No matter how extensive your test coverage, no matter how thorough your QA, no matter how much you put behind feature flags — your mobile team _will_ ship irreversibly-bad updates that break things and upset your users. \n\nThis is especially problematic for mobile because you can’t roll back immediately like your web or backend friends can. Rather, you have to triage the issue and assign it to the right team members, implement fixes (or carefully revert the offending changes), compile one or more RCs, upload to the stores, submit for review, then cross your fingers and pray to the store review gods for a speedy review. And the negative impacts of even just a few hours with a critically broken app can be eye-watering: tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue, a flood of negative user reviews, and overwhelmed CX or ops folks.   \n\nBut what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could instantly resolve a critical issue in prod, with a single click? Now, you can. \n\n### Recover from production issues in zero time — literally\n\nCritical issue? Roll back instantly. In the background of every normal release cycle, Runway automatically re-signs your last live production build and preps it for a possible rollback release — including preemptive submission for review (iOS only) — to remove all possible sources of delay. Should something go wrong in prod, there’s always a corresponding rollback build ready and waiting for single-click release in Runway. \n\n![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/5ef1f28e08458502ba614d85/6555b0344379d5700b526a01_deploy-rollback-button.png)\n\nHere’s how the rollback flow works in a bit more detail:\n\n1. Your team is busy getting your next regularly-scheduled release out the door. Let’s call it version 1.2.0.\n2. In the background, Runway takes your latest live build in production — say, 1.1.0 — and re-signs it, bumping the version to 1.2.1 and incrementing the build number as necessary.\n3. Your team releases 1.2.0 as scheduled. Nice!\n4. The 1.2.1 rollback release is surfaced in Runway, just in case. For iOS, we also preemptively create a new version for the possible rollback in App Store Connect and submit the rollback build for review.\n5. Your team is monitoring the rollout of 1.2.0 and identifies a critical issue 🚨You halt the rollout.\n6. Right next to the button you used to halt the rollout, there’s another button to release the rollback build that’s ready and waiting. Click that, and you’re all set.\n\nWith rollback builds primed and ready to go, your team can address critical bugs in prod with a single click — cutting out all the lead time needed to investigate and implement a fix, get builds compiled and uploaded, and make it through the store review process.\n\n### Take the pressure out of hotfixes; triage more fully and fix more confidently\n\nEven if you ship a rollback to address an issue in prod, it doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily wait until your next regularly-scheduled release to issue a fix. In fact, it’s likely you’ll use rollbacks in conjunction with roll-forward hotfixes — and those hotfixes will be better as a result. Because rollbacks allow you to instantly stabilize a critical situation, you can take your time in triaging, investigating, implementing fixes, and then working through your hotfix release process.\n\n![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/5ef1f28e08458502ba614d85/6555b0ce132292bf3747a1af_rolllout-rollbacks-final.gif)\n\n### More predictable resolution timelines & fewer unanswerable questions from stakeholders\n\nEvery team knows the feeling of dread that hits when you’ve shipped a breaking change and leadership shows up in your #mobile Slack channel. _Is the fix in yet? Is the build approved by Apple? How about now?_ With rollbacks in Runway, you can actually respond to these kinds of asks, and give stakeholders confidence that the situation is under control.\n\n![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/5ef1f28e08458502ba614d85/6555b15743d1af6cfd9dcf50_slack-popup.png)\n\n### When you need a rollback, it’s there for you (batteries included). When you don’t, we’ll handle all the cleanup.\n\nRunway’s rollbacks functionality encompasses quite a few dependencies and steps which, if approximated manually each and every release, would require a lot of work — not just to prepare each rollback, but also to clean up unused rollbacks along the way. Now, you no longer have to choose between investing huge amounts of time and effort into setting up rollbacks manually or else forfeiting the safety net rollbacks provide.\n\n![](https://assets-global.website-files.com/5ef1f28e08458502ba614d85/6555b18d930993fe03666aaa_rollback-settings.png)\n\nWith rollbacks, Runway gives your mobile team _the quickest_ possible way to respond to critical issues in production. Instead of scrambling to identify, implement, and ship a fix, you can immediately “stem the bleeding” and resolve things with a single click. Stakeholders won’t hover wondering when a resolution will land, and your team can triage and implement fixes more confidently, without all the pressure that typically accompanies hotfix situations. Plus, rollbacks mitigate the serious negative impact to revenue and app store reviews that comes with a buggy app being in users’ hands for even just a couple of hours.\n\n### How to give Rollbacks a try\n\nYou can sign up for free on the [Runway site](http://runway.team), no credit card required, and we’re always available to give you a guided walkthrough — just get in touch!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/JqL-mobile-rollbacks-by-runway", "votes": 9, "created_at": "2023-11-16T17:50:09.865Z" }, { "id": 71808, "title": "📲 🚀 Build Distro by Runway", "tagline": "Better mobile build distribution for teams", "body": "## Build Distro makes it dead simple to get the right app builds into the right teammates’ hands\n\nMobile build distribution is hard. There’s the provisioning and signing gauntlet, of course, but the challenges don’t end there. Getting the right builds in front of the right teammates takes constant effort and shepherding, and creating an install flow that’s pain-free is difficult. Existing tooling options tend to jumble all different kinds of builds together and offer half-baked installation flows; the “human factors” aspect of build distribution is secondary, or ignored altogether.\n\nWe set about building a better, more foolproof and human-centric way.\n\n### What is Build Distro?\n\nBuild Distro allows you to clearly define and group the different types of mobile builds your team distributes – from one-offs and work-in-progress dev builds, to staging builds, to release candidates. You can avoid the usual jumbled pile of builds that folks have to carefully sift through, and give technical and non-technical team members alike an easier way to grab builds, with streamlined installation via QR or Slack link. With hassle-free distribution, your team can check out builds earlier and more often, improving collaboration and app quality.\n\nHere are some highlights:\n\n📲 **Get the right builds into the right people’s hands**\n\nBuild Distro introduces the idea of build buckets to allow you to clearly define and group different flavors of builds. Instead of having all distributed builds landing in that jumbled pile, you can now separate different kinds of builds using definitions based on branch, CI workflow, or some combination of both — or using more freeform, ad hoc buckets. Not only are build flavors logically separated into buckets, but you can set up targeted notifications and scope access per bucket to ensure the right people are aware of and able to seamlessly install new builds relevant to them.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71808&key=user_uploads/562880/830900f0-fe8a-4c8e-b050-5b86956de7d5)\n\n**✨ Share one-offs & early test builds more easily**\n\nWith branch-based and ad hoc, personal build buckets, Runway makes it much easier to share work-in-progress builds. You can create dedicated buckets for test builds and nightlies on your main development branch or any feature branches, and everyone on your team can also have their own personal buckets to drop updates into as they work. Product managers, QA, designers, and other engineers and stakeholders can now easily grab any WIP builds, earlier and more often during the development cycle, helping your mobile org improve quality and shift left.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71808&key=user_uploads/562880/e0e69e93-f6bd-4497-a3ed-7d50a23c68df)\n\n🔒 **Make it impossible to ship the wrong build to prod**\n\nOne of the worst failure modes around build distribution has to do with test or staging builds getting accidentally shipped to production. It may be rare, but when it happens, it can be devastating. Confusion around distributed build flavors is often to blame, and Runway’s build buckets remove this risk. Clearly delineate prod and pre-prod builds, and scope access accordingly.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71808&key=user_uploads/562880/5c3d452c-2760-44b9-98c6-eb3b97edef2d)\n\n**📥 Install app builds with less hassle, and more context**\n\nEven once someone has tracked down a build they want to check out, actually getting it onto their device comes with its own hassles. Runway makes installation foolproof and seamless: with each build, you can install directly by scanning a QR code or sending yourself a link in Slack. Plus, alongside each build you can see full context on the build flavor and exactly what work it contains — no more guesswork, pinging build numbers back and forth and hoping you’re grabbing the right version of the app.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71808&key=user_uploads/562880/a26f0045-ebdb-4b8b-9048-82f90457d415)\n\n⚙️ **Integrate with your existing tools for zero extra overhead**\n\nGetting up and running is simple: connect your existing CI and… that’s it. Once you’re connected, Runway will get you started with a few default shared buckets for development and RC builds, and anyone on your team can easily create scoped personal buckets. To define a new shared bucket, simply select a workflow (from among any defined in your CI, automatically pulled in by Runway), a branch, or some combination of both.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71808&key=user_uploads/562880/1bef9a17-07df-4d74-8d39-b1607e832e8e)\n\n🤝 **Standalone or tightly integrated with the rest of Runway**\n\nExactly how you leverage Build Distro is up to your team. You can spin up Build Distro by itself and use it as a standalone tool. Or, for a tightly integrated experience across the entire dev and release cycle, Build Distro plugs seamlessly into Runway’s end-to-end release management platform as a beta integration, allowing you to manage everything to do with pre-prod builds and testers alongside the rest of the release context. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71808&key=user_uploads/562880/21fcb35f-06ec-4ee9-8b97-529a179561bc)\n\n### Who is Build Distro for?\n\nBuild Distro is for mobile teams of all sizes who care about getting builds into the hands of team members and testers early and often. \n\nThere are a few team members that might be especially excited about Build Distro:\n\n* Mobile engineers who want to get more eyes on their in-progress work, well before it makes its way to the team’s main branch\n* PMs who care about checking out product work as it’s being developed, without having to hunt around for specific builds\n* QA folks who want to stay on top of testing without the volley of unintelligible build numbers over Slack\n* Anyone on the team, technical or non-technical, who cares about the product and wants to check out and help test builds pre-production\n\n \n\n### How to give Build Distro a try\n\nYou can sign up for free on the [Runway site](https://app.runway.team/signup?intent=buildDistro), no credit card required, and we’re always available to give folks a guided walkthrough as well – just get in touch!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IgC-build-distro-by-runway", "votes": 9, "created_at": "2023-05-24T15:53:19.752Z" }, { "id": 67143, "title": "📲 📈 Rollouts by Runway", "tagline": "Automate app rollouts with a full picture of release health", "body": "# A single source of truth for mobile release health, instantly understandable – and actionable\n\nAs former mobile engineers ourselves, the Runway team and I have experienced the challenge of rollouts firsthand  — and now, we’ve built something that can help. We’re excited to announce [_Rollouts_](https://www.runway.team/blog/introducing-rollouts-by-runway), a new part of the Runway platform that helps your team navigate rollouts with less collective stress, and more confidence. _Rollouts_ allows you to easily keep tabs on release health in just one place instead of many, alerts you whenever configured metrics become unhealthy, and safeguards release health by automatically halting rollouts based on thresholds you define.\n\n# What is _Rollouts_?\n\nHere are some highlights:\n\n### 🗺 The only complete picture of release health\n\nRollouts integrates with the mix of different tools you use to measure app health – crash reporting, observability & product analytics, the app stores (for per-version user ratings) – to create a single source of truth and unified dashboard that gives your team a holistic and instantly understandable view of release health at a glance. No more context-switching, no more mental overhead.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67143&key=user_uploads/562880/098822f9-93e6-4ac4-a612-c13ce50f187e)\n\n### 🌡 You define exactly what “healthy” means for your team\n\nAcross all tools and every metric, you can configure granular thresholds that together define what “healthy” looks like for your team. Runway will surface a crystal clear view of how each release is tracking relative to that definition. With expectations around health codified this way, there’s no room for ambiguity or hand-waving when it comes to your team’s standards for quality of the product you’re shipping.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67143&key=user_uploads/562880/479df881-d88e-4e1e-9cc2-d4ac27941bc4)\n\n### 🚨 Avoid blind spots and delays with instant alerting\n\nThe moment any of your configured metrics become unhealthy during a rollout, Runway will alert your team, in specific channels of your choosing and with full context on which metrics are problematic. You can be confident that no bad trends will go unnoticed – and that they can be acted on more quickly.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67143&key=user_uploads/562880/115d18e8-0167-47e6-8ce4-630bed0f564a)\n\n### 🛑 Automatically halt unhealthy rollouts\n\nBuilding on the custom thresholds you define, Runway can automatically halt unhealthy releases. With this automation enabled, if certain metrics of your choosing fall afoul of your acceptable thresholds during a rollout, Runway will automatically stop the rollout and alert your team. This prevents delays and human error, saving you from the negative consequences of a bad release making it out to even more users.\n\n_(Available on the Runway Pro plan and above.)_\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67143&key=user_uploads/562880/7f6156eb-df96-4332-b4d7-c432c4aac58f)\n\n### 💨 Automatically accelerate healthy rollouts\n\nIf all of your metrics are looking good and your rollout has reached a minimum number of users you define, Runway can accelerate things and release to all users immediately.

