What Userlens does

Most B2B churn is preventable - most teams just see it too late. By the time a CSM notices, the champion has already quietly disengaged, key features went unadopted, and the renewal conversation is damage control. The dangerous part? The customer might still be logging in, but they've stopped using what actually matters. Userlens catches all of that months earlier. Our AI agents monitor every user at every account the way your best CSM watches your top five strategic accounts: - feature adoption - usage trends - champion engagement - sentiment shifts in Slack and Intercom - open support issues. When a signal hits (churn risk, renewal, expansion opportunity), Userlens doesn't just alert you. It builds the talking points and deck on top of your team's approved templates and playbook. If you have CSMs, Userlens makes every one of them your best. If you don't have one yet, Userlens runs your book like the best CSM money could buy.

Agentic CSM AI to upsell & renew enterprise deals

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

We built AI agents that monitor customer usage data across every user at an enterprise account, catching early signals of churn or expansion opportunity by tracking feature adoption, engagement, and sentiment in Slack and Intercom. When risk or opportunity shows up, our system generates tailored talking points and decks aligned with the customer success playbook. This lets CSM teams act before the renewal conversation becomes damage control or even replace CSMs for companies that don't have them yet.

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

We live in Helsinki, Finland, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Helsinki because it's our home and where we can hire great engineers. We believe we can scale globally from here thanks to our remote-first model and the nature of our AI SaaS product.
