📝 Human Behavior raises $5M

News of the Day

Human Behavior, a four-month-old YC startup founded by 20-year-old Stanford dropout Amogh Chaturvedi and his co-founders Skyler Ji and Chirag Kawediya, has raised a $5 million seed round in just two days with backing from General Catalyst, Paul Graham, Vercel Ventures, and Y Combinator. The trio previously built and sold their first startup, Dough, an e-commerce accounting tool, before pivoting into analytics after customer feedback revealed a deeper need: understanding why users convert or churn. Human Behavior’s bet is that advances in vision AI make it possible to analyze session replays at scale, turning hours of video into actionable insights without tedious event tagging or click tracking. Early customers — mostly Series A and B startups — already receive automated daily summaries on feature usage, bugs, and churn, with the founders calling session replays an “untapped goldmine.” Their longer-term vision is to build a Datadog-style platform for behavioral analytics, where the same dataset could eventually power automated QA, IT support, and other products. By starting from scratch with computer vision rather than retrofitting old architectures, they believe they have a shot at outpacing incumbents like Mixpanel and PostHog.
