What you'll
actually
get
Credits are the headline, but the program comes with perks from partners we use ourselves. Here's the full haul:
$50,000 of PostHog
That's a lot of events, replays, API calls, and survey responses.
$1,000 of founder swag
You can never have too many laptop stickers or free PostHog t-shirts.
$1,500 off Incident.io
Incidents happen. Get $1,500 off a teams plan when they do.
50% off with Speakeasy
Build MCPs & skills with Speakeasy and get 50% off for 6 months.
$5,000 of Chroma credit
Chroma's search infra for AI is fast, serverless, and scalable.
$5,000 of Depot credit
Blazing-fast container builds and remote caching, trusted by us.
Build a
self-driving product
with PostHog
Building products used to mean manually writing code, running analysis, diagnosing bugs, and rolling out changes across a bloated stack of tools. PostHog is the only platform that does it all for you autonomously while still keeping everything at your fingertips.
Centralize your context
Query third-party sources and your product data together in one warehouse – no more copy-pasting into a chat window.
Deploy an army of AI scouts
Scouts watch your product around the clock and deliver triaged reports to your PostHog inbox, so you can one-click fix.
Chat with the best AI agent
Figure out what users are actually doing, with context across your product, support, billing, and CRM.
Ship fixes collaboratively
The PostHog Slack agent drafts pull requests for you while you're still sharing memes.

How far does
$50,000
go?
A
very
long way. Here's what your credits are worth if you spent them all in one place, but you can mix and match them across most PostHog products. The exceptions are AI tools such as PostHog Desktop, Replay Vision, PostHog AI, and Inbox, which credits can't be used for. Otherwise we're not fussy. We just want you to spend the money.
950 million
events (yes, nearly a billion)
6 million+
session recordings
840 million+
LLM analytics events
396 million
error tracking events
Everything you (and our agents)
can use
PostHog has over a dozen tools you can use however you want. Use any and all of them in our app, via MCP, or in Slack.

word for it
"Building is never just one-and-done. You always need to find ways to improve.
PostHog is central to how we do that at Y Combinator.
It helps us try ideas, measure results and make better products."
Cat Li
– Product & Engineering Lead, Y Combinator
"Our portfolio companies rely on analytics to optimize their products.
Understanding user behavior through platforms like PostHog is mission-critical.
The insights it provides are invaluable for founders."
Oliver Kicks
