Kleiner Perkins-backed voice AI startup Keplar aims to replace traditional market research

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-10-25 17:54:17

These services come with a hefty price tag and often take weeks to complete. Keplar, a market research startup, uses voice AI to conduct customer interviews, providing clients with analysis much faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional research consulting firms.

For many hopeful entrepreneurs, founding a successful company is a ticket to the top, the lofty promise of fame and fortune. Yet for a growing number of up-and-coming AI executives, a successful tech startup is the end in itself — not a step toward luxury, but a rejection of it. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the newest class of young founders flocking to the Bay Area are eschewing the frivolities enjoyed by their peers in favor of a proudly minimalist, monk-like existence.
