Our take

Designed to make product research and analyzing qualitative data faster and more thorough, Sprig (formerly UserLeap) is an AI-powered technology platform. Its tools are trusted by teams of 1 to 10,000, included a whole host of innovative companies, including Square, Dropbox and Adobe.

The company was conceived after a product manager noticed how difficult it was to obtain rich customer insights at a quick enough pace to help influence product 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. Users can deploy a range of their ‘micro surveys' to better understand their clients and access powerful AI analysis for video interviews.

Sprig has backing from top investors like az16 and Accel, and is using its 2022 funding to expand the service line, accelerate the roadmap and invest in more integrations and partnerships. This puts the company on track to continue its upwards trajectory, especially as it saw a revenue growth of 300% in 2022 alone.
