Why aren't you dogfooding?! Everyone at PostHog dogfoods (or hogfoods?) our product. Why? It helps us ship faster by getting lots of internal feedback. It helps us spot problems early and fix them. It motivates us! If your product is good, it improves team confidence. If it's bad, we're motivated to make it better. It means we deeply understand our product. And, as a result, we can fix cross-functional issues quickly. It gives us empathy. If we find something annoying, we know our users will to.

Product analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, data warehouse, CDP, surveys. PostHog does that.
About us
At PostHog, we're working to increase the number of successful products in the world. Until now, tools for building products have been fragmented. Product analytics, heatmaps, session recording, feature flags, and A/B testing are all helpful, but no one wants to buy, send data to, and integrate multiple products. PostHog offers these tools (and more) in an integrated, open source platform which can be hosted in either the US or EU. Both versions are SOC2 certified, GDPR-ready, and HIPAA compliant. We started PostHog during Y Combinator's W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on Hacker News since 2012 - with a product that was just 4 weeks old. With over 100,000 users, we're default alive, growing 97% through word of mouth, and we are in the top 0.01% most popular repos on GitHub.

"HeadshotPro was so successful it’s become my main focus," says founder Danny Postma. "I’ve started to build a team around it and that’s where our need for product analytics came from — I needed one source of truth for both marketing and developers to share.” Enter PostHog's shiny new data warehouse... “Honestly, my advice to new users would be: pull in everything you can," says Danny. "Avoid the clutter and the platform switching. Get it all into PostHog and it makes it so much easier to work with.”

This is what startup recruiters actually see when you apply for a job. Warning: it's not pretty. When (good) startups hire, they get a lot of applicants. In the last 12 months, we received over 9,000 applications, or an average of 460 applicants per role. All of these are fed into an applicant tracking system like Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever. These are designed for speed, not to make you look good. Here's how to maximize your chances of getting an interview – it's not rocket science: 1. Write a short and obviously personalized cover letter 2. Keep your CV simple and up-to-date 3. If you can, get a proper, warm referral
