Start with as little as $800 (fully refundable deposit).\n\n✨ If you're hiring, get matched with a recruiter at [dover.com/recruiter](http://dover.com/recruiter) ✨\n\n# Dover Recruiting Partners\n\nWe're thrilled to launch Dover Recruiting Partners – our biggest update yet to how startups can hit their hiring goals and hire the best talent.\n\nOver the past 5 years, Dover has helped 1500+ companies like Stripe, Scale AI, OpenSea, Benchling, and Vanta attract and hire top talent. Now, we’re introducing our most flexible and full-service hiring solution for startups: Dover Recruiting Partners.\n\n# 🚀 What are Dover Recruiting Partners?\n\nDover Recruiting Partners are vetted fractional recruiters who can work as an extension of your team. We only accept the top 2% of recruiters.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=84634&key=user_uploads/5516/5b78d9d2-2b56-4bf3-8c70-9d233f4a3396)\n\n# Key features\n\n1️⃣ On-demand expertise: Get help from experienced recruiters when you need it, without the overhead of a full-time hire. Perfect for startups and companies with variable hiring needs.\n\n2️⃣ Flexible pricing: Ramp up or down based on your hiring needs – pay only for the hours you use.\n\n3️⃣ Tech-enabled efficiency: Recruiters can use Dover’s ATS, Sourcing Extension, and other tools so they can focus on strategic work and keep their costs low.\n\n4️⃣ Transparent metrics: We share cost-per-hire and fill rates for our recruiters before you hire them so you can find the perfect recruiter for you.\n\n# 🤔 Why did we build this?\n\nRecruiting consistently ranks as a top 3 problem for startups, regardless of their stage or industry. Before companies are big enough to justify hiring a full-time recruiter, they often have to resort to agencies.\n\nWe like to say with agencies, \"You'll be unhappy either way\"—either you won't make a hire and waste time, or you will make a hire and pay $30k+ per placement. There’s a reason you don’t hire engineers or marketers on “contingency.”\n\nWe wanted to provide a more flexible, higher-quality solution. Dover Recruiting Partners gives you access to top-tier recruiting talent without the long-term commitment or exorbitant fees. Our fractional recruiting model allows you to work with a separate expert recruiter for each role you're hiring for, whether it's a senior engineer, a sales leader, or a product manager.\n\n# 💰 How much does it cost?\n\nMost companies spend an average of $80 per hour, depending on the services they use. The cost per hire across the platform varies, but it usually ends up being between $4 and $7k.\n\n# 🚀 How do I get started?\n\nHead to [dover.com/recruiter](http://dover.com/recruiter) and click \"Get matched with a recruiter\". We'll set you up with a free call to understand your needs and match you with the perfect Recruiting Partner.\n\nWe're excited to help companies of all sizes build amazing teams.

Yet it’s harder to filter down to top candidates and you can’t get back to everyone. It sucks for candidates too — they never hear back, and candidate experience takes a hit.\n\nThe proprietary tech that powers our automated outbound sourcing engine is now applied to reveal top applicants across all your job boards. Use extremely powerful filters and chat to find candidates matching exactly what you’re looking for and review resumes 10x faster — for free.\n\n**What is Dover?**\n\nOver the last five years, Dover (YC S19) has enabled Scale AI, OpenSea, Benchling, Vanta, Stripe, and 500+ other startups to make thousands of hires. You may have seen some of our other launches like our [Applicant Tracking System](https://www.producthunt.com/products/dover#free-ats-by-dover) and [Sourcing Autopilot](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/dover-autopilot).\n\n**What’s different from other resume review tools?**\n\nDover’s AI Applicant Sorting goes far beyond keywords. Dover has a knowledge graph of companies, industries, skillsets, and more.\n\nAI Applicant Sorting allows you to use super powerful filters and chat to find candidates based on exactly what you’re looking for.\n\nAs you review candidates, quickly approve or reject with a click. Take bulk actions to send the next steps in a fraction of the time. Use hotkeys to speed up review time even more.\n\n**What kinds of queries can I sort or filter by?**\n\nIt’s AI-powered, so you can get pretty nuanced:\n\n* “6+ years experience”\n* “based in the US or Canada”\n* “candidates with a fintech background”\n* \"people with experience at B2C startups”\n* “people who have worked on scalable systems”\n* “full stack engineers or people with similar titles”\n* “applicants who worked at well-reputed companies”\n* \"account executives with experience at SaaS startups\"\n* “product managers working in healthcare in San Francisco\"\n* “candidates with FAANG experience who went to a top school”\n* \"software engineers with at least 5 years of experience with React or Typescript experience\"\n\n**How hard is it to set up?**\n\nImport existing applicants from your Applicant Tracking System or get new candidates by posting a job for free with Dover’s ATS, which has everything startups need to build a great recruiting process and candidate experience. It costs $0 and takes 10 minutes to set up.\n\nJust want to try it out? Start using the tool with sample candidates in only a few minutes.\n\n**How much does it cost?**\n\nDover’s AI Applicant Sorting is totally free to use, just like our Applicant Tracking System.\n\n**Why is Dover releasing this for free?**\n\nDover’s mission is to help every company run an incredible hiring process and every candidate has a great experience. The best way to do this is by building easy-to-use tools to help every company get the basics right.\n\nWe make money by selling [Sourcing Autopilot](http://dover.com/sourcing-autopilot) and [Embedded Recruiter](http://dover.com/embedded-recruiter) to companies that need help with sourcing or full-cycle recruiting.\n\n**How do you ensure the AI doesn’t create bias?**\n\nIf you throw AI at a problem, bias can be created. We’ve built this model by inputting specific data and criteria and examining what’s happening with the AI output. We use AI to make it faster and easier.\n\nWe built this feature to make sure you find people who should get a second look and to ensure everyone hears back from you. AI is used to sort candidates, Dover doesn’t autoreject based on its output.\n\n**How do I get started?**\n\nGet started [**here**](https://www.dover.com/ai-sorting?utm_source=bookface&utm_campaign=ai_sorting_bfwww.dover.com/ai-sorting?utm_source=bookface&utm_campaign=ai_sorting_bf).\n\nIf you’re interested in a demo or a white-glove onboarding, email [hello@dover.com](https://www.producthunt.com/products/dover#free-ats-by-dover)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Jxh-ai-applicant-sorting-by-dover", "votes": 10, "created_at": "2023-12-07T17:18:51.315Z" } ] }, { "id": 12240, "name": "Zippi", "slug": "zippi", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/0bfb0fa1b078fc976591e71eccdf15d6bee81168.png", "website": "https://www.zippi.com.br", "all_locations": "São Paulo, SP, Brazil", "long_description": "Developer of a personal loans provider platform intended to benefit self-employed people financially.

