## About

Research recruitment platform connecting companies with vetted participants for paid user research interviews, surveys, and focus groups.

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. A community submission in July 2026 found the platform itself is reachable, but Syria cannot be selected in the study location field, and no outreach has been made yet.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-07-28 — Evidence Added (Community Updates). A founding submission and its screenshot showed the Respondent platform itself is reachable from Syria, but Syria cannot be selected in the study location targeting field, which returns no matching results.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
