Our take
Effective A/B testing, where data science teams build and compare the performance of two versions of an app, is crucial for optimizing user experiences and driving product improvements. However, building the infrastructure for it can be complex. Eppo simplifies this by offering a platform that automates experiment analysis, diagnostics, and investigations, all in one place.
The company was created by Chetan Sharma, a former data scientist at Airbnb and Webflow, who was the need of a better commercial solution to avoid rebuilding A/B testing systems from scratch. Their experience led to the creation of Eppo.
Launched in mid-2022 with funding from Menlo Ventures, Eppo now competes with companies like Split and Optimizely. And aims to stand out by offering better performance through advanced analysis tools and AI-powered experimentation.
