By building Rep Data's panel-validation infrastructure around fraud detection and transparent methodology, Patrick Stokes landed on the Inc. 5000 while solving a problem most of the industry prefers to ignore: the corrupted data supply chain quietly undermining both market research and AI training.
Patrick Stokes founded Rep Data, a market research technology company providing online panel and sampling services to research agencies, corporate insights teams, and academic researchers.
The business is built around panel validation, proprietary quality controls, and methodology documentation aimed at countering fraud and AI-generated respondents in online research. Rep Data made the 2025 Inc. 5000 list.
