History
Launched in August 2009, the site was founded by Clark Benson, who created Ranker as an alternative to user reviews available on ecommerce sites.[6] Ranker offers crowdsourced polls and lists across a variety of topics, including rankings of food, drinks, and celebrities. "Ranker Insights" offers people voting correlation data for free, using psychographic correlation data to deliver personalized consumer recommendations ("if you like X, you'll also like Y, Z"), and also audience insights to marketers, studios, and platforms seeking a deeper understanding of consumer tastes and preferences.[7]
Ranker's board members include Draper Associates investor Joel Yarmon. Investors include Draper Associates, Rincon Venture Partners, Lowercase Capital, Wavemaker, BullPen Capital and various angels, like Factual founder Gil Elbaz and Ryan Steelberg.[7]