The endless options, opaque pricing, ambiguous features, and subjective and biased reviews make evaluating vendors challenging.\n\n**“Wait, but isn’t this solved?”** you may ask. Nope. Gartner (if you can afford the subscription), G2, and the like offer mostly generic insights. You’re on your own to determine exactly the solution that’s most relevant to you.\n\n### **What**\n\nSince our last launch, we’ve done extensive research into the needs of enterprise customers. This new platform is designed to be collaborative from the ground up, delivers clear, data-driven recommendations tailored to specific use cases, and comes with all the CYA you could imagine. We’ve also leaned in on AI to allow our analysts to assess, curate, and refresh vendor data much faster and in more categories for our customers.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81316&key=user_uploads/429966/fb671e0a-75df-4a8f-ae65-89332a95374c)\n\n**Key Features**\n\n1. Use case questionnaire to pinpoint your exact needs.\n2. AI and expert-assessed feature ratings for solutions.\n3. Real-time feedback based on your changing inputs.\n4. Over 100,000 AI and expert-curated data points.\n5. Real-time collaboration (Notion or Google Doc-like UX) and audit logs.\n6. Tailored reports based on detailed user inputs and needs.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81316&key=user_uploads/429966/bf97e132-5355-412a-af2a-ae7bf6ca2415)\n\nTaloflow helps its customers succeed by bringing transparency and precision to a process mired in confusion and subjectivity. We aim to change how businesses select technology by helping them skip the frustrating parts–like requirements gathering, vendor demos, prioritizing, and scoring–and presenting the best, unbiased insights.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=81316&key=user_uploads/429966/236b0f02-9afd-46d7-b1c5-20ad4c2a7964)\n\nLooking forward to hearing about the kinds of technology selection projects we can help you with!\n\n[Book a demo](https://www.calendly.com/taloflow/demo) or [try the product](https://use.taloflow.ai/signup) for free.\n\nUpside,\n\nLV", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/L9Y-taloflow-2-0-evaluate-tech-vendors-10x-faster", "votes": 6, "created_at": "2024-06-05T14:19:49.094Z" } ] }, { "id": 22663, "name": "MedMe Health", "slug": "medme-health", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/caddac306c8ff38ff1f26a77e311f70a0784ef09.png", "website": "https://www.medmehealth.com", "all_locations": "Toronto, ON, Canada", "long_description": "MedMe Health builds software for pharmacists to deliver paid clinical services like prescribing/adapting medications, point-of-care testing, giving vaccinations, and monitoring chronic conditions. \r\n\r\nOur web-based platform helps both independent pharmacies and large chains schedule appointments online, conduct virtual care, automate documentation, and flag clinical opportunities.

Waypoint makes it easy for software teams to design, orchestrate, monitor product-triggered emails. Think of it as an email delivery service that is geared for data-rich transactional emails (like order confirmations, reminders, receipts, alerts, and other system notifications).\n\n### **The problem**\n\nAdding data-rich email notifications to software in 2023 is still a pain. Most email tools are repurposed marketing email builders for templates with little to no dynamic data. This means getting data into branded templates and setting up logic around them (eg. delays) still requires significant code within your code base. Additionally, existing tools are lacking from an observability standpoint which makes it difficult for developers to test and debug.\n\nWhile it’s easy to hate on emails, the truth is that emails still act as the ‘[glue of UX](https://www.usewaypoint.com/blog/transactional-emails-the-glue-of-ux-for-marketplaces)’ for most platforms and it is often the key to onboarding and engaging users.\n\n### \n\n### **The solution**\n\n\\\n**Demo video (4.5 min)**\n\n\n\n\\\n**Design**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71975&key=user_uploads/18473/8cfed776-9039-4bee-8f46-0d679c59d098)\n\n* Create templates that match your brand in minutes.\n* Use our block-based template builder that works seamlessly with [Liquid templating](https://liquidjs.com/) and [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/).\n* Build with confidence knowing templates render well across clients and devices.\n\n\\\n**Orchestrate**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71975&key=user_uploads/18473/610a5230-8d68-4cd8-b6a2-3924c2cd6731)\n\n* Trigger templates and workflows using our simple [developer friendly API](https://www.usewaypoint.com/docs).\n* Automate workflows with conditionals and delays using a visual builder.\n* Deliver emails reliably through world-class infrastructure.\n\n\\\n**Monitor**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71975&key=user_uploads/18473/aa5c76c1-3ae6-4c24-9c22-587d837d450e)\n\n* See a full timeline of events. From initial trigger to clicks.\n* Be informed of bounces or any other exceptions.\n* Log a receipt of the full email content and data variables for every mail.\n\n\\\n**Customer quote**\n\n> _\"Waypoint team and support surpassed our expectations, ensuring a seamless transition from Sendgrid. Their liquid templating simplified the conversion of our existing emails, and since migrating, their service has been flawless. Our emails no longer end up in spam folders, leading to an impressive increase in our onboarding conversion rates.

