understanding of hard-to-reach populations
Powering decisions across markets
Weaverbirds is used across Africa and LATAM, in the public and private sector, trusted by leading companies, researchers, foundations and investors
“At Ampersand, we collect hundreds of data points from our bikes every minute, but we recognize the need to better understand our riders. Weaverbirds enables us to regularly gather Net Promoter Score-style insights from our moto drivers, keeping us informed about what they appreciate and where we can improve. These insights are crucial as we continue our mission to electrify urban mobility across Africa.”
