PostHog is an open-source, all-in-one Software-as-a-Service platform providing a comprehensive suite of developer tools—often referred to as a “Product OS”—that enables engineering and product teams to analyze user behavior and build better products. PostHog is designed for a technical audience, offering an integrated platform that combines product and web analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, and a built-in data warehouse, all with a strong emphasis on data ownership and control through its open-source and self-hosted options.
PostHog has joined the unicorn club after a $75 million Series E funding round, reaching a valuation of $1.4 billion. The round was led by Peak XV Partners, with contributions from existing investors.
PostHog, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, was founded in 2020 by James Hawkins and Tim Glaser. Commenting on Peak XV’s participation in the round, PostHog‘s co-founder and CEO, James Hawkins said, “Choosing Peak XV was about the people. In every meeting with Shailendra (Singh), he has come across as genuine, excitable, and hard working. Peak quickly proved themselves a delight to work with, and when we received an offer from them, we felt they were the best way for us to keep building. And that’s all that really matters to our users.”
