About GrowthBookHere at GrowthBook we are building an open source A/B testing platform and transforming the way product decisions are made.

Top companies already know this, and test everything they ship. As these methods spread, A/B testing will increasingly be part of all product development processes, and will require a new set of tools which are highly integrated and customized to the product and data.
