Amplitude<\/a> has raised $30 million to fund what CEO Spenser Skates said is a mission of \u201chelping product people build better products.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not quite how Amplitude pitched itself initially, which was more about undercutting other analytics companies on price<\/a>. Skates (pictured above with his co-founder Curtis Liu) said this is less a change in direction for the company than a new articulation of \u201cwhat we\u2019re good at.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Amplitude was \u201cafraid to say that in the past,\u201d partly because it was afraid of alienating marketers \u2014 a group that Skates is now comfortable insisting Amplitude is not<\/em> built for. Instead, he said he\u2019s focused on creating analytics tools for product teams.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference? Skates said that when marketers look at analytics, they\u2019re basically looking at where visitors are coming from and then how those visitors convert into paying customers: \u201cEach step is a subset of the last step.\u201d The product team, on the other hand, is trying to answer more difficult questions, like how different features affect long-term retention.<\/p>\n

\"Amplitude<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYour users can do anything,\u201d Skates said. \u201cThe questions you\u2019re trying to answer are a lot more complex.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amplitude says that it has more than 5,000 customers, and in the past 12 months, it\u2019s signed up big new ones including Microsoft, Capital One and Twitter.<\/p>\n

In fact, in the funding announcement Microsoft\u2019s\u00a0Gooi Chungheong\u00a0said, \u201cAmplitude<\/span> has saved us months of engineering investments into understanding user behavior in our products.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Series C funding was led by IVP, with existing investors\u00a0Benchmark Capital and Battery Ventures also participating. IVP\u2019s Somesh Dash will become a board observer.<\/p>\n

Amplitude has now raised a total of $59 million.<\/p>\n
