About Studio
Summary
Studio builds market simulation software for consumer-facing brands in CPG and QSR. It constructs living models of interconnected audience segments from real consumer-behavior data, then runs every version of a launch decision, such as price, placement, or promotion, through those models to forecast which choice maximizes adoption, trust, and repeat purchase. The product replaces traditional survey research and test-and-learn cycles with pre-launch simulation across hundreds of consumer cohorts.
Business model
Enterprise contracts with large consumer brands.
Go-to-market
Large consumer-facing brands are the target customer, reached through a sales-led motion anchored by a demo booking flow on the website.

Engineer the future
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 evidence. Our predictions match live KPI outcomes like revenue and sentiment with over 95% accuracy for large consumer-facing brands.
