SlashData

SlashData is a market research and analyst firm that surveys developers on which software tools and platforms they adopt, abandon and why. Its signature survey, the State of the Developer Nation, runs twice a year with more than 11,000 developers per wave.

Customers are technology companies, including hyperscalers, chip vendors and open source foundations, and their product, platform and engineering leaders. The firm sells research services such as competitive benchmarking, market landscape analysis, customer satisfaction studies, pricing strategy and custom surveys, and it also produces co-branded reports and free reports.

SlashData was created in 2005 as VisionMobile, a mobile industry analyst firm, and launched the Developer Nation research series by 2010. The website describes the company as remote first, with team members across many countries, and lists no office addresses. Two open roles are advertised, a People Operations Executive and a Growth Marketer and Community Builder, both remote within Europe.

Product: Developer surveys, free research reports and custom market research (benchmarking, landscape analysis, pricing strategy, customer satisfaction)
