About Haus

Haus is a first of its kind decision science platform for the new digital privacy paradigm where data sharing and PII is restricted. Haus uses frontier causal inference based econometric models to run experiments and help brands understand how the actions they take in marketing, pricing and promotions impact the bottom line. Our team is comprised of former product managers, economists and engineers from Google, Netflix, Amazon and Meta who saw how costly it is to support high-quality decision science tooling and incrementality testing. Our mission is to make this technology available to all businesses, where all the heavy lifting of experiment design, data cleaning, and analysis/insights are taken care of for you. Haus is working with well known brands like FanDuel, Sonos, and Hims & Hers, and has seen more than 30x ROI by running experiments and helping brands make more profitable decisions. We are backed by top VCs like Insight Partners, 01 Advisors, Baseline Ventures, and Haystack.

Company Values

The point of our values is to help our team make difficult choices.

Aim high: We choose lofty goals that might fail over safe goals that always succeed.

Block the puck: We prioritize our team’s success over our own individual comfort.

Communicate directly: We all give feedback to each other, not just managers to reports.

Done is better than perfect: We take small inexact steps rather than large impeccable leaps.

Experiment: We try new ideas rather than repeating known formulas.
