Q2 2026 objectives
North star: 20% of sign ups should happen outside posthog.com/signup
These are the primary goals the team is prioritizing this quarter.
Make agentic sign ups first-citizen of PostHog (

- Rationale: Agents are increasingly the ones picking and setting up tools. If our sign-up assumes a human clicking through a dashboard, we miss the fastest-growing top of funnel.
- Things we could do: Agentic onboarding by default — headless onboarding, Wizard, Stripe projects, AI-first flows. Wizard should be able to create orgs + projects on its own with no UI clicks. Expand the pattern beyond Stripe (done) to Vercel, Lovable, Supabase, and Replit.
- We'll know we're successful when: An agent can bring a PostHog org and project online through any of our partner surfaces without a human in the loop.
Allow anyone to integrate/provision an org + project in PostHog (

- Rationale: Every partner, every embedded platform, and every agentic flow needs a programmatic way to spin up a PostHog org or project. One-off integrations don't scale — a generic path does.
- Things we could do: Lean on the soon-to-come Partnerships Wrangler. Market it as either PostHog Marketplace or PostHog as a platform. Review what Agentic Provisioning needs to become generic (just an API). Write docs and settle on how to do it. Stand up the right application process — probably Support Hero-driven.
- We'll know we're successful when: A partner or agent can provision an org + project through a single public path, with no custom work from us.
Activation rate across all onboarding experiences should be 60%+ (

- Rationale: A single numerical bar pulls every onboarding experience towards the same outcome. Different channels — warm, lukewarm, cold, frozen — need different treatment, and a unified target forces us to treat them as one system.
- Things we could do: Settle the activation metric alongside PMs — we're currently on "soft activation" per-product; global activation is still TBD. Implement channel-specific onboarding: website (warm), Wizard (lukewarm), agentic provisioning (cold), Lovable/Replit auto-adding Analytics (frozen). Explicitly de-scope PostHog Code activation for now — Signals + PostHog Code team will handle that.
- We'll know we're successful when: Measured activation rate across every onboarding surface is 60% or higher.
Shape the external interface for Signals (

- Rationale: Signals is still early and its external surface isn't settled. Getting the shape right now — before partners depend on it — avoids painful contract breaks later. Partner vibecoding app builders are the most credible early validators.
- Things we could do: Write a spec for the external interface and validate with partner vibecoding app builders. We believe these partners want Signals, but Signals may not be ready to expose yet — first check feasibility. Once that's done, stop and reflect: how do we make this the next big thing after MCP?
- We'll know we're successful when: We have a validated spec and a clear read on whether Signals can be the next big thing after MCP.

Next quarters
Non-exhaustive list of things we want to work on eventually:
- One-click migration away from competitors
- Demo environment for customers to try out PostHog with existing data (and relatable to their own business domain)
- PostHog-billed AI SDK
- Don't need to setup an AI account in each provider, just use PostHog's AI SDK.
- Improved ingestion URL (dynamic, harder to block/guess)
- New products playground

What the Growth team does
We operate under a triple mandate - albeit one easier than the FED's: increase top of funnel acquisition, ensure successful activation, and increase cross-sell between products.
- Activation
- Global onboarding flow
- Develop tooling for individual product onboarding and activation
- Help product teams leverage the tooling to create best-in-class onboarding & activation flows for their products
- Product led growth
- Develop new products and strategies to increase top of funnel
- Integrate with external partners to drive growth
- Product cross-sell
- Track and measure cross-sell between products
- Identify the right time to cross-sell different products to different users
- Work with marketing to experiment on cross-sell initiatives outside the app
- Build bridges to other products that appear when customers might benefit from them
