FA Company Spotlight: Statsig
In 2021, Vijaye Raji walked away from Facebook, not because he had to, but because he knew he could. After a decade scaling the tech equivalent of the Roman Empire, where experimentation wasn't just encouraged, it was engineered into the DNA, Raji saw what most teams couldn't: they were flying blind, shipping in the dark, chasing gut instead of signal. So he built Statsig in Bellevue, Washington, not as a startup, but as a statement.
Statsig isn't a tool. It's an operating system for product velocity. Feature flags? Sure. Experiments? Of course. Analytics? Mandatory. Session replay? It's in there. But the magic isn’t in the menu. It’s in the integration. This thing hums like a Tesla drivetrain. One click, one pipeline, one source of truth, governed, secure, real-time, and warehouse-native. Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, Statsig doesn’t ask for your data, it works where your data lives.
The traction? Let’s talk brass tacks. $40 million ARR. 99.99% uptime. One trillion events processed daily. Customers like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Notion aren’t buying features, they’re betting on reliability at scale. Statsig delivers with sub-millisecond gate evals and Bayesian brains wrapped in enterprise skin. This isn’t experimentation-as-a-service, this is infrastructure.
The team? Tight, in-person, high-tempo. No Sacred Cats. Results over effort. For Builders, By Builders. William da Cunha joined as CRO in December 2024 after leading Cloudflare’s Americas sales. Jeanie G., ex-Trade Desk and ExtraHop, runs legal with precision. Engineers don’t hide behind product managers, they walk into customer calls, pull logs, and ship fixes. Fast.
Statsig’s rise tracks a broader shift: SaaS sprawl is dead. Point tools are bloat. AI’s eating workflows, and companies need signal, not screenshots. As Datadog swallows Eppo by Datadog and product teams stare down a fragmented tech stack, Statsig is betting that platform beats point every time.
$153 million raised. $1.1 billion valuation. And they’re hiring across engineering, product, sales, and legal. If you want in, don’t wait. Statsig is moving. The question is whether you’re watching, or building.
