About PostHog
PostHog makes your product self-driving. Hand off issues, the analysis, and the grunt work, and put your time where it counts – figuring out what customers want and shipping it.
PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. With a full suite of developer tools – AI observability, product analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, error tracking, logs, and more – PostHog captures all the context agents need to diagnose problems, uncover opportunities, and ship fixes. A data warehouse and CDP tie it all together, unifying that context into one source agents can read across. You can steer it all from Slack, the web app, the desktop ( PostHog Desktop), or your own editor via the MCP.
Founded in January 2020 by James Hawkins and Tim Glaser, PostHog was a member of Y Combinator's Winter 2020 batch, and has subsequently raised $182M in funding from Stripe, GV, Y Combinator, and notable angel investors including Jason Warner (CTO, GitHub), Solomon Hykes (Founder, Docker), and others.
