My analysis shows that PostHog buyers span both product and go-to-market leadership. Approximately 11% are Heads of Growth, 9% are Heads of Marketing, and 7% are Directors of Product. These leaders are focused on scaling their organizations rapidly, with multiple postings emphasizing moving from early traction to systematic growth engines. They're hiring for capabilities around experimentation, funnel optimization, and data-driven decision making, which suggests PostHog is purchased to enable this analytical rigor.
Day-to-day users are predominantly growth marketers, product managers, data analysts, and engineers who need to understand user behavior and optimize conversion. I noticed frequent mentions of using PostHog for funnel analysis, A/B testing, feature flag management, user session analysis, and tracking key metrics across acquisition, activation, and retention. Revenue operations and analytics engineers also appear as hands-on users, building dashboards and maintaining data pipelines that often include PostHog as a source.
The core pain point these companies face is making confident, data-driven decisions at speed. One posting seeks someone to "turn numbers into real business insights" while another needs "actionable insights for continuous enhancement in user experiences." Multiple roles emphasize the need to "identify hypotheses, prioritize based on business impact, execute rapid tests, and analyze outcomes." Companies want to "ship experiments to improve user time-to-value" and maintain "high-leverage processes" that enable teams to iterate quickly without drowning in manual analysis.

Shows how much more likely Posthog customers are to use each tool compared to the general population. For example, 287x means customers are 287 times more likely to use that tool.
I noticed something striking about Posthog users: they're overwhelmingly drinking their own champagne. The top correlations aren't just Posthog modules, they're adoption at rates over 1000x the baseline. This tells me these companies are deeply committed to a product analytics philosophy, not just using a single tool. They're building product-led growth engines where understanding user behavior isn't a nice-to-have but central to how they operate.
The pairing of Session Recording with Feature Flags is particularly revealing. These companies aren't just watching what users do, they're actively experimenting based on those insights. They observe sessions, spot friction points, ship feature flag experiments, and close the loop with User Surveys to validate hypotheses. This is the workflow of teams that ship fast and iterate based on evidence. The presence of JoinGround.com and Expertise.ai, both appearing at extremely elevated rates despite smaller absolute numbers, suggests these companies are also focused on talent operations and scaling their teams intelligently.
The full picture shows product-led companies in growth mode. They're not enterprise sales-led organizations with long implementation cycles. Instead, they're letting the product do the selling, using analytics to optimize conversion funnels and retention metrics. The heavy use of session recordings and feature flags indicates they're still in active product-market fit refinement, probably Series A through C stage where they've found initial traction but need to optimize their way to the next level.

I noticed that Posthog users span an incredibly diverse range of industries, but there's a clear pattern: these companies are building technology products or using technology as a core competitive advantage. They're not just traditional businesses with websites. They're building SaaS platforms (UI Bakery, Assembly, Estuary), AI-powered tools (Deco, AdsGency AI, Composite), marketplaces (Bloom, EatFirst), developer infrastructure (Fleetbase, QuestDB), and consumer apps. Even the non-tech companies like law firms and logistics providers are described through their technology innovations rather than traditional services.
The funding data tells a clear story: these are predominantly early-stage, venture-backed companies. I see lots of pre-seed (Bloom, Ayd, Lexius), seed (Superframe, AdsGency AI, Dialogue AI), and Series A companies (Assembly, Kaedim, Hyperbound). Employee counts cluster heavily in the 2-50 range. Even the larger companies like Crossover or Sage represent the minority. Most are actively building, iterating, and scaling their first products.
