About Studio
YC company profile
Accurately simulate market response at scale
Studio is a simulation lab studying how humans and societies respond to new ideas, and is building the first software models that can accurately predict that response. Instead of creating digital twins of survey respondents, Studio builds live market models of interconnected audience segments from real, traceable consumer-behavior data. Our simulations match live KPI outcomes like revenue and purchase behavior with over 97% accuracy for consumer-facing enterprises, higher than any synthetic panel, simulation lab, or traditional market research.