Correlating across different tools is super critical for teams to get value out of their telemetry data and solve issues faster.\n* Using proprietary vendor instrumentation code, locks you in to a vendor as it is difficult to change your instrumentation at a later stage.\n* Sending all data to vendor cloud may have privacy and security concerns for some users esp. who have customer PII data or have to maintain a tighter security posture\n\n**🚀 Why SigNoz?**\n\n1. Single pane of glass for metrics, traces and logs in a single application. Ability to correlate across different telemetry signals very easily.\n2. Natively based on [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io) - and emerging open source standard for instrumentation and telemetry collection.\n3. Uses OLAP datastore (ClickHouse) which makes aggregation queries 10x faster compared to traditional DBs. \\\n More than 50-60% of observability related queries are aggregation queries like group by, sum, count where users want to aggregate their data\n4. Can be self hosted easily. Keep all observability data in your own cloud.\n\n💻 **Demo**\n\nHere’s a quick demo of the product\n\n[Demo Video](https://youtu.be/Tl3Cz8tz4R8)\n\n💪 **Logs Performance Benchmark**\n\nWe also published a performance benchmark recently on how SigNoz logs product performs compared to other open source logs solutions like Elastic\n\n[https://signoz.io/blog/logs-performance-benchmark/](https://signoz.io/blog/logs-performance-benchmark/?utm_source=launchYC&utm_medium=logs-benchmark)\\\n\\\n**🙏 Asks**\n\nTry out SigNoz and share your feedback on how it can be improved. Here’s our github repo - \n\nHave any questions? Join our [slack community](https://signoz.io/slack?utm_source=launchYC&utm_medium=slack-community) and drop a note\n\n😎 **What do we do for fun?**\n\nWe are a lean team constantly re-imagining the future of observability.

For RDs, we eliminate the administrative burdens of accepting insurance. **Find a dietitian today on our **[**website**](https://usenourish.com)**!**\n\n👋 Hi, everyone! We’re Aidan, Sam, and Stephanie, the co-founders of Nourish. After disappointing experiences with the healthcare system and finding resolutions through diet change, we launched Nourish to make high-quality nutrition care accessible to all Americans.\n\n### 🚑 Nutrition-related diseases are the biggest problem in US Healthcare\n\n[Poor nutrition is the root cause of chronic diseases affecting over half of Americans.](https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/infographic/chronic-diseases.htm) RDs are shown to be highly effective at preventing and managing the most prevalent chronic conditions, yet access to outpatient nutrition care has been limited due to a lack of in-network providers and prohibitively expensive cash-pay options. Access is particularly limited amongst lower-income patient populations that are disproportionately affected by poor nutrition. \n\n### 🧡 Nourish makes it easy to connect to an RD covered by insurance\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79753&key=user_uploads/366407/c090c94e-3bdd-4d6c-a63f-d0f754974761)\n\nNourish is a telenutrition platform that connects people to RDs covered by insurance. Our RDs provide personalized support for patients spanning different life stages and conditions, including adolescent eating disorders, perinatal care, diabetes and prediabetes, heart health, gut health, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and nearly 40 more. Using our app, patients can log meals, message with their RD, track health progress, and access personalized resources. \n\nThrough partnerships with most major health insurance companies, we offer services to 94% of patients for $0 out-of-pocket. We accept hundreds of insurance plans in all 50 states and are in-network with major insurance providers, including Aetna, Cigna, United, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare. \n\n### 🙏 Asks\n\n* Try Nourish and give us feedback!

Frustrated allergy suffers come to us when they no longer want to deal with pills and sprays. We diagnose the patient’s unique allergy profile and create a personalized treatment plan to give the patient lifelong allergy relief. Specifically, Wyndly is increasing access to sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for allergy care. For our patients, we're combining the convenience of telehealth and direct-to-consumer care with an exceptional patient experience that never loses the context of care.\r\n\r\nWyndly represents an opportunity to change allergy care forever. With 60 million Americans suffering from allergies today, and with this number doubling over the coming years, there's simply an incredible need for the convenient care Wyndly provides. \r\n\r\nYou can read more about us in [Techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/12/wyndly-aims-to-bring-allergy-drops-to-the-masses/).\r\n\r\nThe Wyndly Model \r\n\r\nAt Wyndly, we believe that better connections lead to better care, and we’re committed to making both happen at every step of the patient journey. Our allergy practice allows our patients to work with expert providers to develop personalized treatment plans for long-term allergy relief using clinically proven therapies. From a patient’s initial consultation to their final treatment delivery, we want the Wyndly experience to be a breath of fresh air for allergy sufferers – truly effective allergy relief, simply and efficiently delivered.\r\n\r\nOnce we've conquered allergies, we're transforming the care model for every chronic condition. While transactional care for purchasing pills has flourished in telehealth, no one has gone after chronic care. Patients with chronic conditions are shuffled between providers, insurance, and more -- and they never feel heard. These patients deserve better, and we're going to give it to them. Wyndly is starting with allergies, but we'll expand into asthma, sleep apnea, and other conditions in the near future.\r\n\r\nOur values\r\n\r\n**Compassion**: We approach all our patients and partners with an open mind and a genuine desire to be of service.\r\n\r\n**Focus**: We do a few things very well, and are always clear about our boundaries and direction of travel.\r\n\r\n**Courage**: We embrace ambiguity and discomfort because we know that’s how we grow.\r\n\r\n**Progress**: We make something better every single day.\r\n\r\n*It boils down to empathy and forward momentum in everything we do.*\r\n\r\nThe team\r\n\r\nWyndly is proudly backed by Y Combinator and a leading group of angel investors and VCs. The founders are Dr. Manan Shah (Chief Medical Officer), an ear-nose-and-throat surgeon who’s a leading practitioner of telehealth in his specialty, and his cousin Aakash Shah (CEO), who led growth engineering at SparkGift (acquired by Stockpile in 2016) and Parse.ly (acquired by Automattic in 2021).", "one_liner": "Life's better without allergies", "team_size": 18, "industry": "Healthcare", "subindustry": "Healthcare -> Consumer Health and Wellness", "launched_at": 1612583606, "tags": [ "Consumer Health Services", "Consumer", "Digital Health", "Healthcare" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2021", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Healthcare", "Consumer Health and Wellness" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Fully Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/wyndly", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2021/wyndly.json", "year_founded": 2020, "city": "New York City", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/wyndly", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/wyndlyhealth", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/Wyndly", "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/efc133877839e6a4953617e91a7ef726172acf80.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Jared Friedman", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/jared-friedman" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 137502, "full_name": "Aakash Shah", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Aakash Shah is an NYC-based entrepreneur and angel investor.

It doesn't solve the underlying problem; it just tries to cover it up. \n\nAllergy immunotherapy is the future. Most people don't realize that allergies are now a **curable** disease. In the future, taking Claritin for allergies is going to seem like taking Tylenol for an ear infection. Why would you treat the symptoms when you could just cure the disease?\n\nOur home allergy therapy builds up your immune tolerance against your allergies. This fixes the root cause of your symptoms, lets you forget about the pills, and provides lifelong relief. This clinically-proven treatment is now available via telemedicine.\n\n* Do you have a pet allergy but want a puppy 🐕?\n* Do you buy Kleenex in bulk?\n* Are you sick of your child’s never-ending cold?\n* Are you tired of allergy shots?\n\nLet Wyndly change your life forever. Our doctors are able to see, test, and treat patients for their allergies across the nation. \n\nStart with our 5 minute [at-home allergy test](https://www.wyndly.com/products/at-home-allergy-test-kit), or use insurance [to see a doctor (in CO, CA, FL only, right now).](https://www.wyndly.com/pages/allergy-consult-with-insurance)\n\n## Why allergies are a big deal\n\n40 million allergy sufferers in the US treat their allergies like a chronic condition — they take multiple medications to manage their symptoms. Imagine medicine cabinets full of Zyrtec, Claritin, Singular, Flonase, and more — all taken regularly. Most sufferers don't realize they can free themselves from these medications and allergies.\n\nManan Shah, is a board-certified ENT and allergist who has fixed thousands of patients of their allergies. During the COVID-19 crisis, we started Wyndly because Manan realized patients loved curing their allergies entirely from home.\n\n## How Wyndly fixes allergies\n\nWyndly uses home allergy immunotherapy to build up your immune system naturally so you can throw away the pills and live allergy-free.\n\nWe made the immunotherapy process as convenient as possible for our patients. Here's what it looks like:\n\n* Our nationally-certified allergy test is taken at home. It only requires a single finger-prick — not dozens of needles like an in-office allergy test.\n* Using these test results, we mix you personalized allergy drops which are taken by mouth. We send them straight to your door.\n* You have unlimited access to our medical care team. Our free online visits can be done on video, phone, or secure chat. We're with you from your initial consult to the day that you're allergy-free.\n\n### What are allergy drops?\n\nAllergy drops, also known as oral allergy immunotherapy, are a scientifically proven way to reduce allergic reactions which cause your sneezing, stuffiness, and constant runny nose. Similar to allergy shots, allergy drops work by introducing escalating doses of your personal allergy triggers to your body. This personalized treatment allows you to safely and naturally build up a tolerance. Over time, this reduces your allergy symptoms for the rest of your life.\n\nYour allergy symptoms will start to reduce within 6 weeks, and over the course of your therapy you'll develop life-long tolerance to your allergens.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Grn-wyndly-fix-your-pollen-pet-or-other-allergies-for-life", "votes": 20, "created_at": "2022-07-23T19:38:36.684Z" } ] }, { "id": 22708, "name": "Flux Auto", "slug": "flux-auto", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1782782e9f339f3d5ae2b7213cb07b675c29d2f7.png", "website": "https://fluxauto.ai", "all_locations": "Bengaluru, KA, India", "long_description": "Flux is building physical AI to automate material movement in warehouses and factories on legacy vehicle fleets.