We convert the equity of the property into tradable tokens on the blockchain through a process called \"tokenization\". They can then list as much or as little of it as they want for sale on the marketplace.\n\nThere are thousands of investors from around the world using Lofty to invest and build their own real estate portfolios. Many of them have also listed and sold partial ownership in properties they already owned (including their primary residences).\n\nWe’re the only platform that lets you buy AND sell fractional ownership with no restrictions or lock-up periods.\n\nNow, we’re launching a new feature that allows you to instantly buy and sell ownership in properties without the requirement of a traditional counterparty.\n\nFor the first time in the world, you can now buy and sell equity in a house (grants you legal ownership + management control) with the same experience as trading a share of AAPL on Robinhood.\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=81777&key=user_uploads/280486/f0e480b1-5df8-40d0-948d-4dbc35c9ebe0)\n\n## How does ownership work?\n\nEvery property’s deed is legally held by a unique WY DAO LLC. Unlike a traditional LLC that has a centralized managing member/partner, these LLCs are algorithmically managed through smart-contracts on the blockchain.\n\nEvery member has equal power and voting rights based on how much of the LLC they own. So, by owning 10% of a DAO, you legally own 10% of the underlying property. The tokens/shares are legal representations of ownership in the LLC; whoever owns tokens of the LLC, also owns the LLC, which means they also own the property.\n\nCo-ownership of properties is very common in the US and is no different than if you co-owned a house with family members or close friends. But instead of informally discussing how to manage things over the phone or in meetings, the management process is formalized through the “governance program”, where members vote on all management decisions. One token equals one vote and a super majority of 60% is required for any decisions to pass.\n\n**We don’t manage your properties nor do we sell properties to you. Instead, you’re directly buying from and selling to other people on the platform. Your funds never touch our accounts** and you settle directly with each other using the blockchain through smart contracts. We don’t take a cut of your earnings or charge you management fees. Instead, we make a 6% transaction fee for every transaction on the platform. It’s split, so that the seller pays 3% and the buyer pays 3%.\n\n* Now anyone can invest and actually legally own real estate for as little as $50.\n* Anyone from around the world can participate; **you don’t have to be an accredited investor.**\n* Our smallest users have invested $50 while our largest user has invested over $2,000,000.\n* **No crypto understanding or experience needed, you can pay with credit cards or ACH transfers.**\n\n# **To sign up, just create an account on **[**Lofty**](https://www.lofty.ai)**.**\n\n## Examples of properties\n\n**We have tokenized over 170 properties to date.** You can find almost any type of property on Lofty and we’re adding1 new property per week.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81777&key=user_uploads/280486/4352a64e-d17d-4547-b8b7-0c78afc91432)\n\n* [A single-family house in Texas](https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/1821-Donetto-Dr_Leander-TX-78641) being used as a standard long-term rental.\n* [A single-family house in FL](https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/122-Florida-Park-Dr_Palm-Coast-FL-32137) where the tenant has an option to rent-to-own and purchase the property from owners.\n* [Cool ranch in CA](https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/33008-Joshua-Ave_Acton-CA-93510), where the owner is basically doing a HELOC through Lofty.\n\n ![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=81777&key=user_uploads/280486/098a28ee-51eb-49cf-af21-0f5973c77c09)\n\n* [Vacation rental cabin in CO](https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/902-Karlann-Dr_Black-Hawk-CO-80422), short-term rental through Airbnb.\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81777&key=user_uploads/280486/ac44e1f5-6dce-41de-9975-8bf811fe441f)\n\n* [Parcel of Land in NY](https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/6117-Hyde-Flats-Road-21_Black-Creek-NY-14714), where you can determine with your fellow co-owners to add more value by leasing out parts of it to solar companies and a local farmer.\n* [Historic four-plex in upstate NY](https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/88-Madison-Ave_Albany-NY-12202), all short-term rental units.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81777&key=user_uploads/280486/566c24c9-c8c7-4200-9329-d09df468ea57)\n\n## Instant liquidity + lending\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81777&key=user_uploads/280486/67ce02ec-1476-4847-bf37-93d2621da70e)\n\nWe’re proud to introduce our [newest feature](https://amm.lofty.ai), the automated-market-maker and liquidity pools! You can read more in-depth about how this all works in our [learning center](https://learn.lofty.ai/en/collections/7492346-proactive-market-maker-pmm-liquidity-pools).\n\nWe took some concepts from decentralized exchanges (dexes) in the web3 world and adapted them to better fit a real world asset like a house.\n\n**The algorithm borrows liquidity from people on the internet. It uses this borrowed liquidity to trade with Lofty users, which allows you to buy and sell ownership instantly without needing a traditional counterparty.**\n\nThe result is for the first time in the world, you can now directly buy and sell legal ownership in a specific property with the same speed and user experience as buying AAPL or TSLA on Robinhood.\n\nOn the other side, you can also now lend out your real estate ownership and/or money for yield. This is especially beneficial for lending out your real estate ownership, because you can continue to collect rental income from the property and vote on governance decisions, while also getting yield from lending.\n\n**You can view our lending platform **[**here**](https://amm.lofty.ai)** and if you don’t have USDC (a stable coin) to lend out, no worries.

