Leicester founder Gary Beckwith, a former participant in the Leicester Startups Accelerator, has announced the official launch of Gobby, a platform introducing what he calls “qualitative‑first surveys”.

Gary described the launch as “a huge milestone” for a project that has been years in the making. Gobby focuses on capturing lived experience, social value and co‑production through richer, more human‑centred feedback tools, with an aim to move beyond traditional tick‑box surveys.

He invited supporters and early adopters to explore the platform, share feedback and help shape its next phase of development.
