Ryan Smith co-founded Qualtrics in 2002 with the goal of making sophisticated research simple. As CEO, he has led the company from a basement startup to one of the fastest-growing technology companies, experiencing triple-digit growth in the past four years. Qualtrics is a worldwide leader in enterprise data collection and analysis with software that is easy enough for an intern, but sophisticated enough for a Ph.D. The company has more than 4,000 enterprise customers including 600 universities worldwide, all of the top business schools, and half the Fortune 100. Qualtrics has received $70 million in funding from Accel and Sequoia Capital, the largest joint investment ever by these two firms.
