Statsig is a Modern Product Experimentation platform that, unlike other A/B testing tools, tracks the impact of every single feature release thereby quantifying impact of all efforts. The “observability” nature of Statsig lets teams catch metric drops within hours of launching features, divest quickly on features that aren’t working, and invest more on the ones that do. The team behind Statsig comes from Facebook and is rebuilding the entire set of data tools infrastructure that powered all of Facebook’s growth in the last decade.Companies like Notion, Flipkart, Ancestry, Whatnot and OpenSea use Statsig to power their modern stack and have shown marked increase in product velocity since adoption.Initial Investment2021Statsig is a Modern Product Experimentation platform that, unlike other A/B testing tools, tracks the impact of every single feature release thereby quantifying impact of all efforts.
