About the company
PostHog makes products self-driving. It's the only platform that acts like a co-pilot for you (and your AI agents) to do it all – autonomously. We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including PostHog Desktop, a built-in data warehouse, and PostHog AI.
We are product-led, default alive, and well-funded. More than 450,000 organizations have installed PostHog. We've raised more than $180m from top investors.
