About Helium

Helium is building self-improving software.

We previously led AI & Growth teams at Uber, Meta, and Amazon, and we saw how long it takes to go from idea to experiment for these large companies.

We’re building Helium to automate the end-to-end process of generating and experimenting on new in-app experiences.

We’re starting by automating generating onboarding flows for consumer apps, then will expand into other experiences across the app. We work with some of the largest, fastest-growing consumer apps, serving Helium experiences to millions of users worldwide.

Our momentum:

  • Launched publicly in June '25. Growing X00% month over month since.

  • Working with leading consumer companies, serving experiences to millions of users daily.

  • Backed by >$5M from Y Combinator, Google’s AI fund, and leaders from Uber, OpenAI, Meta, and more.
