“Before implementing Pendo, we had very little insight into how our customers were using our applications. There were a lot of subjective opinions on usage and no real data to support decision-making. With Pendo, we can understand which features are being used so that we can make data-driven decisions on our product roadmap.”

Resources for startups

Startups use Pendo to understand how users engage with their product, onboard new users with in-app guides, and collect feedback through NPS surveys—all without relying on engineering resources. This helps early-stage teams iterate faster, prove product-market fit, and make data-driven decisions. A Crunchbase analysis found that Pendo customers are 18% more likely to raise a subsequent round of funding than the average startup.

How can product analytics help my startup find product-market fit?

Product analytics show you exactly how users interact with your features—which ones drive engagement, where users drop off, and what behaviors correlate with retention and upgrades. For startups, this data is critical for validating assumptions, prioritizing your roadmap, and demonstrating traction to investors. Pendo provides retroactive analytics, so you can see historical user behavior from the moment you install.

How do in-app guides with Pendo help startups onboard users?

In-app guides let you create walkthroughs, tooltips, and announcements that appear inside your product—guiding users to key features without manual training or support calls. For startups with lean teams, this means you can scale onboarding as your user base grows. You can personalize guides based on user role, behavior, or plan, and deploy them without writing code.
