(i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)", "answer": "Chris and I (Kyle) have known each-other since elementary school. In high school we built an electric car together with a small team of students, and we both went on to study at the University of Waterloo. Chris went into math & accounting, I went into mechanical engineering. \r\n\r\nThe first spark of an idea came in 2017, with EV adoption on the rise. I’ve always been fascinated by all things complicated, difficult, and physical, and naturally was drawn to the energy and automotive space. There is beauty in the things that power our world in the background, unnoticed, unglamorous, but essential. I was drawn to the problem not so much in the spotlight, aging and ever strained grid infrastructure. The constant need for more efficient hardware with practical implementation. Through a rabbit hole of research I was fascinated with the potential of superconducting technologies, saw the barrier in the high cost of cryocooling, and had an idea for more cost effective cryocoolers. I went to my trusted friend Chris with the idea, and Intelline was born. People ask about the name, its a word we made up from latin, ‘intelligent in nature’.\r\n\r\nFast forward to 2019, we had a lovely multi-layered pulse tube cryocooler prototype designed and fabricated from scratch, along with our own linear helium compressor to power it. Unfortunately there wasn’t a huge market for it and we would have to move mountains as a tiny startup to bring together all the stakeholders for any meaningfully sized superconductor project. Over the holidays at the end of that year, we came across an article on diesel generators, highlighting their terrible inefficiency, yet they remain the only effective option for heavy duty industrial power. We were sitting beside our compressor prototype and that was the lightbulb - “Hey, this compressor design would make a really great engine”. I was always a huge car nerd, and have been sketching designs for engines and car parts since high-school, so the prospect of contributing a game-changing engine to the world was very exciting. We modified the compressor design with piston-mounted valves and added on the necessary combustion hardware, filed the patents, quickly machined a small cross-sectioned prototype, and carted it off to a mining equipment conference in Toronto where it was an instant hit. Customers were so excited even at that stage, and it was clear to us we were building something that customers have been begging for with no one answering the call. Today, we have a real running prototype of our groundbreaking engine design, and are preparing for first customer deliveries at a time when this technology is critical for growing power demand. We’ve come a long way, it’s difficult and painful, but since day 1 I’ve had the same fascination with unnoticed, unglamorous, essential hardware, and I’m eternally grateful to have the chance to contribute to that world of important energy hardware.\r\n\r\nI don’t think I ever decided to be a founder. My path is more driven by a need to do something, and a company is just the vehicle to bring vision into reality. " }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "1. Energy equality. Growth and prosperity in the human race is driven by access to energy. In developing countries and remote areas, this resource is severely lacking. Stable, reliable, and affordable access to electricity improves quality of live, period. We have the unique opportunity to create this change in underserved regions, with affordable microgrids based on our generator tech, given that many of these regions already use old inefficient diesel generators that keep costs high and curtail growth. Furthermore, the power concentrations centered on access to oil can be better distributed, as our generator can run on any fuel. Biofuel and other renewable sources allow remote areas to be far more self reliant on their own energy sources. In short, we can improve the worldwide quality of life by ensuring no-one is left behind in access to practical and affordable energy.\r\n2. Practical transition to zero emissions. We believe in climate change. We don’t care if you don’t. People can argue about this until they are blue in the face, all the while massive diesel engines continue to tick on powering our world economy because no one has provided an actual effective replacement. Our opinion is that real change is not hype, not a fad, and it doesn’t happen overnight. We made an engine that runs on anything, and uses less so it makes financial sense. Stuck with your diesel supply chain? No problem, use less, save money. Soon enough we’ll have thousands of customers using our engines, enough that it makes sense to develop robust supply chains for alternative fuels at scale. With real scale in alternative fuels and customers to use them, costs come down. All the while even the most steadfast climate denier has been using our engine, loving the rugged reliability we’ve come to know from the last 100 years of diesel engines, and then sees that the cost of say, ammonia fuel, is now lower than diesel, and no changes are needed to run it. That’s pretty cool. Our vision is that within 20 years we can do our part in the energy sector to get heavy duty industrial power to zero emissions, and we have a realistic way to do it." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/intelline", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2019/intelline.json", "year_founded": 2017, "city": "Waterloo", "country": "CA", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/34746898/admin/", "x_url": "", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/intelline/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/intelline", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/00d76c09d68459b13ffc2910fece040246c89806.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/efc3c8cc212142311fbb626d07729cd8f72c0001.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 280616, "full_name": "Kyle Faller", "title": "Founder/CEO & CTO", "founder_bio": "Previous Powertrain Engineering at Alta Motors and Mechanical Drive Systems Engineering at Tesla.