Customers rave about Kraftful because it simplifies collecting valuable user insights and acting on them.\n\nHere’s how Kraftful works:\n\n1. **Have existing feedback?** Tell us the source, and we’ll collect, transform, and present it as feature requests and other actionable insights, making it easy to dig deeper or take action.\n2. **No feedback yet?** Kraftful generates surveys in 2 clicks or creates personalized interviews to complement your user calls.\n3. **Connect your Zoom or Google Meet calls** to get real-time insights.\n4. **Once you have insights:** Kraftful generates PRDs, projects, and user stories based on your user feedback and syncs directly with Linear or Jira. Or assign tickets directly in Kraftful.\n\nWhat used to take hundreds of hours now takes minutes.\n\nSimplicity is key. Unlike alternative solutions, Kraftful doesn’t overwhelm you with complex clustering, data labeling, or confusing UIs.

We are building a new AI architecture from first principles to break from these limitations.\r\n\r\nThe status quo has ossified around the supervised, brute-force pretraining paradigm. These systems do not, and cannot, handle the essential skills of continual learning, goal discovery, novel planning, and the creation of new knowledge.\r\n\r\nThese limitations are not trivial. Our national prosperity depends directly on overcoming these limitations, because the essential skills underlie the skilled trades. From electricians to machinists to nurses, apprentice tradespeople in all of these fields learn “skilled improvisation” where every solution is novel, and even the goal must be discovered. Prosperity demands the precise capabilities where status quo AI is structurally weak.\r\n\r\nWorse, these limitations will not be overcome with more compute or training data.

As a company, we’ve endured several booms and busts before finding product-market fit and scaling rapidly - from our early days as an AI-powered procurement engine that showed signs of life before the pandemic, to our soul searching days in early 2020 that led to our merger with Cloosiv, and ultimately the post-pandemic economic recovery that saw us rapidly on a first-of-its kind platform that sparked rapid growth for our company. Today, Odeko is stronger than ever, with 90% of our pre-COVID customers reopening their doors and using Odeko’s new, more robust platform to run their businesses. We faced the pandemic head on with little room to maneuver, and emerged from it not only armed with a second critical piece of our platform, but having grown to support nearly ten-times the number of small businesses than we had before the lockdown." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "Where large chain brands value structure and speed, the modern local café has historically placed a premium on the human experience. Although a noble pursuit, the value of slowing us down to enjoy a beautiful latte and an easy conversation has concurrently slowed the pace of operators, with small businesses more often employing analog solutions for the big problems they face. As the world around them continues to evolve, local cafés have slipped further into the crevasse. Behemoths have expanded their footprints across the globe, each new store front strategically placed to snuff out the local cafés' existence from Main Street. This is largely a result of evolving national competition that rapidly develops and tests new technology at scale, while independent brands are victims of the available mass market, where technology has yet to evolve past various iterations of the point-of-sale system out front." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Odeko addresses the problem, by building an intuitive and affordable technology stack that’s designed to help small businesses increase their revenue, lower their costs, and reduce their carbon footprint. We got started in 2019 by first identifying coffee shops, bakeries, and cafés as the best entry point into the quickserve market, because of the vertical’s limited technology footprint, relatively standardized workflow, and low SKU count. We then narrowed our attention to focus on the two areas of concern that we most commonly heard to be pain points for our early café customers - _supply_ and _demand_. With these two points of entry, we’ve solidified the foundation to build our technology stack on top of, allowing us to continuously ship new components and immediately test the value of that work with our customers. Today, we support thousands of coffee shops, bakeries, and cafés with our supply and mobile ordering products, and will soon empower them to succeed with a platform of tools spanning ops management, finance, marketing, procurement, expansion, and much more." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/odeko", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2019/odeko.json", "year_founded": 2019, "city": "New York City", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/officialodeko/", "x_url": "https://www.twitter.com/officialodeko", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/officialodeko", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/odeko", "github_url": "https://github.com/OdekoTeam", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3b1e7b7eb171eccce88cf7089d2997df49764f1c.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 243190, "full_name": "James Burkhardt", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-burkhardt-6bb4ab48/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/c59661fcf73a278e2c96bc89cdf5cc1793092088.jpg" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 54083, "title": "Senior DevOps Engineer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/odeko/jobs/GUGWECd-senior-devops-engineer", "location": "Remote / Remote (US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] }, { "id": 54087, "title": "Senior/Staff Fullstack Engineer - Marketplace", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/odeko/jobs/7gKd9sh-senior-staff-fullstack-engineer-marketplace", "location": "Remote / Remote (US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] }, { "id": 54089, "title": "Brand Designer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/odeko/jobs/UtpXADM-brand-designer", "location": "Remote / Remote (US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Design", "role_type": "Web design", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] } ], "news": [ { "title": "B Capital leads Odeko’s $53M Series D to help small coffee shops scale | TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/b-capital-odeko-restaurant-tech/", "date": "Apr 18, 2023" }, { "title": "How to Recruit a Successful Executive Team at a Small Business", "url": "https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-recruit-retain-build-successful-executive-team-startup-2022-10", "date": "Oct 24, 2022" }, { "title": "Odeko Closes $12M Series A;

