For YC founders
Don't write your own internal tooling. Just read the briefing.
Every W26/S26 batch has ten founders who spend a weekend building a Stripe + Postgres dashboard they'll abandon by Demo Day. Herald is that tool — already built, already connected, already reading your data.
What hurts
What hurts when you’re yc founders.
- You shipped your own internal admin tool. It answers three questions and is already out of date.
- Investors ask the same five metrics in five different orders. You copy-paste from Stripe every time.
- Demo Day prep means building a cohort table you don't have and polishing numbers you haven't been tracking.
- You'd rather be shipping product than wiring four SDKs to a homegrown dashboard.
What Herald does
What Herald does for you.
- Skip the internal tool — Herald is the internal tool. Connect Stripe and your SDK; Monday's briefing is ready.
- Investor-update prep in 5 minutes: revenue pulse, active users, retention signals, one paragraph per section.
- No contract, no demo call, no MTU pricing. Hobby is free. Start this week.
- Cross-signal from day one — you don't wire four separate analytics SDKs when Herald reads them all.
Is this you?
You'll know this is you if your last weekend project was a Stripe + Postgres dashboard you'll abandon by Demo Day.
Where to start
Pricing recommendation.
Hobby is free for the first product — no credit card. When you want a daily briefing or Slack alerts, Starter is $29/mo flat. Two products on Starter without paying twice.
Ready when you are.
Connect Stripe and your SDK, send events this week, read Monday’s briefing.