Each step involves long and tedious work: sketching a design, creating a tech pack, drafting and fitting an initial pattern, making a sample, adjusting the pattern after fitting on a model (typically 2-3 fittings), modifying the pattern to fit specific fabrics, grading the pattern to fit all sizes, measuring each point of the pattern, making a pre-production tech pack, sewing a final sample, and finally taking pictures. The process is exceptionally complex, wasteful, expensive, and time-consuming, averaging over 92 hours per style. It costs brands $70,000 per 5 new styles on average. Some collections have more than a 1000 styles, costing brands millions of dollars and many months to complete.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=84021&key=user_uploads/275448/f68e3c78-590d-4a35-acb2-db94e30b7c01)\n\n\\\n\\*\\*The Solution: AI that assists design, product development and prepares for production; and creates photos of new fashion styles in minutes, not months.\\*\\*\\\nPatternFast helps fashion companies and brands design and launch new collections in minutes instead of months.

Five of these reactors are 45-65 years old and are quickly coming to the end of their operational life. This has cultivated a fragile and lengthy supply chain, at odds with the nature of radioactive material.\r\n\r\nThis issue and its implications do not just effect molybdenum, but any other reactor-based isotope. Many promising cancer therapies are stuck in clinical trials, unable to secure enough material in a timely manner. Research doesn’t even happen because of the difficulty of sourcing any new isotopes.\r\n\r\nIt doesn't have to be this way.

Recruiting has become a lot more sophisticated over the last few years - because competition for talent has become fiercer - and we simply felt that products had not kept up with that.\n\n**💡 Bringing data and power to talent teams**\n\nA few years ago “recruiting operations” was still a foreign concept to most companies, but that is changing quickly as companies of all stages are getting more sophisticated about how they recruit.\n\nOur goal is to provide these ambitious hiring teams with a bundle of best in class tools:\n\n* 📊 We’ve focused on powerful reporting and dashboarding from day one. Modern recruiting teams run on data and we provide them with all the reporting tools they need, directly within Ashby\n* ⚙️ We provide a scalable ATS that has all of the features you’d expect (from posting jobs over approvals to custom fields and permission roles) but that is also easy to use for the end-user (and for early stage teams)\n* 📆 Scheduling automation allows your team to schedule interviews 3x faster while also providing candidates with a significantly better experience\n* 💌 To help you build pipeline we include a Chrome Extension, email discovery and multi-touch email sequences (including, sending on behalf of other team members)\n\nYou can learn more on: and we’d also appreciate your support on our [ProductHunt launch today](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ashby).", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/HAk-ashby-a-powerful-all-in-one-recruiting-tool", "votes": 29, "created_at": "2022-09-13T10:44:48.603Z" } ] }, { "id": 12036, "name": "Probably Genetic", "slug": "probably-genetic", "former_names": [ "Aiwa Health" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/9558e9a7114240a3f1e2a6378bd906ffe21826f3.png", "website": "https://www.probablygenetic.com/", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Probably Genetic is changing the lives of patients living with severe, complex diseases.