Our first product is a small molecule therapeutic for stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine, of which there are no FDA approved treatments.\r\n\r\nOur small molecule technology are atypical inhibitors of the dopamine transporter. Cocaine itself is an inhibitor of the same transporter. Directly reducing craving or positive reinforcement is a successful treatment strategy for addiction. Methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone) are key examples of this for opioid use disorder. However, these types of medications can be addictive themselves. This has been a major hurdle for medication development for cocaine addiction and has led to many leaders in the addiction space to abandon the dopamine transporter as a target. At EncepHeal, we believe that the dopamine transporter should not be abandoned and instead focusing on fixing the abuse liability problem. Therefore with our partners at the National Institutes of Health, we have shown that these new, allosteric modulators at the dopamine transporter do not display addictive tendencies in animal models. They are also effective at curbing cocaine addiction. \r\n\r\nOur management team has two co-founders, Omeed Rahimi and Aaron Lazarus, as well as an experienced addiction pharmacologist as their research officer. The team has an advisory board with entrepreneurial and addiction drug development experience as well as expert partners at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a subset of the NIH, and Wake Forest.\r\n\r\nOur team has had success in raising non-dilutive funding and has expertise with SBIR/STTR grants. We are looking for help in better connecting with the biotech/pharmaceutical industry.\r\n\r\n", "one_liner": "EncepHeal develops medications to treat substance abuse, starting…", "team_size": 3, "industry": "Healthcare", "subindustry": "Healthcare -> Therapeutics", "launched_at": 1556165074, "tags": [ "Therapeutics", "Drug discovery" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2019", "status": "Inactive", "industries": [ "Healthcare", "Therapeutics" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/encepheal-therapeutics", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2019/encepheal-therapeutics.json", "year_founded": 2015, "city": "Winston-Salem", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/10788545/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/encepheal", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/EncepHeal/", "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/e2254c6db4aca1a94f4c379b3299c517203af457.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 273152, "full_name": "Aaron Lazarus", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "I am the former founder and CEO of EncepHeal Therapeutics, developing medications for substance abuse.

We’ve created Finito, a self-hypnosis app that helps people quit with 15-minute daily sessions, educational readings, and stop-craving tools.\n\nCheck out the app on [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/finito-quit-smoking-hypnosis/id1624855382?platform=iphone) or the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindsethealth.quit)!

It’s responsible for 1 in 5 deaths and an economic cost of more than [$300 billion a year in the US](https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/index.htm) alone.\n\nWhile half of smokers made a quit attempt in the past year, research shows it may take up to 30 attempts before they are successful. This is because nicotine patches and gums do not address the emotional and habitual factors behind smoking and access to in-person therapeutic support is limited.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65293&key=user_uploads/243817/d8b07f51-9847-4ee2-bcf6-f1e3055e45b8)\n\n**✨ Our solution**\n\nWe’ve joined up with world-leading neuroscientist Dr Gary Elkins to create an easy-to-use app with a 4-week structured program that helps people quit smoking with 15-minute daily self-hypnosis sessions, educational readings, and stop-craving tools.\n\nWhat distinguishes Finito from other smoking cessation solutions is that it addresses the underlying reasons that cause people to smoke in the first place, providing hypnotic suggestions to the subconscious to manage cravings, emotions, and habits.\n\nThe program is ideal for people who have tried to quit but have returned to smoking because it changes their unconscious smoking behavior and gives them the tools to self-manage their craving symptoms.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65293&key=user_uploads/243817/95ead0b3-6059-4073-934b-5e984df16299)\n\n**⚙️ How it works**\n\nYou may be familiar with hypnosis and its urban-legendary ability to help people stop smoking. Well, clinical studies show that hypnotherapy can actually be [10 times more effective](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14768970/) than quitting without support and [more effective](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0965229913002100) than nicotine replacement therapy. And according to [neurobiological brain studies](https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/27/8/4083/3056452?login=false), hypnotherapy activates areas of the [brain associated](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25365127/) with attention, motivation, and a sense of well-being.\n\nHypnosis isn't a therapy itself - it's a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility that makes therapeutic techniques like CBT and guided imagery more effective. Hypnotherapy is like meditation but focused on health outcomes\n\n**💙 Founders backstory**\n\nWe created Mindset Health to empower people to improve their health by unlocking the power of their mind. We’ve already helped 80,000 people manage their IBS with hypnotherapy with our app Nerva. And we’re really excited to help people finally quit smoking, many of whom are understandably anxious and depressed about a habit that has controlled their life for too long.\n\n**Our ask**\n\n1. Tell any friends or family you know who want to quit smoking\n2. Investors: send us an email at [alex@mindsethealth.com](mailto:alex@mindsethealth.com)\n3.

