About Sapien

Sapien builds simulated populations that let companies test a decision before committing to it.

Our models are grounded in more than 100,000 first-person interviews and calibrated against actual transaction data. Sapien is a Y Combinator company (Summer 2025) headquartered in San Francisco.