Really hard.**\n\nThere are almost no tools to help and data needed to build one are all over the place - in Figma, Storybook, maybe in Notion or Confluence, resulting in a huge mess and teams struggling with adopting your creation. And to make the matter worse, many teams don’t know how to build a proper design system in the first place.\n\nHey you, thanks for checking our platform [👋](https://emojipedia.org/waving-hand/) It’s Jiri, CEO, and founder of [Supernova.io](http://Supernova.io). Let me take you on a tour!\n\n### How it works\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64208&key=user_uploads/131850/1136c993-cf2e-4a0a-9a47-fd017f5bed1f)\n\nWith Supernova, you can create, manage, document, and distribute a design system at one place. We have thousands of teams onboard who are in many cases seeing multiples in terms of increase in efficiency and the adoption of the design system - plus who doesn’t love a good and fun experience when creating it? Here are some main features you’ll love.\n\n### Design System Management\n\nDesign systems consist of components, tokens, assets, fonts, branding resources and many more disparate elements - with Supernova, everything lives together, forming a coherent and easily maintainable design system using power tools at your disposal, such as asset and component manager or a dashboard to manage all design system processes.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64208&key=user_uploads/131850/5bd77bb6-4bc3-4582-b9aa-6086d5e5a561)\n\n### Documentation\n\nWe got carried away (a lot) and basically created a replica of Notion editor (amazing editing experience!) focused on documenting design systems. You can document and also share/distribute every aspect of your design system using all data from your libraries.\n\nBest of all, the editor feels like magic because it keeps your documentation up to date, changing the content automatically as you change and improve your design system. No more changing 500 pages of the documentation manually!\n\nWe even made our own user documentation using it - [check it out](https://learn.supernova.io/)!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64208&key=user_uploads/131850/7072ff7f-ac54-47df-87c9-bbc46111242c)\n\n### Automated synchronization and distribution\n\nWe all come from automation backgrounds - and so Supernova is packed with automation from top (importing and synchronizing design and code you create in other tools) to bottom (automated export, synchronization with codebases, automatically rewriting your docs).\n\nAs an example, you can setup Supernova in such a way that if you create a new icon in Figma, a pull request will be open against all your repository with that icon, properly formatted. Now imagine if you add 10 icons, for React, iOS, and Android, with 4 different themes and 10 different white-labeled apps - talk about saving time.\n\n### Too much to write here\n\nWe poured our heart and soul into making the best design system platform possible and there are hundreds of small things that make design systems a better experience with Supernova - and your life better day-to-day if you are tasked with creating and maintaining it.\n\nIf you struggle with your design system, just let us know or try out the platform right away (), it is free to start with and scales extremely well even for large teams!\n\nCan’t wait to have you onboard, enjoy!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Ghc-supernova-create-document-and-distribute-your-next-design-system", "votes": 53, "created_at": "2022-06-30T02:03:24.240Z" } ] }, { "id": 12038, "name": "Doorport", "slug": "doorport", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1977d3cc8bce459b7dac1875971bf9b6a14e9fde.png", "website": "https://www.doorport.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "", "one_liner": "Acquired by Alarm.com - We make existing apartment access smart.", "team_size": 3, "industry": "Real Estate and Construction", "subindustry": "Real Estate and Construction -> Housing and Real Estate", "launched_at": 1541561633, "tags": [ "Smart Home Assistants", "IoT" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2019", "status": "Acquired", "industries": [ "Real Estate and Construction", "Housing and Real Estate" ], "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/doorport", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2019/doorport.json", "year_founded": null, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/doorport-3", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1977d3cc8bce459b7dac1875971bf9b6a14e9fde.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 139895, "full_name": "Ben Taylor", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Sold Doorport (W19) to Alarm.com in 2020 ⇨ now \"building something new\"", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/taylorbk", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/thebentaytay", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/a0e6de7ef5c1c18a76c38277d6bd006a10fa4b91.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [], "launches": [] }, { "id": 12039, "name": "Termius", "slug": "termius", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/f2ba51393107c60fc73e0c01a4165e444e0e8755.png", "website": "https://termius.com", "all_locations": "Auckland, New Zealand", "long_description": "Termius is an SSH client that works on desktop and mobile.

