Orgin[edit]

Queritel was co-founded in 2016 by Shani Bennett and Kevonne Martin while at the University of the West Indies (UWI), as Law and Marketing Majors. The company was originally named Research Aid Plus and targeted students with research assignments as its customer segment. In February 2018 the company released its second version of its web-based platform to serve its new target market; businesses and entrepreneurs.[3]

Operation[edit]

Queritel Business[edit]

Queritel business allows customers to have market, legal and industry queries answered by local experts or researchers. Customers send out tasks and receive bids from pre-screened providers. According to Bennett, "what sometimes happens is that our contractors actually bid for jobs and the client may opt for one or the other, depending on that researcher's rating."[4] By providing this small data, companies are best poised to take advantage of business opportunities.