To make matters worse, service quality has declined. CNBC reports that 25.9% of Starbucks customers experienced longer wait times, reflecting a broader trend of labor shortages in the industry.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86631&key=user_uploads/310507/7b2798ce-cc88-4789-98cf-124637dd96cc)\n\nWhy is the labor shortage happening?\n\nMany workers view server or barista roles as unsustainable long-term careers, especially on minimum wage, leading to **high turnover rates**, such as **130.7%** in 2020. This forces businesses to incur additional expenses for hiring, training, and maintaining staff while overburdening existing employees to stay profitable.\n\n# **Our solution**\n\nWe're here to change the game—making businesses profitable while ensuring workers find satisfaction and sustainability in their roles.\n\n[YC launch Video](https://youtu.be/3cQhbJTUL10)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86631&key=user_uploads/310507/ec24464e-a9a9-4eda-b0ce-52e69a6884d4)\n\nOur system is a high-throughput, modular, and reconfigurable solution, designed to serve as a flexible multi-category food and beverage assembly line. By automating routine and production-heavy tasks, it reduces the burden on human workers, allowing them to focus on building closer connections with customers—answering questions, addressing their needs, and fostering meaningful interactions.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86631&key=user_uploads/310507/10db4630-8784-4114-a96f-85cf52a555f3)\n\n# **Our ask**\n\nWe’d love to hear from you:\n\n* **Support Our Crowdfunding Campaign:** \n* **Franchising Interests:** Let’s explore how we can grow together.\n* **Partnership Opportunities:** If you have an existing brand and want to integrate our solution, let’s collaborate!\n* **Join the Waitlist for Coffee Shop in a Box:** Email us at [business@yummy-future.com](mailto:business@yummy-future.com)\n\nWe look forward to connecting and working together!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86631&key=user_uploads/310507/a9c1edd9-fbb1-46d2-9f04-5d274611c758)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MXH-yummy-future-robot-workforce-for-the-food-beverage-industry", "votes": 10, "created_at": "2025-01-07T01:36:29.570Z" } ] }, { "id": 12623, "name": "Lumineye", "slug": "lumineye", "former_names": [ "Lumineye Inc." ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/59a9a3f24545bb8e877588ab5137c5940b7dcdf0.png", "website": "https://www.lumineye.com", "all_locations": "Boise, ID, USA", "long_description": "We build portable, tactical, through-wall radar sensors to help first responders and soldiers detect and track people through walls.

", "body": "# **TLDR**\n\n[Downtobid](https://downtobid.com/) is building AI to understand construction blueprints. Our first product is a modern bidding tool equipped with an AI assistant to make bidding faster.\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nConstruction blueprints are very difficult to read and understand, which makes bidding slow and expensive for construction teams. Bidding is the process of getting a set of blueprints and reaching out to subcontractors to get prices on each scope of work (e.g., drywall, electrical, mechanical), then compiling these quotes into a single estimated price for the project.\n\nFor example, here's a 474-page PDF for a new wellness center (a medium size project). A general contractor needs to understand all the intricate details of this project in order to price it effectively.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/3c08be04-5f62-45ee-aaa4-dae24483c74c)\n\nEvery page contains a lot of information about materials that need to be purchased (e.g., which walls should be added, and specifications for the lighting system).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/6903f0a7-6817-4aef-b5bd-67f30b53f6c6)\n\n# **The Solution**\n\nDowntobid is an all-in-one bidding tool equipped with an AI assistant that streamlines every part of the bidding process for general contractors, from understanding the construction plans to reaching out to vendors.\n\n### _AI to find scope of work_\n\nToday, GCs spend 2-3 hours per project reading large construction documents to figure out what vendors they need to get quotes from. With Downtobid, GCs simply upload a set of plans and AI instantly calls out which scopes of work are required and highlights them on the actual set of plans. Rather than read blueprints raw, GCs get an annotated version with all important info called out.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/9723f21b-081c-4a34-b838-52c113f8c81f)\n\n### _AI to build project-specific subcontractor lists_\n\nToday, GCs need to build custom subcontractor lists based on their project requirements. Not every subcontractor is a good fit for the project (e.g. you wouldn't invite a wood-flooring sub to a building that requires carpet flooring). With Downtobid, AI auto-recommends a list of subs based on their expertise, experience, and project requirements.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/13887d59-73f9-468a-a671-6ab3d3e2a924)\n\n_AI orchestrates the outreach process_\n\nToday, GCs have to send emails, set up Dropbox links (to host their plans), and send follow-up emails. With Downtobid, AI prepares your email campaign and automatically follows up with subcontractors when they don't respond. A GC simply needs to respond to emails in their inbox and wait for proposals to come back.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/44db1129-ebe1-42de-b495-5a7ca8def8cd)\n\n**Long-term vision**\n\nOur long-term plan is to create intelligent AI that can understand and interpret construction blueprints. We started with bidding has the lowest requirements for AI so it's the quickest way to market. As the AI for construction gets more intelligent, we'll be able to handle more and more construction workflows. For example, we’re starting to annotate plans so LLMs can better understand the structure of construction blueprints.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/b4e77874-f0f2-4ee4-b1c9-7acbf773c545)\n\n**Team**\n\nWe spent the last 5 years working together on another bidding product (for subs) called BasisBoard. Previously, Andy worked at Uber on self-driving cars, and Kev worked at Boston Consulting Group as a designer.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=80238&key=user_uploads/252451/5d7e3304-3d0f-4945-9318-4e0eb226af45)\n\n**Ask**\n\nWe'd love intros to general contractors, especially those who are building retail projects (e.g., Walmart, Lululemon, Dior, McDonald's, etc.). You can even direct them to our [website](https://downtobid.com/) to try our AI on a set of their construction plans for free.", "url":