For 100+ years, breath analysis (AKA metabolic testing, VO2max) has been the gold standard in anti-aging quantification, nutrition prescription, and evaluation of most critical systems, including the heart, lungs, cells, and nervous system. Until recently, it was only available in sophisticated clinics and regarded as the most valuable but underutilized assessment in medicine. PNOĒ changed that through the first easy-to-use clinical-grade breath analysis device, proprietary software package, and dedicated metabolic expert support. Through a non-invasive 10 min breath test, PNOĒ analyzes the human breath and prescribes a personalized nutrition, exercise, breathwork, and bio-optimization (i.e., red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber, IV therapy, etc.) program based on one’s biological limitations. 3,000+ health professionals trust PNOĒ because it personalizes the clients’ journey through their clinics, builds retention by quantifying progress, and enables the upsell of personalized nutrition and breathwork. All this without any effort, time commitment, or upfront cost. PNOĒ has been independently validated by Georgetown University, VA in Maryland, and Rutgers University and is trusted by leading institutions including Cenegenics, Dais Cove, MIT, UCLA, Pan Pacific, CLMBR, UCS, OURA, TONAL, Spartan Racing, and Paris Saint Germain.

The world's largest companies pay millions a year for access. Everyone else gets selective coverage and hefty legal bills to half-solve the problem.\r\n\r\nCaribou is the first autonomous tax firm.

We integrated banks across Europe & the US, allowed you to send money globally, and monitor your financial metrics from one dashboard.\r\n\r\n\\\r\nBuilding rebank taught us that companies were going global earlier, and law/accounting firms couldn’t keep up with their cross-border needs. That insight led us to pivot to Caribou in 2024." }, { "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 way startups scale has gone global. Even the smallest teams now operate across borders—with a Delaware C-Corp, a UK subsidiary, and contractors in three countries. But the tax system hasn’t kept up. Every multinational, no matter how small, is legally required to follow _transfer pricing_ rules—complex regulations designed for giants like Google and Apple.\r\n\r\nThat means founders suddenly have to deal with one of the most complicated areas of tax, law, and accounting: proving that the way their entities share profits, people, and IP is fair and compliant. Getting it wrong can cost them everything—from lost R&D credits and double taxation to failed funding rounds and audits they can’t afford.\r\n\r\nUntil now, there’s been no solution for this. Big Four firms charge six figures for what early-stage startups need to do, while accountants and lawyers are guessing—or skipping it entirely. We saw founders “flying blind” and leaving huge amounts of cash on the table, not because they didn’t care, but because the system wasn’t built for them.\r\n\r\nCaribou changes that. We automate the hardest parts of transfer pricing by collecting and structuring messy business context with AI. What used to take consultants months now takes minutes, and with greater accuracy.\r\n\r\nWe’re solving this because global ambitions shouldn’t be punished by complexity. Caribou makes international tax compliance simple, affordable, and scalable—so ambitious startups can grow like multinationals, without the pain of becoming one." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision?

We are super confident that Valo will work better than we have planned and that customers will absolutely love it. We are going to use the technology in Valo to revolutionize increasingly larger boats and ships, ultimately bringing zero emissions technology to the entire marine sector.\n\n### **📦How do I get one?**\n\n[Place a reservation today!](https://ridevalo.com/) $1000 fully refundable. A reservation secures your spot in the line for the limited production slots we will have available next year.\n\n### \n\n**📆When will it be ready?**\n\nWe will have a prototype complete by early Feb next year, and will be offering demo rides.\n\nWe will then have a limited run of founders edition vessels delivered mid next year, with priority given to the reservation queue position. The full production run will begin early after that.\n\n### \n\n**🎣How much does it cost?**\n\nValo costs more than your typical jet ski. Production price is targeted at $59,000.\n\nThis is because Jetski’s and PWCs in general are pretty much glorified fiberglass bathtubs with a piston engines slapped inside. Valo is effectively a fully featured electric aircraft with wings, stabilizers, actuated control surfaces, inertial sensors and complex flight control software, nothing else out there comes close to it, and all that extra stuff does add to the cost.\\\n\\\nIf you have any questions, reach out to [valo@boundarylayer.tech](mailto:valo@boundarylayer.tech)\n\n### **Thanks!**", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Hgs-valo-hyperfoil-the-electric-flying-personal-watercraft-of-the-future", "votes": 18, "created_at": "2022-12-20T22:29:55.039Z" } ] }, { "id": 12084, "name": "JetPack Aviation", "slug": "jetpack-aviation", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/94480033ba6508a0100986d13cbdc894e041ebd0.png", "website": "http://www.jetpackaviation.com", "all_locations": "Los Angeles, CA, USA", "long_description": "Our focus is on developing the smallest, fastest heavy lift optionally piloted VTOL aircraft.

