Helium is building self-improving software — AI that continuously experiments on key moments in the user funnel to boost revenue. Our first customer, a social app with 20M MAU, uses Helium to test new in-app paywalls to get more users to subscribe. Zach previously made $100M+ in growth experiments at Uber, Shishir led the first LLM features for Alexa, and Anish worked at Meta building ML to automatically experiment on ads, increasing Instagram ads conversion by 10%.

If you're behind Helium: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