Hatchways helps you build a state-of-the-art practical interview process that is customized to your role while saving you engineering interview load along the way.\n\n# 👋 The Origin Story\n\nI've shared my personal struggle with traditional interviews on [HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20578850) and how I’ve never been great at \"performing\" on the spot.\n\nThis summarizes well what our mission has always been: _“Mainstream hiring processes are biased towards those who went to great schools, had high GPAs, are native-English speaking, have worked at brand name companies, are extroverts and great networkers, etc. But there are so many talented people who don't fit that profile. We're excited to work on ways of hiring that give them a better chance.”_\n\nOver time, we realized the challenge in solving this issue lies in the fact that companies lack incentives to improve their processes unless it saves them money or time.\n\nThus, Hatchways is on a mission to make talent discovery efficient yet fair. By streamlining skill evaluations, we help companies save time while hiring top talent with the right skills for the job, rather than focusing on pedigree, connections, or interview prowess.\n\n# 🤔**The Problem: Inefficient Interviewing**\n\nMany companies struggle with inefficient interviewing— spending too much time while not getting quality signal.\n\nAlthough creating a unique process is time-consuming, mimicking FAANG approaches, which most companies do, leads to inaccurate signal, a lot of wasted engineering hours, and increased competition for the same talent pool.\n\n# 💡**The Solution: Design a Purposeful Interview Experience**\n\nHatchways enables you to develop an effective interview process, ensuring accurate signal capture, time savings for engineers, and a positive candidate experience.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71240&key=user_uploads/321746/b44f8b5f-fbf0-4990-a37e-67afc3768fc5)\n\n# 🦄 **How it works:**\n\n* **Adopt Best Practices from Leading Tech Companies, and Tailor to your Needs:** We've distilled best practices from tech leaders at Dropbox, Plaid, and Airtable (e.g., crafting rubrics, enhancing candidate experience, setting pass-through rates) and can easily customize them for your company, role, and specific hiring needs.\n* **Custom Rubrics and Tailored Interview Questions:** Most companies introduce interviewing rubrics too late. This leads to standardization and bias issues, resulting in inconsistent hiring outcomes. We assist in identifying crucial skills and transforming them into a grading rubric to shape the perfect interview question.\n* **Streamline Grading and Optimize Calibration Effortlessly:** With Hatchways, use our automation features to build test cases or utilize our human-assisted reviewers to reduce your engineering review load. Drawing from the best practices of leading technical teams, we establish a starting benchmark and optimize your on-site pass-through rates over time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71240&key=user_uploads/321746/d2286ba9-dc3f-4647-b835-7b4faf858137)\n\n### **Use Cases**\n\nWhat companies use Hatchways for:\n\n* pre-screen technical assessment (i.e. resume replacement)\n* technical phone-screen step (i.e. 60-90 minute live coding replacement)\n* university/intern recruiting (i.e. high-volume vetting)\n\nWho is this for?\n\n* Companies scaling engineering hiring who are aiming to reduce interviewer load\n* Companies aiming to introduce greater standardization in their interview process\n\n# **Asks**\n\n* If you’re an engineer who wants to see companies adopt more effective and fair interviewing practices - share this with them\n* For companies aiming to streamline their interview process while ensuring a fair and enjoyable candidate experience, sign up on our platform [here](https://www.hatchways.io/?utm_source=ycombinator&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=launch_yc) or reach out directly to me to learn more: [jaclyn@hatchways.io](mailto:jaclyn@hatchways.io)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IX2-hatchways-making-engineering-interviewing-look-more-like-real-work", "votes": 181, "created_at": "2023-04-27T17:06:10.064Z" } ] }, { "id": 12660, "name": "Rosebud AI", "slug": "rosebud-ai", "former_names": [ "Rosebud AI", "Rosebud AI : PixelVibe", "Rosebud AI Gamemaker" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/0669f9afff20bf775d9b001b89480415cdb33109.png", "website": "http://rosebud.ai", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Rosebud lets anyone vibe code games.