After numerous conversations with other scientists and hours of research, we discovered that trailblazing biologists were being held back by the constraints of existing automation tools, particularly in the realm of DNA sequencing. While DNA readout technologies surged ahead, the upstream steps of sample preparation (sample prep) lagged behind.\\\\During Founder Udayan Umapathi’s graduate stint at the MIT Media Lab, what began as a humble printed circuit board to manipulate colorful droplets soon evolved into a solutionfor the notorious \"sample prep bottleneck.\" Propelled into action, we secured funding from top-tier VCs and got to work." }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day?

From 1999 to 2000, the Human Genome Project generated the first “draft” human genome, which cost \\~$300 million across 20 labs worldwide. It took another three years, and hundreds of millions of dollars, to produce a human genome that was \\~90% complete, as complete as the technologies for sequencing DNA allowed at the time. In 2023, a scientist can sequence a genome at a bench for hundreds of dollars in a day. The adoption of sequencing technologies across new applications only continues to accelerate as it becomes easier, faster, and cheaper. \\\\Despite these advancements, preparing samples for sequencing remains a significant bottleneck. We believe that disruptive innovations are needed in sample prep to unlock the true utility of genomics. With the new reality of the $200 genome (sequencing cost alone), sample prep is becoming a more significant burden on labs than ever before. " } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/volta-labs-inc", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2019/volta-labs-inc.json", "year_founded": 2018, "city": "Boston", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/volta-labs-inc", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/voltalabsinc", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/volta-labs-a9c8", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/373e91d473569c304899f7cec638ddc0b46d10d6.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/b174dc71f1ac1b5b04ae4d55f5100d5bef2f19b8.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/7bb2e9324a7753b95d0c687a8a5d98b14165bf0a.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 11802, "full_name": "Udayan Umapathi", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "As the founder and CEO of Volta Labs, Inc., I have over five years of experience in creating and scaling a company that is transforming the field of sequencing sample prep.

