Coho AI
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Coho AI was a product-led revenue platform for B2B SaaS companies, founded in 2021 by Ariel Maislos (who had sold Anobit to Apple), CEO Itamar Falcon, and Michael Ehrlich. Its 'customer observability' platform turned product usage data into growth actions: visualizing every user and account, measuring the value users extract from the product, generating customer health scores, and firing real-time triggers for upsell opportunities and churn risks - serving dozens of customers and competing with Correlated and Endgame.