We saw firsthand how **interactive experiences and behavioral data could drive attention, trust, and action**—all in under six seconds.But outside of games? That magic was missing. We watched friends in **eCommerce and B2B** spend heavily on ads, only to lose users to static websites, generic forms, and boring popups. Every marketing funnel looked the same—and underperformed.We asked: _What if we brought the mechanics of play to commerce, sales, and brand storytelling?_So we built PlayAbly: a gamified engagement layer that turns any passive touchpoint—landing page, QR code, email popup—into a fun, branded, data-rich experience. We didn’t just want to optimize clickthroughs; we wanted to **make customer interaction feel like something people actually wanted to do**.We chose to be founders because we couldn’t unsee the gap—and we knew we had the technical and behavioral playbook to fill it." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "**The Problem:**\\Brands spend billions to drive traffic—but lose most of it in the first 6 seconds. Today’s customer experience is passive, generic, and forgettable. Popups are ignored. Forms are abandoned. Retargeting is expensive. And brands don’t know _why_ visitors bounce or _who_ they really are.**Why it matters:**\\Whether it’s eCommerce, B2B, or in-store, **the attention funnel is broken**. Customers are trained by TikTok and games to expect interactivity and dopamine—yet most brand experiences still feel like static brochures. This leads to poor conversion rates, bloated CAC, weak data, and missed revenue. In a post-cookie world, brands need ways to engage and personalize without relying on surveillance or guesswork.**Why we’re working on it:**\\At Unity, we personalized gameplay for 2B+ users. We saw how **interactivity + real-time data** could drive deep engagement and monetization in milliseconds. But when we looked outside of gaming—at Shopify sites, SaaS landing pages, QR flows in restaurants—it was clear: brands had _no tools_ to make those touchpoints dynamic, fun, or behavior-aware.We built PlayAbly to fix that. Because **capturing attention shouldn’t feel like a chore**—and because we believe brand experiences should be just as interactive and addictive as the games people play every day." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Our long-term vision is to replace passive brand touchpoints with **a new standard for interactive, personalized engagement—powered by play.**If we truly succeed, **every ad, popup, QR code, and landing page will become a game—one that captures attention, reveals intent, and feels native to the brand.** Just like TikTok rewired content discovery, PlayAbly will rewire how people experience commerce, lead funnels, and brand storytelling.But that’s just the start. As our experiences spread across eCommerce, B2B, retail, and hospitality, we’re building the foundation for a **first-party engagement network**—a permission-based, gamified layer where brands can acquire, qualify, and retain customers through interactive journeys, not invasive ads.Instead of renting attention from Meta or Google, brands will use PlayAbly to **own the moment of interaction**, gather usable zero-party data, and re-market through personalized games and offers that people actually want to play. And instead of interruptive ads, our long-term vision is to launch a **PlayAbly Ad Network**, where top-performing game experiences can be distributed across partner sites, apps, and displays—with performance economics and behavioral data baked in from the start.Imagine:* A DTC brand acquiring new customers not through banner ads, but through a mini-game embedded in a partner brand’s checkout page.* A restaurant upselling via a playful quiz shown on smart menus or receipts.* A SaaS company qualifying leads with an interactive diagnostic game built into someone else's onboarding flow.**We’re building the infrastructure for the gamified internet—where every touchpoint is playable, personal, and performant.**That’s the world we want to live in. And that’s the world PlayAbly will help create." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/playably", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2019/playably.json", "year_founded": 2022, "city": null, "country": null, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/playably", "x_url": "", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/PlayAbly/", "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/7b91c99b08fe6d4b5f8a1cf9542969f8f9ad14f6.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 330775, "full_name": "Michael Birk", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Michael Birk is a founder at Baotris", "is_active": false, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbirk/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/155cb5f89de7e08bae4f4f2af1288217670a3995.jpg" }, { "user_id": 330167, "full_name": "John Cheng", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "John Cheng is the Founder and CEO of PlayAbly, a gamification platform transforming how brands engage and build loyalty with their customers.