We’re Nick Evans and Shayan Guha, co-founders of **Avocado** - a point-of-sale system for restaurants that now includes a **fully integrated AI assistant**. We’re thrilled to share our biggest update yet.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91825&key=user_uploads/258127/ce5f4736-b005-49ce-b579-8bf8596ce1e8)\n\n---\n\n## **🧠 The problem: running a restaurant is overwhelming**\n\nIndependent restaurant owners juggle dozens of tools, dozens of vendors, and constant interruptions - all while trying to serve food and keep customers happy. Managing the POS, updating menus, pulling sales reports, figuring out Instagram posts, dealing with changing prices… it’s a full-time job _on top of_ their actual full-time job.\n\nBut the real bottleneck? **Information is trapped in systems that don’t talk to each other**, and most POS systems are clunky, hard to use, or just dumb.\n\n---\n\n## **🍳 The solution: an AI agent that _knows_ your restaurant**\n\nAvocado is a POS system designed from the ground up to work with an AI assistant. Our agent understands your menu, your modifiers, your sales data, your customers, your staff - and it can take action across the system in real time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91825&key=user_uploads/258127/4f4d0889-0077-48bd-a427-72d160f30492)\n\nYou can ask it:\n\n* “Add a matcha latte to the menu for $5.50”\n* “What’s my best-selling item on weekends?”\n* “Update all egg-based items to reflect the new cost of eggs”\n* “Create a social media post featuring today’s specials”\n* “Tell me which servers had the highest tips last week”\n\n…and it just **does it**. Right away. No UI to navigate, no learning curve, no training required.\n\n💡 This is more than a chatbot. This is a **restaurant-native AI agent** with full control over the POS, KDS, kiosk, and online ordering systems - like having a superpowered GM in your pocket.\n\n---\n\n# **Check out our launch video here**\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2QaQdDJlb0\n\n---\n\n# **✨ Here are some examples from the video:**\n\n**Prompt** “Add a matcha latte to the menu”\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91825&key=user_uploads/258127/f4589fd7-69da-40c2-8d3f-a16fd766dbad)\n\n**Prompt** “Write an Instagram post announcing our new matcha lattes”\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91825&key=user_uploads/258127/3e7c0988-ed76-486c-b3e0-e96ecb21629f)\n\n**Prompt** “Raise all the prices of my egg dishes by 10%, round to the nearest quarter”\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91825&key=user_uploads/258127/0bfaae04-2776-442b-b3ba-3679ecedf2c7)\n\n**Prompt** “We’re out of bacon.

But they were stuck with outdated POS systems or janky integrations between too many tools.\n\nSo we built Avocado to be the _last_ system a restaurant needs - tightly integrated hardware + software, a beautiful POS UI, and now, a deeply capable AI agent.\\\n(Also, we were frustrated that nobody else had done it right. So we did.)\n\n---\n\n## **📣 Call to action**\n\nWe're looking to work with independent restaurants, food trucks, cafes, and anyone tired of using 5 different tools to run their shop. If you want to try Avocado or just want to chat about what we’re building:\n\n📬 Email us: [founders@avocadopos.com](mailto:founders@avocadopos.com)\\\n📱 Text us: (512) 580-7988\\\n🌐 Website:[ https://avocadopos.com](https://avocadopos.com)\n\n---\n\n## **🙏 Asks**\n\n* If you know restaurant owners - especially in Texas or California - please send them our way.\n* We’d love feedback on the demo and ideas for what the AI agent should do next.\n\nThanks YC - can’t wait to hear what you think.\\\n**Nick & Shayan**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91825&key=user_uploads/258127/00157e2d-711b-4e9d-a612-d43f7e95d3b3)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Nt3-avocado-restaurant-pos-with-a-built-in-ai-agent", "votes": 18, "created_at": "2025-07-03T13:21:35.353Z" } ] }, { "id": 22718, "name": "BeWell Digital", "slug": "bewell-digital", "former_names": [ "bwell.digital", "bewell digital", "BeWell digital" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/8ca19ad5afea17ab8c1d3f189f862aaf5a8f67ef.png", "website": "http://www.bewelldigital.com", "all_locations": "Coimbatore, TN, India; Remote", "long_description": "4 Billion radiology scans are generated every year, but unfortunately, 1 in 5 reports are wrong and 35% of the studies are delayed.

We've been heads-down on MalwareAnalyzer (): a public malware analysis and threat intelligence platform. Submit a file, a URL, or a hash and get a verdict backed by real evidence. Public analysis is free and unlimited, and no account is required.\n\nWe just crossed 500,000 samples analyzed, which felt like a reasonable excuse to finally post here.\n\n**What's actually in it**\n\n**Multi-engine static scanning.** Free and open engines (ClamAV, YARA, hash feeds, static tooling) run locally; third-party AV engines run on an isolated in-VPC Windows scanner. The report shows only the engines that actually ran — no padded vendor list.\n\n**Real sandbox detonation.** We execute the sample, not just scan it. Full behavior capture across process, file, registry and network activity.\n\n**Interactive live-VM analysis.** Take the wheel mid-detonation: click through installers, dismiss dialogs, trigger the behavior that only fires on user interaction. Choose your guest OS, network mode and engine — and diff two builds side by side.\n\n**URL and phishing analysis.** Paste a link and get the redirect chain, hosting and verdict without touching it yourself.\n\n**Queryable threat-intelligence graph.** Pivot from a sample out to infrastructure, families and related samples. Search the whole corpus by content, indicator, MITRE technique or family — then save it as a standing hunt and get notified when something new matches.\n\n**ATT&CK mapping with receipts.** Every technique is attributed to its source (static capa rule vs. observed at runtime) with confidence weights, plus rule-set hashes so a report is reproducible.\n\n**Reports that admit what they don't know.** If an analysis tier fails to complete, the report is marked degraded and queued for re-analysis rather than presented as clean coverage. A report with no findings _and_ no degradation notice is a real negative result.\n\n**An API with no key required.**\n\n\\`\\`\\`\n\ncurl -X POST \\\\\n\n -H 'content-type: application/json' \\\\\n\n -d \"{\\\\\"fileName\\\\\":\\\\\"sample.bin\\\\\",\\\\\"fileBase64\\\\\":\\\\\"$(base64 < sample.bin | tr -d '\\\\n')\\\\\"}\"\n\n\\`\\`\\`\n\nReturns a task id and a report URL. Submissions are unlimited; lookups are capped at 1,000/day per IP.\n\n**Why this might matter even if you're not a security company**\n\nSomeone on your team is eventually going to get a strange attachment, an unsigned installer from a vendor, or a \"recruiter\" link that smells wrong. Drop it in and get an answer in about a minute - better than a Slack thread of guesses.\n\nFree covers submissions and full reports. Premium compute (private analysis, deep URL scans, the AI assistant) runs on credits, and every account starts with a free grant.\n\nHappy to go deep on any of this - the interactive sandbox was by far the hardest part to get right.

We do this by building autonomy software that tag-teams _with_ human drivers. \\\n\\\nConventional trucks drive \\~120K miles/year. Trucks with our tech can hit more than 190K miles/year. Since truckers make money by the mile, this has a direct impact on earnings. Watch [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL_vNhlEzOM).\n\n### **Why should you care?**\n\nThere is this saying: If its in your home, a truck brought it. Nearly 72% of all freight in America is moved by hard working truckers. 3.5 Million of them. But unfortunately theirs is an ageing pool and not many young folks are joining the workforce. Those who do, frequently quit within a year - a leaky bucket. To add to that, trucks are expected to drive 57% more miles in the coming years to keep up with demand.\n\n### **But aren’t we expecting driverless trucks to solve this?**\n\nTo some extent yes, but fully driverless long haul solutions has its own constraints, new costs, new risks and require **major** operational changes to how freight is moved today (i.e. point to point, direct to destination). Driverless freight needs to be routed via hubs → 2x stops, 2x handoffs and offers limited operational flexibility / geographical reach. Most small and medium carriers need operational flexibility + geographical reach.\n\nSo if we look at driverless trucks as a tool, its clear they are necessary, but we need complementary solutions that seamlessly work for most.\n\n### **The solution**\n\nEngineer autonomy such that it makes our existing drivers most productive and happy. So, we are building autonomy software that’s designed from the ground up to tag-team _with_ human drivers.\n\nWe offer our solution as an end-to-end service: autonomous ready freight search, automated driving in service zones, effortless payments.\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ohwis2MAaEYhyFZ_A7gxRCUgO6acSak3BzAD5rBNX5T5BDSrnaXTC9vZ9wx9U1AoU0H-rdrt5mfSS5_nxMY0m6f2JWq9UBQApkSzt_TmPPI_1nkfuc6TnjW0JwEa68r6pRSR98LHKrDAu1HHVTRRHrKlhLsj2wArEAh0aZkZfol97pO2knImqZliUBBlPw)\n\nFor truck drivers, having access to our software is like having access to a **second driver that drives on-demand.** This helps increase:\n\n* ⏳ **Productivity**\n* 🚛 **Trucking capacity**\n* 💰 **Driver and fleet revenue**\n\n### **How we are different?**\n\nWe’re _not_ building human-less trucks for a few large carriers.\n\nWe’re building the **most practical and driver friendly** autonomous system to serve 90% of the trucking industry\n\n* Using existing team driving model truckers are familiar with\n* Delivering both operational flexibility and geographical reach\n* _No need for_ new infrastructure, process changes or multiple hand-offs\n* In sync with current US [federal policy](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/04/04/fact-sheet-the-biden-administrations-unprecedented-actions-to-expand-and-improve-trucking-jobs/) related to trucker jobs\n* Similar monetary _savings_ for carriers, as driverless.\n\nOur tech stack’s architecture leverages advances in modern AI, making our dev 10x more capital efficient.\n\n### **About the founders:**\n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/X6gKAXbkWpIjj_XRuOC_kTd3henCDJAnZNraOJGg1v6OfearPdJ1rUGqM9gtReiDo9PzeAnXXMvS6bRr-6ArDK_N4PoUazl5BK2N1pPmuPwiBPHSzKwQT9Grx8wyb2CszzCyR-OrlqQNduBd8WtyaToOy2qBNLjMljgMxw3-Mblqivn7RclfFEcCgOj0QA)\n\n[Addwiteey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/addwiteey-chrungoo-06693320/) met [Sandesh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandeshgwd/) at Caterpillar where they helped bring the world’s largest autonomous trucks into production.

