There’s a quiet, expensive kind of waste in every mobile product team. It’s the time spent explaining, for the third time this quarter, which screen a specific analytics event actually fires on. It’s the designer, product manager, and engineer huddled around three different tools,Figma, Amplitude, and the live app,trying to stitch a coherent story together. AtlasGrid, a San Francisco startup founded last year, thinks the answer isn’t another dashboard. It’s an AI agent that crawls the app itself and builds a living map where the UI and the data finally live on the same page.
The Wedge is a Living Map
AtlasGrid’s product is described as a visual analytics platform for mobile-app teams [Work at a Startup, September 2026]. An AI agent automatically crawls an application, mapping its screens and user flows into a searchable visual graph [Work at a Startup, Unknown]. The key move is overlaying usage analytics,think session recordings, funnel drop-offs, or event counts,directly onto the relevant UI screens in that graph [FYI Combinator, Unknown]. The company pitches this as a “Figma meets Amplitude” workflow, aiming to unify the tools used by design, product, and growth teams [Work at a Startup, Unknown].
The initial wedge is what CEO Oleg Kostour calls a “living Data Dictionary,” a visual map of an app generated from its code and maintained by AI, rather than manually curated documents [Oleg Kostour, October 2025]. For a product manager trying to understand why a feature is underperforming, the promise is simple: click on the screen in the map, see the relevant metrics painted on it, and understand the context without switching contexts.
A Team Built on Mobile Growth
The founders are not new to building, or to Y Combinator. All three co-founders,Oleg Kostour, Anton Krutiansky, and Aram Aghababyan,are described as having gone through YC previously [Taro Fukuyama, December 2025]. Their backgrounds are a direct fit for the problem AtlasGrid is tackling.
- Oleg Kostour (CEO) was previously Head of Growth Product at family safety app Life360 and co-founded two companies, Pair and Maide, which were acquired by Dropbox and 3D Systems, respectively [EveryDev, March 2026] [TechCrunch, February 2013].
- Anton Krutiansky was a tech lead on growth and mobile teams at Dropbox and co-founded Pair with Kostour [EveryDev, March 2026].
- Aram Aghababyan was a software engineer at Meta’s Superintelligence Labs and at Insieme Networks, later acquired by Cisco [EveryDev, March 2026].
This isn’t a team theorizing about product-market fit from the sidelines. They’ve shipped mobile apps at scale and know the granular pain of aligning metrics with pixels. The company currently lists a team of 6 based in San Francisco [Y Combinator, Unknown].
Funding and Early Traction
AtlasGrid is part of Y Combinator’s Fall 2025 batch and closed a $4 million Seed round backed by investors including Offline Ventures, Garage Capital, Ritual Capital, and Sterling Road [Work at a Startup, September 2026]. Some third-party databases list different figures, but the company’s own recruiting page cites the $4 million amount. The capital is presumably for building out the core platform and initial go-to-market efforts.
Public information on named customers or revenue is not yet available. The company’s hiring page and investor materials describe the intended workflow and product vision, but concrete deployment snapshots have not been shared [Roy Peterkofsky, December 2025]. This is typical for a company at this stage, where the product is likely in early access with design partners.
| Founder | Role | Key Prior Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Oleg Kostour | CEO | Head of Growth Product, Life360; Co-founder, Pair (acq. by Dropbox) [EveryDev, March 2026] |
| Anton Krutiansky | Co-founder | Tech Lead, Dropbox; Co-founder, Pair [EveryDev, March 2026] |
| Aram Aghababyan | Co-founder | Software Engineer, Meta Superintelligence Labs; Insieme Networks (acq. by Cisco) [EveryDev, March 2026] |
The Integration Hurdle
The most credible risk for AtlasGrid isn’t whether the idea is useful,most product people would likely want the tool it describes. The risk is in the integration depth required to make it truly valuable, and the workflow inertia it must overcome. To build an accurate, always-up-to-date map, the AI agent needs deep, reliable access to both the application’s UI layer and its analytics data streams. This means convincing engineering teams to install an SDK or grant extensive permissions, and convincing data teams to connect their analytics pipelines.
Furthermore, the value proposition hinges on becoming a daily habit for cross-functional teams. If it’s just another tab that gets checked once a week, it reverts to being another dashboard. The company’s answer likely lies in the “living” part of its data dictionary; if the AI maintenance is truly automatic and the insights are genuinely proactive, it could become the starting point for any product discussion.
The Next Twelve Months
The coming year will be about moving from a compelling demo to indispensable workflow. Key milestones to watch will be the announcement of first design partners or early customers, which will provide concrete evidence of who is buying and why. Given the seed funding, another round of financing in late 2025 or early 2026 would be a logical next step to scale sales if early traction materializes.
The product roadmap will also be telling. Will they expand beyond mobile-native apps to responsive web or desktop applications? Will they build deeper integrations with specific design tools or analytics platforms beyond simple data ingestion? The answers will define whether AtlasGrid remains a sharp tool for mobile teams or evolves into a broader platform for visual product intelligence.
For a back-of-the-envelope sense of the opportunity, consider a mid-sized product team. If AtlasGrid can save a product manager, a designer, and an engineer just one hour per week each spent reconciling tools and context, that’s roughly 150 person-hours salvaged per year for a team of ten. At a blended rate of $100 per hour, that’s $15,000 in recovered productivity annually, making a five-figure SaaS price point an easy justification,if the tool works as promised. The incumbent AtlasGrid must beat isn’t another startup. It’s the entrenched, exhausting habit of command-tabbing between Figma, Amplitude, and a dozen Slack threads.
