Built by Researchers,
for Researchers
We believe the future of qualitative research is AI-assisted, human-validated, and completely transparent.
Our Story
Dr. Sarah Chen
Founder & CEO
It started with a dissertation.
Three years into a PhD, the reality of qualitative analysis hit: 47 interview transcripts, hundreds of pages, and months of manual coding ahead.
So we built Theoros — the tool we wished existed.
A tool that respects the intellectual tradition of qualitative research while harnessing the pattern-recognition power of AI. Where the human researcher remains the meaning-maker. Where every decision is documented. Where rigor and speed finally coexist.
“I knew there had to be a better way. But every AI tool I tried was either a black box that my committee would never accept, or so simplified it was not actually useful for real research.”
What We Believe
Transparency over Magic
AI should explain itself. Every suggestion comes with reasoning you can evaluate.
Partnership over Replacement
We're here to amplify your expertise, not replace your judgment.
Rigor over Speed
Faster is only better if it's also trustworthy. We never sacrifice quality for time.
The People Behind Theoros
We're a small team of researchers, engineers, and designers who believe qualitative research deserves better tools.
