What our partners are saying
If it weren’t for The Bright Initiative, I would have never done this project or at least of this scale. I would have had to collect all this information by hand, which is completely impractical. However, I’ve got the public web data now, and when my research is complete, it will be able to paint a pretty representative picture of the competitiveness of the US real estate market for everyone and anyone who is interested – benefiting consumers in the long-run and holding brokerage firms accountable to keeping the market competitive.
Jason Beck, Academic Economist, Georgia Southern University
The density of information that we can reveal through Bright Data’s platform, thanks to The Bright Initiative, is much bigger than the density of information that we can reveal from the alternatives. And so, it is really qualitatively and quantitatively a big jump in terms of how much visibility we gain for our research.

I’d like to thank you for the session on ethical considerations surrounding bots and data. It challenged me to be inquisitive about the data sector and help me bridge my understanding of the social sciences.

It’s great to see how valuable Associates found the session and how useful it was in introducing them to and educating them on the subject! Thanks so much again for your involvement and your commitment to supporting our Associates.
Minna Gabbertas, Technology Partnerships Manager, upReach
A pleasure to have worked with The Bright Initiative and Microsoft, educating King’s future tech and data professionals on the ethics of data and automation at King’s Careers & Employability

Our experience with The Bright Initiative has been excellent. With full documentation and technical support, we’re able to conduct our research on cyberattacks and contribute to the community in regards to privacy and security.

I really found the recent session engaging and I learnt more than I hoped!

The recent webinar was an excellent introduction to the field of data collection and our students really enjoyed it. It would be great to dive even deeper next time and get a more technical view on things and see more examples of use cases etc.
Prof. Hugh Shanahan on behalf of Royal Holloway and Oxford University
I think the recent session was highly informative; learning about what bots are and the ethical issues surrounding them.

I took part in the King’s College London’s Internships Insights Programme for 2021. This Business Opportunity Accelerator project connected me to five excellent KCL students to work as Business Consultants for Bright Data as part of The Bright Initiative. We performed market research analysis & delivered a comprehensive report showcasing strategies for new sector growth for the company. I’d like to thank The Bright Initiative by Bright Data for the helpful feedback & continuous support throughout the project.
