James Hawkins

James Hawkins is the co-founder and co-CEO of PostHog, the open-source product analytics platform built for engineers. He pivoted five times inside Y Combinator's W20 batch before landing on PostHog, then turned a Hacker News launch and a single tweet into a developer cult following and a $1.4 billion valuation. A former marketing operator and self-described 'very bad developer,' Hawkins runs PostHog on radical transparency, tiny autonomous teams, and a refusal to be boring.
