SEATTLE, WA, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discuss, the leading AI-powered market insights platform, and Voxco, a global leader in quantitative research, today announced their merger to form a unified organization dedicated to shaping the future of human understanding. Supported by growth investment firm Terminus Capital Partners, the combined company brings together qualitative depth, quantitative scale, and AI innovation across 200+ employees in 16 countries, serving 900 customers worldwide.
The combined company will operate under the Discuss brand, chosen to reflect a shared commitment to genuine human understanding and dialogue in research. The name represents what both teams value most: empathy, connection, and conversation at the heart of every decision.
Under the new structure, Daniel Graff-Radford, former Voxco CEO, will serve as CEO of Discuss. Simon Glass, former Discuss CEO, will serve as an advisor to the business.
A New Chapter for Research
“Researchers have been forced to choose between legacy giants that move like glaciers and new AI point solutions that have yet to scale globally,” said Daniel Graff-Radford, CEO of Discuss. “We’re ending the trade-off. Discuss has an extraordinary ability to turn curiosity into clarity. Seeing that capability up close made me certain this was the right foundation to pair with Voxco for what comes next.”
“It’s rare to find such perfect harmony between companies as we see with Discuss, Voxco, and Ascribe,” said Alex Western, Managing Partner at Terminus Capital Partners. “Together, they form the foundation of a new era for researchers where the qualitative depth of human understanding meets the quantitative power of data, all amplified by AI.”
“We set out to prove that technology could deepen human understanding, not replace it,” added Simon Glass, former CEO and advisor to Discuss. “Now, together with Voxco, that conviction becomes the foundation for an entirely new kind of company that protects the human context and delivers speed where it helps.”
