Jobs to be done · Find white space
Find the unmet needs your category is begging for
Stop guessing where the white space is. Simporter clusters millions of unprompted consumer signals into ranked demand spaces, so you can see the opportunities competitors haven’t noticed yet.
The biggest opportunities are invisible in a survey.
Consumers can’t tell you what they wish existed if you don’t already know to ask. The needs that create new categories live in unprompted language — and they’re easy to miss until a competitor builds them.
Whitespace, surfaced and ranked from real demand
We analyze what consumers say unprompted, at scale, and cluster it into demand spaces ranked by share of voice. The gaps your current portfolio doesn’t serve become obvious — and prioritized.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find unmet consumer needs?
+
By analyzing millions of unprompted consumer conversations — reviews, search, social — and clustering them into demand spaces ranked by share of voice, then overlaying your portfolio to expose what is unserved.
What is the difference between an unmet need and white space?
+
An unmet need is a consumer demand that is poorly served; white space is the unmet need your brand or category does not yet address. Simporter surfaces both and prioritizes them.
How is this better than a trends report?
+
Trends tell you what is rising; unmet-needs analysis tells you what consumers actually want and how big the gap is, backed by real verbatims — actionable for innovation, not just awareness.
How fast can we see opportunities?
+
A ranked opportunity map in days, as the first stage of a six-week insight-to-concept sprint.
Can you focus on a specific segment or occasion?
+
Yes — analysis can be scoped to a category, segment, occasion, or market.
