START pod: Michael Egan, CEO & Co-Founder, CodeCanary: “Find and fix bugs from session replays with AI”

Author: Fondo May 28, 2026 Duration: 10:57

99% of session replays are your app working exactly as expected (hopefully)


The other 1% is where the friction hides

The bugs.
The failed onboarding flows.
The conversion leaks.

No team has time to watch them all.


That's the problem Michael Egan and his co-founder kept hitting at their last company. They had analytics. They had session replays. They had ideas to improve conversion.


The small fixes always lost to bigger priorities..


So they pivoted and built CodeCanary: An AI product engineer that connects to GitHub, PostHog, and Slack. It watches your session replays, finds the UX friction, and opens pull requests with the fix


Always on. Always shipping.

Behind every startup's big idea is the less glamorous, but utterly essential, work of building a real business. The Startup Growth Podcast, from the team at Fondo, digs into that reality. Fondo itself is an all-in-one accounting platform designed for startups, handling everything from closing the books to filing taxes and even helping secure cash back from the IRS. This practical experience informs every conversation. You’ll hear founders and operators talk not just about vision, but about the tangible systems, financial decisions, and marketing pivots that actually fuel growth. Episodes move beyond theory to explore the operational choices that separate promising companies from sustainable ones. It’s a resource for entrepreneurs who understand that strategy is meaningless without execution, and that a healthy bottom line is the truest measure of progress. Tune in for honest discussions that bridge the gap between entrepreneurial ambition and the business fundamentals required to make it last.
