Number 5

E-commerce Technology, Digital Product Management, and Growth Hacking with a strong emphasis on analytics and the scientific process. That is the short version of Number 5. Put simply, it is about moving data between systems on a schedule without hand-built scripts.

It makes the most sense for data and ops teams. Alongside the main category they mention Big Data, Blockchain, Cannabis, Cryptocurrency and E-Commerce. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Number 5 is based in Los Angeles, California and around since 2011. More on number5.com.

If you have worked with Number 5, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