During that Bootcamp, they both worked together in a competition, and as a result, they built a great relationship. Some time later, Maxi relocated to Kansas City to work as a freight forwarder for one of the largest forwarding groups in the world. There, Maxi was able to learn and understand the Logistics industry. Alfonso has been involved in the Forwarding industry since childhood, given that his family owned a traditional freight forwarding company in Mexico.Alfonso and Maxi realized that the Logistics industry in Latin America had been fine and was ripe for an innovative solution.At that moment, two geeky founders were born! Alfonso and Maxi started Nowports, building the first MVP within a few weeks. Once the MVP was built, they rapidly acquired the first customers, and a few weeks later, Y Combinator invited them to join the Winter 2019 batch." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "Maxi applied to more than 30 accelerators worldwide during his time in Kansas City. Funnily enough, after getting invited for the in-person interview, a US accelerator confirmed Nowports was accepted, and Maxi and Poncho had the first tough decision in Nowports' trajectory: accept the first $50,000 and acceleration process or “go big or go home” by betting all to get accepted by Y Combinator.The decision was not easy, but it was clear Nowports’ founders were determined to get into the world's best accelerator: Y Combinator. The in-person interview was longer than standard, almost 20/25 minutes, to convince the partners to accept them into the batch.During the batch, we had the following objectives:1. **Validate our product**. During this step, we had to demonstrate that there was someone with a pain we could address with our product and that this person was willing to pay for our solution. Our added value is technology, which allows us to create automatic reports, quick quotes, and digitized documents and provide personalized attention and flexibility to adapt to almost any situation our clients face.2. **Learn from the best**. At this point, we had the opportunity to hear feedback from others who had already scaled their product successfully internationally. One memorable moment was meeting with the co-founders of Dropbox and Airbnb. We also were able to share ideas with many entrepreneurs from different countries.3. **Carry out non-scalable activities**. As the founder of a company, you have to solve issues in all areas. In the case of Nowports, that included selling during the day while coding at night to iterate on our product.**Raise the first round of capital**. During demo day, we had the opportunity to raise a seed series of funding of US$8.6M, which was one big round for two Latino first-time founders at that moment." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/nowports", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2019/nowports.json", "year_founded": 2018, "city": null, "country": null, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/nowports/", "x_url": "http://twitter.com/nowports", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/Nowports/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/nowports", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3adc2d7230f0a2c3c705c361a16f9f9b93e81b7d.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/a1ed532ca6fcee41e682c4307afc2404a54deea5.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 273025, "full_name": "Alfonso de los Rios Villareal", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/alfonso-de-los-rios-24a3a713a/", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/7e0d1f9f07cee25917198450f7a164e7cea19492.jpg" }, { "user_id": 232044, "full_name": "Maximiliano Casal", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Co-founder & former COO Nowports\nBachelor Computer Engineering", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxcasal/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/MaxCasal13", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/ade378e3faa84a016a72dbfbd32c4557baada853.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [ { "title": "Why Nearshoring Is Closer Than Ever: How Mexico Is Becoming The Next Big Thing In Global Markets", "url": "https://www.forbes.com/sites/garydrenik/2023/03/23/why-nearshoring-is-closer-than-ever-how-mexico-is-becoming-the-next-big-thing-in-global-markets/?sh=765e0fe3354b", "date": "Mar 23, 2023" }, { "title": "Nowports streamlines LatAm’s shipping to deliver a $1.1B valuation – TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/nowports-lands-150m-at-a-1-1b-valuation-to-streamline-latams-shipping/", "date": "May 24, 2022" }, { "title": "Tiger, SoftBank Lead Round for Latin American Logistics Startup", "url": "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-16/tiger-softbank-lead-round-for-latin-american-logistics-startup", "date": "Dec 16, 2021" }, { "title": "Nowports raises $16M to build the OS for LatAm’s shipping industry – TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/01/nowports-raises-16m-to-build-the-os-for-latams-shipping-industry/", "date": "Jul 01, 2021" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 12238, "name": "Seawise Capital", "slug": "seawise-capital", "former_names": [ "LendVerse" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/8a57aa2997d907d0589203748d7cd45c89c36483.png", "website": "https://www.seawisecapital.com", "all_locations": "New Delhi, DL, India", "long_description": "Seawise Capital is a trade finance company for Indian exporters.

Spent the first couple of years iterating in this space from selling software solutions to colleges to B2B training products to reaching product market fit with B2C online and offline upskilling programs.\r\n\r\nBefore starting up, founders were active in the higher education market, speaking at events, exhibitions, conferences and guiding students making critical career decisions. Felt strongly about the problem at hand and enjoyed the journey of creating something valuable for people." }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?", "answer": "AccioJob was founded in 2018 by four IIT Delhi alumni and joined Y Combinator in W19 batch.\r\n\r\n**2024 - the offline decision.** We moved from online only courses to offline centres enabling in person interaction, distraction free learning. \r\n\r\n**March, 2024 - first skill centre, Noida.** Learnt running an offline business. Refined pedagogies, build BTL GTM funnels, strengthened employer partnerships, made the centre run profitably in the first 8 months.\r\n\r\n**November, 2024 - October, 2025 expansion.** Skill centres in Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, each near a live tech hiring market rather than in a metro centre for its own sake.\r\n\r\n**Today.** Three programmes — Data Analytics with Gen AI, AI Engineering with Full Stack, and Data Science and AI — with 2,000+ students placed across 500+ hiring partners." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "India graduates over a million engineers a year, and most of them never get a fair shot at a tech job. The gap is rarely ability - it's structured practice, real feedback, and access to companies that are actually hiring.\r\n\r\nOnline courses didn't close that gap. Completion rates for self-paced programmes sit in the single digits, because a 21-year-old sitting alone with video lectures has no accountability, no peers, and nobody to ask when they're stuck at 11pm on a bug. The students who most need the training are the ones least served by a format that assumes they'll self-motivate through eight months of it.\r\n\r\nSo we built the opposite. AccioJob runs in-person skill centres where students show up daily, learn alongside a cohort, and get corrected by mentors in the room, delivering 2x better learning and placement outcomes. We then run the hiring side ourselves: 50+ hiring drives a month across 500+ partner companies, so the training connects to an actual interview rather than a certificate." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "If we succeed, where you studied stops determining whether you get a shot at a tech career.\\\r\n\\\r\nWe believe strongly about the idea that employability will shift towards skills over degrees, towards capability instead of credentials. AI adoption in every domain of work will need human talent to be upskilled and reskilled. That’s the opportunity we are building for.\r\n\r\nEvery learner would think of AccioJob Skill centres as trusted institutions in their city which could help them with career guidance, personalising their roadmap, industry relevant actionable mentorship, being part of a professional community, structured upskilling programs, employment opportunities.\r\n\r\nConcretely, that means skill centres in every Indian city with a tech hiring market, not just the four we run today, and a placement record that companies trust enough to hire from without a separate screening round." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/acciojob", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2019/acciojob.json", "year_founded": 2018, "city": "Gurugram", "country": "IN", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acciojob", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/acciojob_", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/acciojob", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/58884ed5c9a6258e4e36cfa9be1a2a6b30e41858.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/7b5137f521d9e1eba4296c937942514a74e05219.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/ba89063e3ee9ed95dba13655492708b078006bc6.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 286741, "full_name": "Vishu Bansal", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Leading Partnerships", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/vishu-bansal-70a260a3", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/d211d3a0970a285b4adc8f8dc1b1814a6d762ee6.jpg" }, { "user_id": 283018, "full_name": "Harsh Sharma", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Hit me up to discuss whatever you think I can help you out with! \n\nAlso, I can get you good entry-level tech hires in India.

