# Poth Labs

> Poth Labs is a San Francisco startup building an AI-native customer research platform. Poth connects to a company's scattered customer data - analytics, call transcripts, support tickets, surveys, CRM notes - and unifies it into a searchable model of the customer. It then generates hypotheses about why users behave the way they do, and validates them using existing data plus adaptive interviews that adjust to each response. The goal is to move product, growth, and leadership teams past knowing what users did toward understanding why. Founded in 2026 by ex-Palantir engineer Matthew Wong and ex-Tietoevry engineer Mojmir Horvath, Poth Labs is part of Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch.
