StatsDrone Passes $1M in Funding as Demand Builds for Its New NousViz Platform news featured image

Montreal, Canada [June 1, 2026] — StatsDrone has surpassed $1 million USD in total funding, the affiliate business intelligence and CRM company said today. The platform helps affiliate businesses surface revenue opportunities and stop revenue leaks, and management frames the milestone as the start of its most promising phase yet rather than the finish line.

The raise coincides with the launch of NousViz, a data visualization and intelligence platform that turns complex data into decisions and one that is already drawing attention. NousViz debuted at the AffPapa Conference, winning the AffPapa Award for Affiliate Intelligence of the Year and strong interest from affiliates, operators, and tech partners. That momentum carried into NEXT.io Valletta, where the team met prospective partners looking for sharper intelligence and visualization tools.

Backers supporting StatsDrone include Dmitry Belianin (Co-founder of Blask), Dmitry Starostenkov (founder of Evenbet Gaming), Peter Mares (Co-Founder of Thrilltech), Maksim Afanasev (Rite.bet), Matthijs Vogelenzang (Exactplay) Oskar Kallenbach and Hampus Sjöstedt (Brooklake Group) and Chris Munz.

Co-founder and CEO John Wright said the market response had outstripped the company’s expectations, crediting a long-running product-led growth approach. “Teams can now build useful dashboards in minimal time — dashboards that actually get used and deliver insights,” he said. “Anyone in a company can build one, or have one built and shared with them.”

With AI, data aggregation, and business intelligence opening new opportunities across affiliate marketing and beyond, StatsDrone is now exploring strategic partnerships, commercial collaborations, and growth initiatives spanning product development, market adoption, and international expansion. Recent conversations, Wright said, have opened doors to scale faster and deliver more value to customers.
