Our take
Designed to make product research and qualitative data analysis both faster and more thorough, Sprig is an AI-powered UX research platform. Its tools are trusted by teams of 1 to 10,000, included a whole host of innovative companies such as Square, Dropbox and Adobe.
Initially founded as "UserLeap", the company was conceived after a product manager found it difficult to obtain customer insights at a quick enough pace to influence development. What makes Sprig unique is that its research is continuous and in-the-moment, meaning product managers can see their customer insights at all times.
Sprig has backing from top investors like az16 and Accel, which has allowed it to accelerate its roadmap and invest in more integrations and partnerships. This puts the company in a great position moving forwards as it seeks to further grow its revenue and reach.
