The SurveyMonkey Story

SurveyMonkey was founded in 1999 by Ryan Finley. The platform provides subscription-based survey solutions, making it easy for people and teams to create surveys, collect responses, and analyze results.

Spectrum acquired a controlling stake in SurveyMonkey in 2009. We worked to recruit a new leadership team and board members, complete several acquisitions, expand the company’s offerings globally, launch new products, and exponentially grow its customer base. The company went public in 2018, and by 2023, it reported millions of users at more than 330,000 organizations worldwide.
