Meet the team
Founded with empathy in Lab B.
Potato started as an open source project and has grown ever since.
One of the hardest parts of research is collecting data. In the B Lab of a university in Michigan, many NLP researchers found themselves creating tools to collect this research, using minimal web forms and templating tools. Researchers would struggle to collect accurate data without huge amounts of timesinks into their schedules. Instead of focusing on marketting themselves, they were figuring out how to get their friends a turn on their laptop. Potato was then created by David Jurgens in efforts to minimize development of data collection tools. David created a collective effort of researchers all working to make the best papers, no longer worrying about data collection. Now, researchers across various schools and industry professionals use the platform to much success. With services like Prolific and Mechanical Turk, Potato seeks to be the last data collection platfrom you will ever need!