Traditional monitoring systems are slow, inaccurate, and expensive to maintain, which is why we developed advanced sensors to detect and mitigate these issues in real-time.

You appoint Firstbase as your registered agent in every state where you operate or have employees, and we receive and view notices from the government, give you reminders about compliance events, and monitor your compliance status in each state, file annual reports, BOI reports, and franchise taxes. We will also help you register and maintain your payroll accounts in any state where you want to hire any employee — this way, you can avoid paying extremely high EOR fees (often around \\~$700/employee/month) and instead hire an employee through your own entity. And, of course, we help you fulfill the legal obligation of having a registered agent in every state where you operate. \\\n\\\nOne huge difference between us and other state compliance providers is that we actually own and operate our own entities in all 50 states as a licensed commercial registered agent. So we have direct contact with the state and don’t have to rely on any third parties for anything.\n\nWhy it’s important: to give an example, if you hire an employee in a new state and need payroll accounts, your payroll tax registration partner will typically work with a network of registered agents in different states and won’t really have control over anything. They’ll often need that third party to sign off on forms, which slows things down and often leads to operational nightmares.\n\nNow, almost 15,000 companies are using Firstbase Agent, and we have decided to do something nice and give part of the functionality **_free of charge_**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79631&key=user_uploads/604873/0ace0f6e-0c19-40fb-8a7c-5df9da57e478)\n\n\\\nMeet [**_Firstbase Agent Intro_**](https://firstbase.io/agent-intro?utm_source=bookface&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=bookface_V1) — the simplest way to manage state compliance. We’d love to get your feedback. And again, it’s free.\n\nAgent Intro is designed for founders who currently manage their business compliance outside of the Firstbase platform, and use a different commercial registered agent. Agent Intro includes three awesome features:\n\n1. 📁 **Initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) filing**: The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network requires all companies to file this on an ongoing basis, and we’ll take care of it for you!\n2. 2\\. 🚥 **Firstbase command center**: Get an instant overview of your compliance status in every state where your business operates.\n3. 3\\. ✅ **State compliance reminders**: We’ll track your deadlines and let you know about any required actions.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79631&key=user_uploads/604873/860e4f94-e0f4-46a7-9185-6d84d5748c93)\n\nNo more scrolling through different state websites to find due dates — we make it easy to track everything in one place.\n\nWe’ll be launching Agent Intro soon, and we would love to see you among its first users!

Check it out here: [https://parsagon.io/solutions/api](https://parsagon.io/solutions/api)**\n\nHi YC! We've built a global database of legislation, regulations, and other government publications. It updates daily and currently covers 70+ countries.\n\nWe originally built this for a handful of enterprise policy monitoring workflows, but we keep meeting founders who need reliable regulatory data for very different products/verticals (e.g., automating compliance workflows). Rather than trying to build every vertical ourselves, we're opening the dataset via API so you can build on top of it.\n\n**What It Looks Like**\n\nThe API is pretty simple: give a data category, and get a list of documents back:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98455&key=user_uploads/145104/f67f65dd-772a-4bfd-b1ee-a982b71afea4)\n\nYou can search for documents with date ranges and search queries as well:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=98455&key=user_uploads/145104/c4c17ef5-5dfc-4d52-a468-33c3763099b3)\n\nTo see more examples, check out our docs: \n\n**What's Different About Parsagon**\n\nWe've seen a few solutions attempt to provide global regulatory/policy data, but they often are far from comprehensive. They often only include data for specific verticals/workflows, lack data for “smaller” jurisdictions, or just don't work as advertised (one of our customers said one provider only had half their data available via API - the other half was sent to them as excel spreadsheets of new regulations manually put together by humans each week).\n\nParsagon is built on AI research that generates and maintains data pipelines for government sources, which lets us scale coverage faster and keep it current.\n\nIf you need a source/jurisdiction we don’t have yet, just request it! We can usually add new coverage quickly. As one example, when a Global 500 tech company asked for \\~20 additional countries, we added them within two weeks.\n\n**Who Uses Our Data**\n\nParsagon helps Global 500 teams track new legislation, regulations, and policy developments. Examples:\n\n* A streaming platform tracks media/broadcasting rules in \\~60 countries\n* Multiple pharma companies track healthcare policy across 20+ countries\n* A major airline tracks policy developments across the EU\n\nIf you’re building anything that needs regulatory context (or you want to expand your existing product into more jurisdictions), we’d love to chat!

For example, one financial firm gave us a list of 1,000 companies on which they wanted historical data, and we were able to add that data to our API within a few days for a fraction of what it would cost from Pitchbook.\n\n## **How you can help:**\n\n* If you want to try out the API, email us at [founders@parsagon.io](mailto:founders@parsagon.io)\n* Do you know a VC or other financial firm that would be interested? Feel free to reach out to us at [founders@parsagon.io](mailto:founders@parsagon.io)\n* Not what the data you were trying to track? Reach out anyway! Our AI generated everything needed to get the data above in about two weeks, and it might be able to handle your use case just as easily!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Ked-parsagon-real-time-fundraising-data-for-cheaper", "votes": 21, "created_at": "2024-03-14T20:13:13.386Z" }, { "id": 77241, "title": "Parsagon - Scrape sites with just their URLs", "tagline": "Give a list of URLs, get back a set of scrapers!", "body": "**Hi YC! We’re excited to announce that Parsagon now offers a new AI scraping service: you give a list of URLs, and you get back a set of scrapers!**\n\n**The Problem:**\n\nParsagon's AI allows you to generate web scrapers from natural language prompts. For example, you can get city population data from Wikipedia by telling our AI:\n\n> **_Go to _**[**_https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities_**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities)**_. Scrape data in the format \\[{\"city\": \"str\", \"link\": \"link\", \"population\": \"num\"}\\]_**\n\nThis works fine if you want to scrape a single site, but what if you want to scrape dozens, hundreds, or thousands of sites? What if each site works differently and needs a slightly different prompt? While it's faster than writing thousands of scrapers, writing thousands of prompts is still a lot of work.\n\n**The Solution:**\n\nNow you can give Parsagon a list of sites and the data you want from each site, and we'll pass that list to Upworkers trained to use Parsagon. The Upworkers write a prompt for each site, and you get scrapers for a fraction of the time/cost it would take to write code or hire developers! 🎉 For example, companies are using Parsagon to:\n\n* generate scrapers that monitor hundreds of state/local government websites for events and announcements related to economic policy\n* generate scrapers for thousands of company websites to get details on private companies’ financials and investors\n* scrape laws from government websites across the EU to create an AI legal assistant\n\n**The Ask:**\n\nIf you want to try out the service, email us at [**founders@parsagon.io**](mailto:founders@parsagon.io)!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/K5p-parsagon-scrape-sites-with-just-their-urls", "votes": 13, "created_at": "2024-01-08T21:15:26.083Z" }, { "id": 72447, "title": "Parsagon - GPT for browser automations ⚡️", "tagline": "Create browser automations with natural language", "body": "**Hi YC! We’re excited to announce that you can now use Parsagon to create browser automations with natural language!**\n\n**The Problem:**\n\nIf you want to do something like the following:\n\n* Go to a website, enter a query into a search bar, and get all the search results as JSON\n* Check a website for changes/updates every day\n* Test a form on your website with many different inputs, and run the tests on command\n\nYou usually have to write code. And then you might have to write code to monitor whether the website’s format has changed. And if the website changes, you need to write even more code. This is tedious and time-consuming for developers, and as an AI researcher, I wanted to use my research to build a better way to create automations…\n\n**The Solution:**\n\nWe’ve trained GPT to use Parsagon’s AI, which is built specifically to write Python code for web page interactions and web scraping. Now you can type something like:\n\n> _‘Go to _[_https://assessment.cot.tn.gov/TPAD/_](https://assessment.cot.tn.gov/TPAD/)_. Select \"Carter\" from the County dropdown. Type \"WEST DOE AVE\" into the Search Term box and hit enter. Scrape data in the format \\[{\"owner\": \"str\", \"address\": \"str\"}\\], clicking the Next button up to 3 times.’_\n\nand Parsagon will create a Python program to do what you described using Selenium. 🎉\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72447&key=user_uploads/145104/52d57427-2220-4040-bc2e-5ac6c22a5a46)\n\nAs shown above, you can make complex browser automations in just 3 steps:\n\n* Type what you want the automation to do.\n* Parsagon will explore the website(s) you mentioned to create a Python program. Parsagon will show you an abridged version of what the program does, and if it looks correct, you can save the program to be run whenever you want. The program doesn’t use GPT, making it cheaper, faster, and more consistent.\n* You can use Parsagon to schedule your automations, alert you when a website’s format has changed and/or automatically try to adapt to format changes, and change the parameters of your automations (e.g., Parsagon will generate a program that allows you to change “Carter” and “WEST DOE AVE” to other values on each run in the example above).\n\n**Asks:**\n\n* If you want to try out the product, email us at [founders@parsagon.io](mailto:founders@parsagon.io) and we will move you up the waitlist to use the product.\n* If you know anyone who might be interested in using our tool, we’d appreciate an intro!

