What Minro does

Minro helps companies stay close to their users as they scale. Today, most startups have thousands of product events flowing through tools like PostHog, but still have no real understanding of who their users actually are, which users are quietly about to churn, or what outreach actually brings them back. Founders care deeply about their users, but staying close to them becomes operationally impossible very quickly. Minro plugs directly into a company’s analytics stack and turns product activity into living customer intelligence. We enrich every user with context like their company, role, LinkedIn/GitHub/Twitter, background, and likely use case, currently matching users to the correct online identity with ~80% accuracy starting from just name + email. We then identify which users are most likely to churn based on behavioral patterns, persona similarity, and historical retention signals, and help founders proactively reach out before those users disappear. Minro drafts highly contextual founder-style outreach, tracks which conversations actually convert into retention, and continuously improves the system over time. The result is a customer intelligence and retention layer that helps companies understand their users better, build stronger relationships, and reduce churn before it happens.

Identify churn risk and stay close to users at scale

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

Minro connects to a company's product analytics to turn raw user events into detailed, actionable customer intelligence. We identify which users are likely to churn and automate founder-style outreach to retain them. The system helps companies understand who their users really are, what their roles and backgrounds are, and why they use the product. Then it tracks what outreach works to prevent churn and improves over time.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We both live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live, and staying here keeps us close to other startups and potential customers in SaaS and product analytics, which is the space we're building for.
