Is Leede Research Legit?

It is an established Minnesota research firm with a permanent facility, a published participant bill of rights and listings in major industry directories.

Leede Research FAQ

Where is Leede Research located?

Its research facility is on Gamble Drive in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, in the West End area just outside downtown Minneapolis. Some studies are run online, so not every project requires a visit.

How long do Leede Research focus groups last?

The company says focus groups typically run one to two hours. Online bulletin board studies can stretch over several days with short check-ins.

How do I stop receiving invitations?

Leede asks participants to email its team with their full name, phone number and address to be removed from the database.

Am I an employee if I take part?

No. Leede describes participation as an independent contractor arrangement, so the incentive is payment for your time, not wages.
