Ehsan's Growth Analysis
PostHog is the anti-enterprise analytics play: transparent pricing, open source code, and a culture that developers love. Their product-led blog generates more traffic per employee than any company I track. The lesson: in DevTools, authenticity and transparency are distribution channels.