The confluence of shopping and entertainment.  \n\n🧠 At Unity, we personalized gameplay for 2B+ users across thousands of titles. Now we’re bringing that same behavioral insight to B2B brands and ecommerce — where most sites still feel too generic, not an engaging experience\n\n🎯 We saw it firsthand: brands burning cash on top-of-funnel, only to leak it through lifeless landing pages, collection pages, and generic lead forms. So we built PlayAbly — a conversion layer that feels like fun but performs like performance marketing.\n\n🌍 Used by both B2B and DTC:\n\n* **Classkick (B2B tool for teachers)**: to qualify and convert education leads via smart quiz games.\n* **Skout (DTC Kid’s Snacks)**: to increase AOV and conversion rates with fun product discovery\n\n🧨 TL;DR: Replace \"Spin to Win\" with a game your online customer _actually_ wants to play.\n\n---\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nBrands spend on Meta, TikTok, SEO — but don’t _retain_ attention once shoppers land. Today’s customers ignore pop-ups, abandon forms, and bounce from even the best-looking sites. Why?\n\nBecause passive web experiences can’t compete with the dopamine drip of social and mobile gaming. And standard segmentation flows — quizzes, email captures — are too slow, too boring, or too static to convert attention into action.\n\nRetargeting is expensive, email/SMS open rates are tanking, and most stores don’t know who their customers really are.\n\n🕳️ Most marketing funnels are:\n\n* Bland → no interaction, no retention\n* Blind → poor data on why visitors bounce\n* Bloated → costly retargeting with low ROAS\n\n### **✅ Our Solution**\n\n**PlayAbly** creates opportunities for engagement —online, in-store, and everywhere in between.\n\nWe help brands turn passive moments into active engagement—whether that’s on a website, at a retail display, with a QR code at a restaurant, or in a B2B lead funnel. From quizzes to mini-games, our interactive layers boost attention, capture data, and drive action—bridging consumption and entertainment to make every brand moment more memorable and more effective.\n\n**Playable funnels**: Games that _feel native to your brand_ and drive:\n\n* 📈 Higher engagement\n* 💬 Useable first-party data\n* 💸 Measurable revenue lift - conversions up to 3x, 2x more email/SMS opt-ins than the leading popup, recover 89% of lost engagement\n\n🎯 How it works:\n\n* Choose from our library of high-performing game templates (e.g. match-3, swipe, scratch, stack)\n* Customize it to your brand’s look, products, and tone\n* Integrate via Shopify, Klaviyo, Hubspot, or embed directly\n* Launch in minutes — no dev required\n* OR - if you’re looking for a more custom game, let us know what you’re looking for\n\n🧠 Behind the scenes: AI + behavioral data personalize the game, questions, and post-game flow based on real-time signals.\n\n---\n\n### **🚀 Why It Works**\n\nOur games don’t just entertain — they segment, educate, and convert:\n\n* **DTC: Skout Results: 7X ROI, 4X Email Opt-ins, 20% Higher AOV** \n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91780&key=user_uploads/330167/3f68a566-f189-489f-b637-08595f1985f3)\n\n* **B2B: Classkick Results: 5X ROI, 3X Email Open Rates** \n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91780&key=user_uploads/330167/570759ec-4110-4bd6-bc39-ad002047c964)\n\n\nRetention’s better too: PlayAbly games collect data that actually gets used — building better lists, sequences, and personalization downstream.\n\n---\n\n### **💡 Why We Built It**\n\nAt Unity, we pioneered user-level personalization through gameplay — optimizing ads and UX with real-time behavioral signals. We saw firsthand how play builds trust, surfaces intent, and creates emotional stickiness.\n\nWe asked: what if B2B sales and ecommerce wasn’t just functional, but _fun_?\n\nSo we built PlayAbly:\n\n* To help brands personalize authentically — not creepily\n* To make every site visit feel like a VIP concierge interaction\n* To let brands build relationships, not just retargeting funnels\n\nWe believe AI should act like the best in-store rep: observant, empathetic, memorable — not a template engine.\n\n---\n\n### **🕹️ Want to Try?**\n\nWe’re working with DTC and B2B brands who want:\n\n* Better conversion/retention without more ad spend\n* Higher-quality customer data, captured playfully\n* Personalization built around _actual_ shopper behavior\n\n🕹️ Try a PlayAbly game: \n\n* [Skout Cookie Rush](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1747846715251/game/index.html)\n* [Replacements Matching Game](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1745836341267/game/index.html)\n* [Playfield Dog Days of Winter Advent Calendar](https://advent-calendar.ourplayfield.com/)\n* [PlayAbly Spinner Hunt](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1746022904086/game/index.html)\n* [Harmony 783](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1747054636675/game/index.html)\n\n\\\n[Book a Demo ](https://calendly.com/john-baotris/playably-demo-kf?)\n\n**Offer: Mention YC and get 20% off your first game** \n\nWhether you're selling skincare, classrooms, or courseware — let’s make it fun, data-rich, and wildly effective.\n\n#ai #ecommerce #gamification #dtc #b2b #retention #personalization #zero_party_data", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NsK-playably-the-confluence-of-shopping-and-entertainment", "votes": 5, "created_at": "2025-07-02T15:10:48.916Z" } ] }, { "id": 12666, "name": "spotLESS Materials", "slug": "spotless-materials", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/f4bcbe21be5fc35568846a259c348e3973168839.png", "website": "https://www.industry.spotlessmaterials.com", "all_locations": "State College, PA, USA", "long_description": "Surface fouling is a costly challenge across industries, impacting medical consumables, diagnostic devices, and automotive components.

Opening of 100K new fuel stations is practically & economically impossible in urban localities due to rocketing high land prices. And that's how the idea of mobile refueling was conceptualized by founders. Literally \"bringing the gas stations to doorsteps\". The problem of buying fuel is much more alarming in large volume consumer segments such as Vehicle fleet users like schools, cab rentals, freight logistics operators , tours and travels operators, hospitals, hotels, real estate etc who burn huge amount of dead mileage & loss of productivity while sending all fleet vehicles to gas stations to fill up. Additionally, India has a unique problem of Electricity blackouts. Current avg. is less than 18 hours of a day of electricity in Indian metro cities, which causes more than 20 mln household and commercial buildings running on backup generators which require Diesel. They cant bring the generators to gas stations either therefore they buy Diesel in jerry cans or barrels and transport unsafely. Our solution is solving the desperate & daily need of Indian consumers along with convenience.\r\n\r\nDo we have domain expertise in this area? \r\nFounder is ex veteran of Shell with 9 years of global experience, has complete understanding Oil marketing business.\r\n\r\nHow do you know people need what you're making? \r\nWe have over 5000 registred large volume customers who are waiting to be served. With our limited number of refueling vehicles ,we could serve max 1200 customers currently. We got all these customers without spending a penny in marketing and promotion. Zero sales efforts.

Web3 teams have a significant part of their assets in tokens sitting in treasury, but still have business expenses such as travel bills or web hosting that require USD.\n2.

This isn't compliant nor scalable.\n\n### **🌟 Our solution**\n\nMultis has become the one stop shop to manage, convert and spend — no need to exchange your crypto anymore!\n\n* **Buy/sell crypto and use funds right away** to pay expenses and run a payroll in both crypto and USD\n* **Issue Multis Corporate Cards** to spend your treasury in goods and services, both offline and online\n* **Send and receive** **ACH and wires** (no fees, no limit) to pay your vendors and receive money from clients and investors\n* **Make your accountant and investors happy** with crypto reporting and accounting exports for both crypto and USD\n\n... all with the safety guarantees of Gnosis Safe!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67131&key=user_uploads/326849/1f9feff4-05e4-4356-8a8f-8a9aa4b088a0)\n\n### ❓ **Ask**\n\n1.
