Abheek Basu is a product leader with 10 years of experience building and scaling SaaS products at the intersection of startups and venture-backed companies. He founded and led Laudspeaker through YC W21 and transitioned into PostHog after an acquisition to drive messaging product strategy. His background blends Wharton finance training and an MEng in Computer Science from UPenn, enabling him to bridge business, data and engineering conversations effectively. Early roles at Orbital Insight, Stride and NEA’s selective product residency sharpened his ability to ship new vertical products and work cross-functionally with data science and ops. Comfortable both in the founder’s seat and in operator roles, he brings a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to product decisions. He can be reached directly via the contact on his GitHub (abe at laudspeaker dot com), reflecting a hands-on, founder-first communication style.
