Our Why

Our work is about enabling a society where all people are welcome, and all voices are heard. We base our research on representative data by inviting as many perspectives as possible. We believe in Asking Everyone. Because representative data is not only democratic, it also leads to accurate and trustworthy insights.

Background

Perspetivo was founded in 2022 by Suzan Hourieh Lindberg who came from Volvo Car Mobility, David Khabbazi from Stockholm Municipality, and Zilan Lawan, VP of the soccer team Dalkurd. Combined they have backgrounds in statistics, communication, anthropology, political science, psychology, leadership development, tech, and business development. Perspetivo is originated by The Social Few, a strategic partner for data-driven inclusion.

The journey started when the founders of Perspetivo identified a market and societal imperfection: important decisions are based on unreliable data that does not reflect the entire population.

Historically, there have been parts of the population that have been considered, and still are considered, difficult to reach. This has resulted in the survey industry traditionally only including voices from the majority society. At the same time, we see a rapid change in the Swedish demographics.

Did you know that every fourth Swede has two foreign-born parents, that Arabic is the largest minority language in Sweden, and that minorities have a yearly purchasing power of 400 billion SEK? These are just some of the perspectives that are rarely included in research.

At Perspetivo, we know that companies and organisations need representative data and insights to make important decisions that impact not only the company itself but also society at large. Today, Perspetivo is the most representative research company in the Nordics, that helps organisations become more effective in their decision-making by including more voices.

Team Perspetivo

At Perspetivo, we are proud of being a diverse team with team members that come from different industries, disciplines, and parts of the world. Collectively, we speak 14 languages (so far) and we value high perspective density among the team.

"Measurable social sustainability is not only necessary to meet sustainability goals, but it is also a key factor for long-term business success. By providing reliable data and insights, we not only help our clients achieve their goals but also create better conditions for other stakeholders to make more accurate risk assessments," says Ella Schauman, CFO at Perspetivo.
“We have noticed a common misconception among potential clients: that certain demographic questions are illegal to ask. However, in Sweden, there are no specific restrictions on the questions that can be asked, provided that the relevant laws and regulations are followed,” says Olivia Hansson, gender studies expert and client lead for Equality Data.
Being only two years old and having such strong brands as clients is truly a privilege. Our clients are not only leaders but also pioneers in their respective industries. Why, you ask? Let me share the challenges we've faced, and you'll understand why our clients deserve nothing but praise.
