Founded in 2007 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Wakoopa has become the
world’s leading supplier of passive metering technology on three
screens (pc, tablet, smartphone). Wakoopa unlocks high quality
behavioral data. We empower the consumer insights industry with the best
tracking technology and the most powerful data distribution models. And
we offer consumers the best user experience.
Researchers can
track and analyze the digital footprint of consumers across three
devices. We help our customers create user centric, single source,
behavioral datasets. The captured data includes all the websites, search
terms, advertising (pc) and apps (mobile) consumers interact with.
Wakoopa powered behavioral data fuels innovative research designs in
over 20 markets globally. Use cases include consumer journeys,
segmentation and audience measurement.
We work with a modern
technology stack that is adapted to the unique engineering problems we
aim to solve. Our applications are written in Ruby and Go. For our
infrastructure needs we try and use as much from Amazon Web Services as
is available, or build it ourselves. The processing of the large amounts
of data we receive is handled by Hadoop and Hive.

is a fast growing company from Amsterdam. We have developed a research
