These 20- and 22-year-olds raised $5M from YC, General Catalyst to study online behavior using vision AI
At just 20 and 22 years old, two ambitious founders have secured $5 million in seed funding to reimagine how companies study online behavior using vision AI. Backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and other top investors, their startup Human Behavior is setting out to solve a problem analytics giants haven’t fully cracked.

From Stanford dropout to YC success story
Amogh Chaturvedi, a 20-year-old Stanford dropout, is no stranger to risk. Just a year ago, he and his team sold their first startup at 19. Now, alongside his 22-year-old co-founder, he’s building Human Behavior — a vision AI company that wants to show businesses why users stay, convert, or churn.
Unlike Mixpanel or PostHog, which rely on manually tagged events, Human Behavior uses AI-driven video session replays. The system analyzes real user interactions and generates insights automatically, cutting down hours of instrumenting code.
A $5M round closed in just two days
These 20- and 22-year-olds raised $5M from YC, General Catalyst to study online behavior using vision AI, and the deal closed remarkably fast. In just 48 hours, the four-month-old startup secured funding from heavyweights including Y Combinator, Paul Graham, General Catalyst, and Vercel Ventures.
The speed of the round reflects YC’s new norm — top companies closing significant deals within days. Yet, Chaturvedi insists they chose their backers carefully.
“We could’ve played the financial engineering game. We had higher offers, but we didn’t want that,” he said.
Why vision AI could redefine product analytics
The idea behind Human Behavior is bold but simple: watch how users actually use products instead of relying on tagged events or surveys. By applying vision AI, the startup believes it can surface insights that traditional tools miss — from moments of confusion in a checkout flow to the subtle behaviors that lead to churn.
If successful, this could represent a seismic shift in how product teams make decisions, saving them countless hours while giving them deeper clarity on customer behavior.
The bigger picture: Gen Z founders shaping AI
These young founders are part of a growing wave of Gen Z entrepreneurs tackling big problems with cutting-edge AI. Their conviction is clear: vision AI isn’t just another analytics feature — it’s the next frontier in understanding how humans interact with technology.
And with YC, General Catalyst, and Paul Graham in their corner, Human Behavior might just prove that the future of analytics belongs to AI-native startups.
