OpenAI Set to Acquire Analytics Platform Statsig in $1.1 Billion Agreement

OpenAI announced today its definitive agreement to acquire Statsig, a product experimentation and analytics platform, for $1.1 billion.

The acquisition is a key move by the leader in artificial intelligence. It aims to add strong data tools to its system. This will help speed up the creation and launch of AI-based products.

Statsig, founded in February 2021, has rapidly established itself by providing a comprehensive suite of tools for product teams. Its platform empowers developers and product managers with capabilities ranging from A/B testing and feature flags to in-depth product analytics and session replays.

In a statement released today, Statsig expressed immense enthusiasm for the merger, describing the opportunity to join forces with OpenAI as a “no-brainer.” Since its inception, Statsig has been dedicated to putting powerful data tools into the hands of every engineering and product team. The company views this acquisition as the next logical step in its journey, allowing it to amplify its vision on a much larger scale.

The timing of the deal aligns with the explosive growth of artificial intelligence, a trend that has dominated the software industry since March 2021.

Statsig noted that by working closely with AI-native customers, they have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of AI in creating richer user experiences and streamlining development cycles.

By becoming part of OpenAI, the Statsig team aims to be at the forefront of this evolution, contributing directly to the tools that help teams ship smarter and faster in the age of AI.

For the thousands of companies relying on Statsig’s platform, the company has offered reassurance that its services will continue without interruption. A spokesperson confirmed that existing customers will remain a top priority, with ongoing investment in the core products they depend on.

Looking ahead, the integration of Statsig’s platform into OpenAI is expected to create a powerful synergy. The combination of OpenAI’s advanced AI models with Statsig’s sophisticated product analytics and experimentation tools could unlock new efficiencies for developers building on the OpenAI platform.

More details about the future direction of the combined entities are expected to be shared at Statsig’s upcoming conference, Sigsum. This acquisition signals a clear focus from OpenAI on not just advancing foundational AI models, but also on building a comprehensive ecosystem of developer tools to foster innovation.
