New releases expand production self-hosting, enterprise controls and integrations for the open-source Segment alternative

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13, 2026/PRNewswire/ — Helium Ventures today announced its acquisition of Jitsu, an open-source customer data platform and Segment alternative. Jitsu collects event data from websites, apps and servers and sends it to data warehouses and business tools in real time.

Founded in 2020, Jitsu participated in Y Combinator’s Summer 2020 (S20) batch and raised $2 million in seed funding led by Costanoa Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, The House Fund and SignalFire. The company was built to give data teams an open-source platform for collecting customer data and delivering it to their own warehouses.

The pace of feature releases has increased since the acquisition, with expanded production self-hosting, new enterprise controls and broader integration coverage giving customers more ways to operate reliable pipelines and partners more tools to serve their clients.

“We built Jitsu to give data teams control over their customer data and the freedom to run it on their own terms. Rohit and Priyank share that belief and bring hands-on experience building and operating software businesses. With Helium investing in engineering, support and integrations, we can deliver more for our customers and give partners a stronger platform to build on while preserving the open-source foundation that brought them to Jitsu.”

— Vladimir Klimontovich, Co-founder and CEO, Jitsu

The July release of Jitsu 2.14 gives self-hosted teams a Kubernetes operator, dedicated function servers and Kubernetes-native sync scheduling so they can scale workloads independently. Audit logs, expiring API tokens, maintenance mode and event reprocessing give customers more control over access and a clearer path to recovering failed deliveries.

New destinations include Resend, SendGrid, Statsig, DuckDB/MotherDuck and Xero, alongside expanded authentication options for Snowflake and Postgres. For agencies and technology partners, these integrations mean more client systems can connect through Jitsu with less custom development.

These releases build on Jitsu’s existing Management API and CLI and MCP server, which allow developers and AI agents to configure and debug pipelines.

“Our investment in Jitsu is focused on the work customers and partners do every day: keeping events flowing, connecting more tools and resolving problems quickly. The releases since the acquisition show that direction in practice. We will keep building on Jitsu’s open-source foundation so teams can grow with the product and choose how they run it.”

— Rohit Mittal, CEO, Helium Ventures

With the recent launch of reverse ETL, Jitsu now enables teams to send warehouse data back into their business tools. Jitsu also offers managed ClickHouse, giving teams a hosted analytics warehouse alongside their pipeline.

What Customers and Partners Can Expect

• Continued choice and control — Jitsu remains MIT-licensed and free to self-host, with no usage limits. Existing Jitsu Cloud plans and pricing are unchanged, and customers do not need to take any action as a result of the acquisition.
• Investment in day-to-day operations — Faster support and continued development will help customers resolve pipeline issues. New audit logs and event reprocessing give teams more visibility into changes and a way to recover failed deliveries.
• More connections for partners — Broader integration coverage gives agencies and technology partners more ways to connect clients’ systems, reducing the need to build and maintain custom integrations.
• Founder continuity — Vladimir Klimontovich, Jitsu’s co-founder and CEO, continues to advise the business.