We’re excited to announce that [Parsagon](https://parsagon.io/) is offering an API with which you can **collect product data from any e-commerce site with 1 API call**.\n\n### **🤯 The Problem**\n\nIf you’re trying to get data on products from e-commerce sites like Amazon, Etsy, etc., you essentially have 2 options:\n\n1. 1\\. Develop or purchase web scrapers for every site, which are time-consuming and expensive to build and maintain.\n2. 2\\. Use a product data API, where you provide a URL to a product page, and the API tries to extract product data from the page via ML models. This is cheaper, but these APIs often return inaccurate data for 20+% of product pages. We’ve seen these APIs say the price of a $350 TV was $16 because the warranty was $16, we’ve seen them say a price was $3400 when it was really $34.00, we’ve seen them say products were in stock when they were out of stock—the list goes on and on.\n\nAs developers, we at Parsagon have spent countless hours building and maintaining such web scrapers and wishing that we could use a product data API without sacrificing the accuracy and reliability of custom scrapers.\n\n### **💡 The Solution**\n\n**Parsagon provides a product data API with near 100% reliability.** We avoid the inaccuracies of previous product data APIs by using a novel AI to generate custom scrapers for every e-commerce website, ensuring that we consistently return accurate data for each site. Just give our API a URL for a product or list of products, and Parsagon will build a scraper for the site (if it hasn’t already) and return data for your product(s) with a standardized format.\n\nFor example, giving the API the URL for this page\n\n![uploaded image](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post&id=70282&key=user_uploads/145104/ac033de5-2e1e-4e30-b6bf-0b8dbb1faf28)\n\nyields:\n\n```\n{\n```\n\n```\n\"name\": \"Amazon eero 6 mesh Wi-Fi system | Supports speeds up to 500 mbps | Connect to Alexa | Coverage up to 4,500 sq. ft. | 3-pack, one router + two extenders, 2020 release\",\n\"price\": 179.99,\n\"regular_price\": 199.99,\n\"currency\": \"$\",\n\"sku\": \"B085WSCTS4\",\n\"out_of_stock\": false,\n. . .\n```\n\n```\n}\n```\n\nAnd giving the API the URL for this page\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70282&key=user_uploads/145104/061755a7-0e01-4b75-8fa1-080259038282)\n\nyields\n\n> ```\n> [\n> \n> ```\n>\n> ```\n> {\n> \"name\": \"WICKER KURA BED- Pretty Stickers- Peel and Stick- Gifts- Adhesive Kura Bed Designs- Room Decor- Wicker Designs- Customizable Kura Beds\", \n> \"link\": \"https://www.etsy.com/listing/1141689620/wicker-kura-bed-pretty-stickers-peel-and?click_key=aa9bb9d8d3aaf77acefa1143c7d023c6631c1c59%3A1141689620&click_sum=5ea4b26e&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=beds&ref=search_grid-367299-1-1&pro=1&frs=1\", \n> \"price\": 58.99, \n> \"regular_price\": 78.66, \n> \"currency\": \"$\", \n> \"sku\": \"1141689620\", \n> \"out_of_stock\": false, \n> . . . \n> },\n> {\n> \"name\": \"Upholstered SOFT WALL PANELS for King or Queen size beds.\",\n> . . . \n> },\n> . . . \n> ]\n> \n> ```\n\n### **❓ Our Asks**\n\nIf you want an easier way to collect product data, email us at [founders@parsagon.io](mailto:founders@parsagon.io)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IHa-parsagon-universal-api-for-product-data", "votes": 31, "created_at": "2023-03-14T19:55:07.287Z" }, { "id": 68413, "title": "Parsagon - Geographic data for half the price", "tagline": "Our AI collects land parcel data faster and cheaper than current solutions", "body": "**tl;dr: Parsagon is now offering a data service on all U.S. land parcels for 50% cheaper**\n\nParsagon is an AI that can auto-generate web scrapers and data pipelines.

After three years of building and learning, we found a bigger challenge with meetings: Being present in the conversation while taking notes. Today, we’re launching Superpowered AI Notes ⚡️\\\n\\\n**Problem**: \n\nIt’s hard to write notes while you’re talking. And, other solutions like Otter and Fireflies send bots to your calls.\\\n\\\n**Solution**:\n\nA bot-free AI Notes product.\n\n🔥 **It's good enough to replace your note-taking**. You can use AI Templates to adapt the notes to your format and style.\n\n🤖 **No bots in your meetings**. Superpowered takes the audio directly from your device, so you can take notes without sending intrusive recording bots into Zoom and Google Meet calls.\n\n🔒 **No audio, video, or transcripts stored**. Audio is transcribed live and deleted immediately. Similarly, transcripts are removed shortly after processing.\n\nSuperpowered comes with an absolutely free trial, supporting every video conferencing client on both Mac (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows.\n\nYou can check us out at [superpowered.me](http://superpowered.me)\n\n[![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72254&key=user_uploads/174323/e9175dd2-6144-43f4-aecb-944196df4306)](http://superpowered.me)\n\nWe're grateful your support and can't wait for you to try Superpowered AI Notes 🫶\n\nLet us know what you think.

The only way to deal with them is to cultivate sustainable dietary and lifestyle habits.\n\nChronic conditions have always been on the rise due to changing lifestyles, dietary habits, and environmental factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has only served to intensify this alarming trend, catapulting it to new heights.\n\nTo put it in perspective, Today more than **70%** of the adult population in the US report having one or more long-term health conditions that impact their quality of life and this number is rising.\\\n\\\n_Chronic illnesses account for **75% of all healthcare expenses** in the US._\n\nAlthough genetics play a role, most chronic illnesses are influenced by social determinants of health, such as sleep, diet, fitness, and stress. The power to make a difference lies largely with the individual.\n\nIn order to solve this problem, we need to shift the agency. So far the agents of healthcare have been doctors, nurses, and paramedics and the venue of healthcare has been hospitals and clinics and this needs to shift. The agent has to be the individual themselves and the venue has to be wherever the individual is, the home, their office, or wherever else.\n\n### **What’s the problem with Chronic condition management now?**\n\nI’ll walk you through the problems of the existing approach through the **story of our client👩🏻** Jennifer who is a lawyer in London.\n\nShe has a busy life and started experiencing peri-menopause symptoms like gut issues and hot flashes at 50.\n\nShe took medication but they only gave her temporary relief.\n\nThe symptoms kept on coming back and this affected her family and work life causing a lot of stress for her.\n\nHer mental health took a toll and that impacted her physical health.\n\nShe became trapped in a vicious flywheel, where her declining mental health fueled her physical deterioration, and vice versa.\n\n### **Our Solution✅**\n\nJennifer joined our program.\n\nShe received personalized Ayurvedic diet plans based on her body type. Through the program, she learned healthy diet habits and how to eat food in the right way, discovering the power of food as medicine.\n\nJennifer had a dedicated health coach who kept her motivated and supported her throughout her healing journey. She also did 1-1 therapeutic yoga sessions that were tailor-made for her condition. These sessions not only provided physical exercise but also helped her calm down in a way that a normal yoga session wouldn't.\n\nIn addition to this, Jennifer had access to a community of supportive women who were going through the same phase as her, creating a sense of belonging and support.\n\nOur Nirva app helped Jennifer stay accountable to her goals through customized progress tracking. The app provided her with a gamified healing experience and helped her build sustainable dietary and lifestyle habits.\n\nWith consistent effort, Jennifer's symptoms subsided within just 3 months. She gained control over her health and her life, and we couldn't be happier to have been a part of her journey.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70803&key=user_uploads/528396/b0c71ae2-86ee-4d8c-8052-dd8c006a85ad)\n\nOur customer love is Insane-Don’t have to take our word for it.

