Project appears to be a defunct entity. Rasgo raised significant funding ($25M Series A, Insight Partners) in 2021 but PitchBook and other data sources indicate the company went 'Out of Business' or ceased active operations around July 2025. The submission contains extremely low-quality, hallucinatory claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'), which contradict the specialized B2B nature of the original tool. The 'Rasgo Graveyard' section in their documentation further confirms discontinuation of key features. Zero current real-world utility detected.

Description
After working with hundreds of data science teams, Rasgo's founders were dismayed by the failure rate of data science projects. They saw countless examples of organizations making substantial investments in data science teams and technologies, only to miss out on billions in opportunity value due to an inability to make data available to models. Thousands of data scientists complained that they were frustrated by spending months extracting, exploring, cleaning, joining, and transforming data for modeling -- We knew something had to change.\n\nRasgo is the feature store that is transforming how data scientists engineer, collaborate on, and operationalize Machine Learning features. Rasgo amplifies the impact of data science by enabling end-users to explore, clean, join, and transform data into highly curated ML features at 10x velocity.
