Origin Story

By James Hawkins & Tim Glaser

The Problem

Product teams needed analytics, session recordings, feature flags, and A/B testing but had to use 4-5 separate tools. Also, sending product data to third-party analytics felt wrong.

Building It

Founded in 2020. Y Combinator backed. Grew rapidly through open-source adoption and a generous free tier. One of the fastest-growing open-source analytics tools.

What It Means

The entire product analytics stack — consolidated into one open-source tool you can self-host.

The Dream

To be the single platform every product team uses for understanding and improving their product.
