A hub for all your user research
User Hero is a platform that organizes and centralizes user research. It lets teams collect studies, transcribe interviews, collaborate on notes, tag observations, and search insights all in one place. We also automate report generation and create visual summaries like rainbow charts so product teams can learn faster and build with clearer user feedback.
We're based in San Francisco, CA, with some remote team members. After YC, the company would remain headquartered in San Francisco.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where much of the product and design community we serve is located. It keeps us close to potential users and partners while supporting our remote collaboration.
