Integrations: the tools Founder OS reads
Home Integrations
20 tools
Founder OS connects to 20 tools and only ever reads from them. Each page below says exactly what is read from that tool, what is left alone, how much one sync covers and how to connect it. Founder OS is on Pro Plus; see everything it does.
Billing
Stripe and Razorpay are what the revenue figures are worked out from. The other billing tools are read and kept as records.
05
Connect Stripe to Founder OS with read only access: MRR, ARR, retention and churn worked out from customers, subscriptions and charges by fixed formulas.
Connect Razorpay to Founder OS: MRR, ARR, retention and churn in rupees, worked out from your subscriptions, plans and payments. It only ever reads.
Connect Paddle to Founder OS with a key limited to read access. It reads your subscriptions and completed transactions and keeps them as records.
Connect LemonSqueezy to Founder OS. It reads customers and orders, and matches each customer with the same person in your CRM, product and support tools.

CRM and sales
Contacts and deals, used to recognise a customer across tools and to answer questions about the pipeline.
02
Connect HubSpot to Founder OS with read only CRM scopes. Contacts match the same customer across your tools; deals answer questions about your pipeline.

Who used the product and what they did, as counts.

Connect Mixpanel to Founder OS. It reads people profiles, with first and last seen dates, to count recent users and attach them to customers. No events.
Connect PostHog to Founder OS with a read only key for one project. It reads which events happened in the last 24 hours and how often, not who did them.
Connect Amplitude to Founder OS. It reads two daily totals for the last seven days, active users and new users, and nothing about any individual user.
Engineering
What shipped, what is open and what is breaking.
05
Connect GitHub to Founder OS through a read only GitHub App. It reads commits, pull requests and releases from the repositories you choose, never the code.

Email marketing
Results of the campaigns you sent.
01
Connect Mailchimp to Founder OS. It reads your sent campaigns with emails sent, open rate and click rate, and never your audiences or subscribers.
How every connection works
- It only reads. Every request to a connected tool is checked on our server, and anything that is not a read is refused before it leaves. It cannot move money, send a message or change a record.
- Keys are encrypted. Keys and tokens are encrypted with AES 256 in GCM mode before they are stored, are never shown again, and are kept out of our logs.
- It syncs daily. A sync runs when you connect, once a day after that, and whenever you press Sync. A sync that could not read a whole account is marked Partly synced, with a note saying what was read.
- You can take it all back. Disconnecting deletes the key and every record imported from the tool, in one step. For a tool you approved, we also ask the tool to end our access.
The security page goes through each of these in full, and the metrics page lists the figures worked out from Stripe or Razorpay, with their formulas.
