On September 2, 2025, Statsig announced that it has signed an agreement to join OpenAI. For those of us in the analytics and experimentation space, this is more than an M&A headline — it’s a signal of where the industry is headed.
Why This Matters
Since its launch in 2021, Statsig has evolved from a feature flagging and experimentation platform into a full-stack product analytics solution. Their tools have been adopted by teams at Atlassian, Notion, Brex, and Bloomberg, among thousands of others.
Now, by joining OpenAI, Statsig is embedding experimentation and analytics into the very heart of AI’s rapid growth. And that’s significant:
- AI accelerates output. Teams can generate code, content, and product iterations faster than ever.
- But volume isn’t the same as progress. Without experimentation, companies risk shipping faster without learning faster.
- The competitive edge comes from learning. The ability to measure, test, and adapt in real time is what separates scaling teams from those left behind.
The Shift Ahead
The acquisition highlights a clear direction for the future of experimentation:
🤖 Automation of routine tasks — things like setup, analysis, and reporting will become increasingly AI-driven.
🎯 Focus on higher-order decisions — interpretation, strategy, and business impact will be where human expertise shines.
📈 Experimentation as a non-negotiable — in an AI-driven world, running structured experiments isn’t optional. It’s the foundation for sustainable growth.
Our Take at Adasight
At Adasight, we see this as validation of what we’ve believed for years: data and experimentation are central to scaling growth.
We help teams:
- Build the right tracking foundations.
- Set up experimentation systems that adapt to AI-driven speed.
- Translate results into action for revenue impact.
The AI era doesn’t make experimentation obsolete — it makes it indispensable. And acquisitions like this one prove that the biggest players know it too.
What’s Next
Statsig has confirmed that it will continue to support its existing customers and invest in its core products. The real opportunity lies in how OpenAI and Statsig together will shape experimentation for the next generation of builders.
One thing is clear: we’re entering a new chapter where AI and experimentation aren’t parallel tracks — they’re converging.
