GitHub Development Analytics for Tech Funding

For technology companies, engineering velocity is a key indicator of product health. Your GitHub activity shows how actively you're building, how your team ships code, and how your development velocity trends over time. This provides context for understanding your product investment and tech capabilities.

Why Development Activity Matters

Engineering metrics indicate product health:

Velocity

How fast is your team shipping? Consistent commit activity shows active product development.

Team Activity

How many contributors? Active developer count indicates team investment and capacity.

Consistency

Is development steady or sporadic? Regular activity signals disciplined engineering process.

What GitHub Data Shows

When you connect GitHub, we analyze:

Commit Activity

• Commit frequency over time
• Weekly and monthly patterns
• Activity consistency
• Development velocity trends

Team Metrics

• Active contributor count
• Contributor growth
• Activity distribution
• Team scaling patterns

Repository Health

• Repository activity levels
• Active repositories count
• Development focus areas
• Code frequency patterns

Engineering Signals

• Development consistency
• Shipping cadence
• Team productivity trends
• Investment in product

How GitHub Integration Works

Step 1: Authorize GitHub

Connect through GitHub OAuth. Grant read-only access to repository metadata.

Step 2: Activity Import

We pull commit activity, contributor counts, and repository metrics.

Step 3: Velocity Analysis

We calculate development velocity, team activity, and consistency metrics.

Step 4: Engineering Context

GitHub data provides context for understanding your product development investment.

GitHub + Other Data Sources

GitHub + Revenue

• Stripe shows revenue
• GitHub shows product investment
• Together: revenue relative to development

GitHub + Banking

• Plaid shows cash position

Security and Privacy

OAuth Security

GitHub connections use official OAuth:

• GitHub-managed authentication
• Read-only metadata access
• Revocable at any time
• No credential storage

Code Privacy

We protect your intellectual property:

• Metadata only (counts, dates)
• No source code access
• No code storage or analysis
• Cannot modify repositories

What We Access

• Commit counts and timestamps
• Contributor counts
• Repository activity levels
• Development frequency

What We Cannot Access

• Actual source code
• Commit messages
• Issue details
• Pull request content

Engineering Metrics That Matter

Commit Consistency

Regular, steady commits indicate disciplined development. Sporadic activity may signal process issues.

Team Activity

Multiple active contributors shows team scale and distributed development capability.

Velocity Trends

Is development velocity increasing, stable, or declining? Trends indicate product investment direction.

Repository Activity

Active repositories show where development focus lies.