We keep it simple and user-friendly in a tool built for everyone. Procoto automates the collection of RFP, contract, and vendor information into a centralized system and highlights savings opportunities based on historical data.\n\n\n\n### 😍 **Community fav features**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71192&key=user_uploads/488165/d8592dd5-c2e2-4c7c-a311-5d8074c6eb9c)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71192&key=user_uploads/488165/9351376a-c992-482d-97d0-b34f049aed42)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71192&key=user_uploads/488165/39700cd7-521e-4664-ae5c-a319dd365891)\n\n### **🤡 Why us?**\n\nWe built procurement organizations at a couple of startups and have used 30+ of our competitors’ software.

Veery’s flat form factor gives it way more solar power and lets it sail on top of the atmosphere for a closer view of the surface. Veery will map ocean surface vector winds, soil moisture, and sea ice globally, every hour, with 100 m - 6 km resolution.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79524&key=user_uploads/349337/fe836808-1163-4870-b7d1-7849bbbadb47)\n\n### **🚀 Traction**\n\nIn the last four months, we built and launched the smallest radar satellite in history! And we did it with pre-seed funding and a team of two. In the same timeframe, we received $50M worth of LOIs from the Air Force, the National Weather Service, and several maritime companies.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79524&key=user_uploads/349337/563a1d03-1716-4c5d-a467-4ad4ff993d97)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79524&key=user_uploads/349337/20167ab2-c237-4521-995e-2b2b114502c8)\n\n### **Asks**\n\nHelp us build a disaster-free future!\n\n* Follow us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CareWeather) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/careweather/).\n* If you work with weather data or in a weather-sensitive business, [sign up for our waitlist](https://careweather.com/waitlist)!

Scan any event badge, business card, or QR code, instantly enrich the lead with accurate data, and sync it into your CRM with full attribution. Events have been stuck with outdated tools for too long. We’re bringing AI-powered enrichment and modern technology to a world ready for disruption.\n\n\\\nHey everyone! 👋\\\n\\\nI’m [Jason](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonalco/), co-founder & CEO at [Popl](https://hubs.ly/Q03RBCTQ0). We’re building the **universal lead capture and enrichment platform for in-person events** — helping companies instantly turn real-world conversations into measurable sales pipeline.\n\n# 🔥 **The Problem**\n\nCompanies (and startups, see data below!) spend **$20K–$1M+** per booth at conferences.\n\nThey send their best reps and team members. They fly the team out, book hotels, pay for meals, etc. They invest in beautiful booths and marketing.\n\nBut when it comes to capturing leads, most still rely on:\n\n* Clunky badge scanner apps that barely work\n* Writing info down in Apple notes or collecting LinkedIns\n* CSVs from event organizer delivered _weeks_ after the event\n* No CRM integrations meaning slow speed to lead/follow-ups\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95162&key=user_uploads/479381/85854025-5908-4824-bf0e-80d2b029de7f)\n\nThe result?\n\n**Slow follow-ups (leading to your competitors winning more), lost leads, and lower ROI on events.**\n\nWhat if there was a platform that solved all of this, that GTM teams could set up once and then use across every single event…\n\n# 🚀 **Our Solution**\n\nPopl provides your company with a unified in-person GTM platform that:\n\n* Scans any event badge, business card, or LinkedIn QR with the same app every time.\n* Enriches each scan with accurate contact + company data (work email, phone numbers, LinkedIn, company revenue, tech stack, HQ location, etc.)\n* Allows you to add context like notes, qualifying questions, and tags to each lead.\n* Syncs it automatically to your CRM in seconds — HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Zoho, Dynamics, Monday, Slack, etc all natively supported.\n* Manage everything through event campaigns which also show leaderboards, pipeline generated, and ROI.\n\n**All while your team members stay focused on their conversations, not the tools. Plus no more waiting for CSV uploads, manual data entry, or other post-event headaches.**\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVAza1f74MU\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95162&key=user_uploads/479381/4c32029c-d3b5-4bc1-8740-f89166adf1e4)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95162&key=user_uploads/479381/2eec6c29-0795-4dbe-bca9-354b185f75b6)\n\n# **🤔 Is This For Us?**\n\nNow some might assume events are only for big, legacy companies and not for startups or mid-market companies. But here’s what we’re seeing:\n\n1️⃣ With AI flooding channels like cold email and cold calling, in-person GTM is surging. People still want to buy from people (and especially not from AI), and when digital outreach feels saturated and impersonal, meeting potential buyers face-to-face gives you a real edge.\n\n2️⃣ The GTM data on startup companies shared by [@Richard Lee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zrlee/) showed a hidden insight that “Attending conferences” is the 3rd most popular growth strategy for YC startups. This shows events are not just a nice-to-have, they are a core growth lever.\n\n3️⃣ We’re already seeing modern, fast-growing companies adopt Popl — like Square, Hammerspace, MavenAGI, Turing, Vercel, and Wiz. Events aren’t just for legacy enterprises; they’re becoming a key channel for the next generation of breakout startups.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95162&key=user_uploads/479381/58dc8dbf-aec3-4f44-b902-15d055feeecd)\n\n# 🤝 **Next Steps**\n\nIf you want to get started with Popl, or are interested in learning more, book a demo with us here:[ ](https://popl.co/pages/request-a-demo)[**Book a Demo**](https://hubs.ly/Q03RBCTQ0)\n\nWe especially love providing value to the YC community, so let us know on your demo that you came from this Launch YC post and we’ll give you a significant discount!\n\n**THANK YOU! 🚀**", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Oks-popl-make-conferences-events-your-best-gtm-channel", "votes": 102, "created_at": "2025-11-13T18:39:43.622Z" } ] }, { "id": 22879, "name": "Fathom", "slug": "fathom", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/cef88933ea79fe84401faaf1ce8c0ecd65c642a3.png", "website": "https://www.fathom.ai", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA; Remote", "long_description": "Fathom captures your meetings your way – bot or bot-free, on any call.

We're [Anton](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vaisburd/), [Kirill](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirill-kirikov-96507425/), and [Volodymyr](https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyr-sofinskyi/), the founders of Datrics!\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/-fQNLKIkTNHACsAApJGUhMSYsAcyt4yWRC4sdU3vVd8cu8vWQ-zS0y2mm-gjbss4U8ojszRmR0aiJJEUp8n_FfhTUhB5Vduz40M0OuXzmRgcEiQAgEmXoPsV2SNiP-zWPysLjH9s1rwn)\n\nFor the past years, we have been dedicated to solving data consolidation and insight delivery challenges for traditional enterprises such as banks and credit unions, minimizing time to insights. Their combined expertise in data science consulting, app development, and advanced financial analytics has been pivotal in delivering timely and relevant insights.\n\n**The problem - Too many spreadsheets, data sources, and an overload of tasks**\n\nManagers spend 70% of their time on routine tasks, leaving little room for strategic decision-making.\n\nSometimes, understanding the organization's financial streams requires handling complex spreadsheets or enduring long waits for reports, slowing down the decision-making process. Data is scattered across various platforms and formats, making it difficult to access and analyze. This results in delays and inefficiencies, with data analysts spending most of their time cleaning and organizing data rather than providing timely insights.\n\nAs a result, valuable time and energy are wasted, diverting attention away from critical strategic goals. How can we streamline these processes and empower managers and knowledge workers to make quicker, more informed decisions?\n\n**Datrics - The only digital analyst you need to get your questions answered quickly.**\n\nThat's where Datrics steps in. An AI virtual analyst as the new team member with data analytics expertise who's always ready to help. Our solution is here to change how businesses interact with data questions and tasks.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79775&key=user_uploads/355612/85f92382-6213-4417-8708-b7bb07d1b74c)\n\n**Another Data Analytics platform?**\n\nDatrics Digital Co worker differentiates itself from Microsoft Copilot and other low-code platforms by addressing specific enterprise needs in sales and finance. Unlike Copilot, our platform enables CFOs to access tailored data insights through natural language queries, like comparing loan performance, without requiring direct database access. With a proprietary low-code workflow manager, Datrics empowers analysts to automate processes, enhancing productivity for enterprises with limited database access and automated workflows.\n\n**Why do enterprises' finance, sales, and operations teams choose Datrics AI Analyst?**\n\nIt allows managers to make faster decisions in finance, sales, and operations by asking questions using natural language and instantly uncovering insights. It visualizes data, discovers growth areas, and pinpoints weaknesses — all in one intuitive platform. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to actionable business decisions.\n\n### **Instantly understand your data and give insights at superhuman speed.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79775&key=user_uploads/355612/688addcc-c4dc-4779-b71e-c84f6d76ea2d)\n\n* **Obtain Visualization and reports.**\n* **Get Forecasts and predictions.**\n* **Use a conversational interface.**\n* **Obtain a .csv file or send the information directly to your email.**\n\n### **It's like a Data Analyst in your team 24/7**\n\nWith Datrics AI digital analyst, you can simply create tasks, ask questions in natural language, and get answers instantly. Whether you want to understand your sales trends or comparative performance, get the specific data for the business plan, or build a weekly budget assessment report.\n\n**The Next Generation of Data Analysis**\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nFor growth-stage startups and enterprises, I'm happy to talk to your revenue and financial leaders.

