Paris YC W24 AI product analytics for LLM apps with session monitoring and evaluation tools; €1.7M Elaia/YC seed pivoting from GenAI monitoring to AI robotics SDKs competing with LangSmith and Langfuse for LLM observability.
Phospho is a Paris, France-based AI product analytics platform — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with €1.7 million raised in January 2024 led by Elaia Partners with YC participation — providing AI product teams, developers, and LLM application builders with monitoring, analytics, and testing tools for conversational AI and text-based AI applications. Founded in 2023 by Pierre-Louis Biojout and Paul-Louis Venard, phospho initially built a monitoring and analytics layer for generative AI applications (tracking user interactions, detecting edge cases, extracting insights from LLM conversation logs) before pivoting and expanding into AI robotics (providing Python SDKs, hardware kits, and tutorials that lower the barrier for developers to build intelligent robots). The 2-person founding team is based in San Francisco and Paris.