This 51 second video features one of our first customers graduating over 90,000 learners per year:\n\nSizzle clip: \n\nAnd you can watch the full episode where he goes into detail about the use cases he has in production with us here:\n\nFull Episode 1 with Kermit Cook (CEO, Penn Foster): \n\nBackstory:\n\nMy Co-Founder, Timur Meyster and I went through YC W19 building what became Career Karma, the largest career transition platform for people from non-traditional backgrounds breaking into tech. We made thousands of customer calls personally and managed third-party BPOs at scale. We learned the customer experience operating model from the inside.\n\nThe thing we kept seeing across our enterprise partners was the same. Customer experience teams stuck in reactive, inbound-first models. Tools that waited for the customer to raise a hand. And the customers who needed the most help were the ones least likely to do that on their own.\n\nWe pivoted to OutRival in 2024 to build the opposite. Over the last two years we have sat with more than 300 enterprise leaders across higher education, insurance, travel, and beyond, iterating alongside the operators running the work. Digital Workers that take the first move. That can run millions of outreach attempts a month across voice, text, and email, with the compliance posture a regulated enterprise needs. That can be onboarded into a team like a new hire.\n\nThe Show:\n\nThe New Normal is co-hosted by me, Timur, and our Head of Insurance John Henry. All three of us have built media at scale before. Timur and I previously hosted Breaking Into Startups, which reached more than 3 million people. John Henry previously hosted Hustle on VICELAND, executive produced by Alicia Keys and Marcus Samuelsson, which reached tens of millions. John is also a co-founder of Harlem Capital and Loop.\n\nThis time the centerpiece is our customers and the operators inside them actually deploying AI at scale.\n\nAs mentioned earlier, Episode 1 is with Kermit Cook (CEO, Penn Foster). Confirmed cohort going forward includes Presidents of WGU, Miami Dade, UMGC, SNHU, NU, and OU; CEOs of DeVry, Cengage, and Campus; plus senior leaders at University of Phoenix and UMass Global. More coming across insurance and travel.\n\n15 episodes scheduled. 7 already recorded. Bi-weekly cadence starts today.\n\nAsks:\n\n1\\. Operators for The New Normal show. We're recording 15-30 more episodes over the next 3-4 months across higher ed, insurance, and travel. If you know an executive operator at a Fortune 1000 company running real outbound AI deployments inside their org and generating revenue, send them my way.\n\n2\\. Please show love on LinkedIn ,YouTube, and Twitter (Here - )\n\nThanks for reading.