If you want to upgrade to something that looks like a real show you need to build out a physical video studio and bring people into it.\n\n**The solution:** LightTwist is a virtual video studio that runs in Chrome - all the heavy compute is done in the cloud using realtime computer vision, Unreal Engine 5, and WebRTC. This means you can record and stream your show, product announcement, or webinar in a realistic virtual studio, even if your guests and co-hosts are remote.\n\n**We’re launching publicly next week, July 1 at 9 am PT but wanted to give early access to YC!**\n\n**Launch YC special offer 1 (up to 10 spots) - Buy a Show!** Purchase [here](https://buy.stripe.com/9B6aEY7YX0Iv0Bo6Xz5c40b)\n\n* We’ll record and produce your WWDC style product announcement or podcast/YouTube show episode for $500.\n* Includes customized virtual studio with your branding and 2 months of LightTwist Studio.\n* We’re experimenting with a full service product which is why we’re offering this on Launch YC!\n\n**YC special offer 2 - 90% off LightTwist for 2 months!** Sign up [here](https://studio.lighttwist.com/onboarding/9996d28e-75a0-476b-ad7b-621d43200f95) (use promo code **LAUNCHYC2026**)\n\n* You can sign up, pick from a studio template and start recording or streaming.\n* I’ll personally help you get your studio set up! I’ll email you after you sign up to set up a time\n\n**Ask:** If there’s a creator or company you think would be a great fit, please let me know or have them email me at [vikas@lighttwist.com](mailto:vikas@lighttwist.com) !\n\n**How we got here:**\n\nI started LightTwist in 2021 after seeing how Industrial Light and Magic built a huge 360 surround stage for the Mandalorian show where they had a tracked camera and rendered the scene in realtime using Unreal Engine.\n\nI’ve started a few computer vision companies (RedLaser, a barcode scanning price comparison app -[acquired by eBay](https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-DGB-15645), [Twindo.com](http://Twindo.com) - FKA Occipital), so I thought there had to be a way to make virtual production much more accessible using computer vision and software engineering.\n\nWe’ve gone through several iterations, started as an iOS app for filmmakers, built a macOS app to be an awesome virtual camera for Zoom/etc, but have gotten a lot more traction once we positioned LightTwist as a virtual video studio and rebuilt it to run in the cloud.\n\nWe’ve signed an enterprise customer using LightTwist to power their video streaming platform (not yet announced!), and we’ve been iterating with other creators and studios including building a gameshow for Jimmy Fallon’s video production company.\n\nWe’re excited to be rolling this out publicly!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=104358&key=user_uploads/553876/8b670e29-4613-40a1-bfca-92be5d46d938)\n\n**Launch video here**: [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYGvhRrOXBI**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYGvhRrOXBI)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/R9C-lighttwist-record-and-stream-in-a-realistic-virtual-studio-even-if-your-guests-and-co-hosts-are-remote", "votes": 6, "created_at": "2026-06-30T22:21:55.751Z" } ] }, { "id": 22970, "name": "Veera Health", "slug": "veera-health", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ca91e3fbd25b407f5755068d3680f8a726f79a17.png", "website": "https://www.veerahealth.com", "all_locations": "MH, India", "long_description": "Veera Health is helping 110M women in India get treated for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

An open-source serverless adapter for Next.js. It allows you to deploy Next.js apps _serverlessly_ outside of Vercel.\n\n(We created a silly video to celebrate the launch 🤪)\n\n\n\n### Problem\n\nEven though Next.js is designed to run in a serverless environment and does on Vercel; they make it really hard to self-host Next.js with serverless. It requires you to reverse engineer how Vercel does things internally. There have been many attempts to fix this. But most of these projects have either failed or have ended up as closed source paid services that are often buggy. [Learn more about the problem](https://open-next.js.org/).\n\n### How it works\n\nSo we decided to bring the community together and build an open-source serverless adapter for Next.js.\n\nOpenNext works by running `next build` and transforming the output to a format that can be deployed to AWS.

Instead, we ended up having to build two separate mobile applications powered by two different banks, connected via the lightning network. Those same APIs evolved into what Striga is today.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64541&key=user_uploads/590685/29cffa6d-39b1-4665-af3c-f2b7e0bf67d5)\n\nIf you are building a payments application or anything that requires on/off ramps or secure crypto custody/trading, I encourage you to try building on Striga - We’ve seen prototypes built in less than 24 hours! \n\n[You can sign up for a free developer account](https://portal.striga.com/), get your API keys, fork our postman collection and start building in minutes!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64541&key=user_uploads/590685/81e1b1b4-89d1-46df-a36e-81e875f87aa9)\n\n\n### **The deal**\n\nPricing for launching your app on Striga is [publicly available here](https://striga.com/pricing).

Zoko solves this by seamlessly integrating WhatsApp commerce capabilities with your existing Shopify infrastructure.\r\n\r\nTHE UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY THAT'S COSTING YOU SALES\r\nConsider this: 175 million people message businesses on WhatsApp daily - that's more engagement than Amazon generates. With 100 million merchants already using WhatsApp for business globally, those not leveraging this channel are falling behind competitors who are capturing sales directly through conversations.\r\n\r\nPROVEN SUCCESS FORMULA\r\nZoko's founders didn't just theorize about WhatsApp commerce - they lived it. Starting with their own ecommerce business entirely on WhatsApp, they scaled to 200,000 engaged followers who eagerly purchased products through weekly WhatsApp updates. When other businesses began paying for access to their \"WhatsApp sales tools,\" they knew they'd discovered something revolutionary.\r\n\r\nTHE $50 BILLION MARKET OPPORTUNITY\r\nThe WhatsApp commerce market represents over $50 billion annually - a massive revenue stream that traditional ecommerce platforms can't access. For Shopify merchants, this means untapped customers, higher engagement rates, and sales happening through the world's most trusted messaging platform.\r\n\r\nCOMPLETE SALES, MARKETING & SUPPORT INTEGRATION\r\nZoko transforms WhatsApp into a comprehensive business channel, enabling Shopify merchants to:\r\n- Convert conversations directly into sales\r\n- Run targeted marketing campaigns through WhatsApp\r\n- Provide instant customer support where customers prefer to communicate\r\n- Build deeper customer relationships through personalized messaging\r\n\r\nTHE FUTURE OF COMMERCE IS CONVERSATIONAL\r\nWhatsApp represents the internet for the next billion users entering the digital economy. Zoko positions itself as the \"Shopify for WhatsApp merchants,\" giving existing Shopify store owners the tools to dominate this emerging channel before competitors realize its potential.\r\n\r\nFor Shopify merchants serious about growth, Zoko isn't just another tool - it's the bridge to the next generation of ecommerce where conversations convert to sales.", "one_liner": "Better Business on WhatsApp", "team_size": 18, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Retail", "launched_at": 1614626990, "tags": [ "Generative AI", "SaaS", "E-commerce" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2021", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Retail" ], "regions": [ "India", "South Asia", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/zoko", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2021/zoko.json", "year_founded": 2021, "city": "Bengaluru", "country": "IN", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/zoko", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/ZokoOfficial", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/88a29ec13035e5082aa0fc15b5e1d34257c60895.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 198845, "full_name": "Arjun Paul", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Arjun, on a mission to connect businesses to the #nextbillion via chat! \n", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/arjun-v-21939784/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/676649216044b87a3ddef3f122565b49e7ff2d73.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [], "launches": [ { "id": 72940, "title": "🧠 Zoko: Unleash AI inside your WhatsApp Business number", "tagline": "A legion of untiring sales agents, powered by ChatGPT", "body": "Hi YC!

That was the Aha moment! We realized that selling these tools to other businesses, was the way to go and launched a SaaS business.

Together.", "tagline": "Everything you need to organize the product development process", "body": "_**TL;DR:** Kitemaker is a tool that allows you to keep specifications, user feedback, roadmaps, and tasks in one place, providing a better workflow than any collection of product management, documentation, and issue-tracking tools. Is it fast? Yes. Is it simple and easy to use? Absolutely. In addition, it works very well to facilitate collaboration between engineering, design, and product management._\n\nHey!\n\nWe're Kevin and Sigurd, the co-founders of [Kitemaker](https://kitemaker.co/). We built Kitemaker because we felt that the tools we used for project management, collecting feedback, and writing specifications were disconnected. This resulted in engineers, designers, and product managers working in separate silos, making it harder to focus on what truly matters: building things that users want.\n\n# **The problem**\n\nMost YC companies have taken the wisdom of [Michael Seibels' \"Product Development Cycles\"](https://www.ycombinator.com/library/4e-guide-to-product-development) to heart. To reach product-market fit, we need to talk to customers, figure out what they want, build, launch, and then iterate. There are plenty of good tools to collect user feedback, write specification documents, and track tasks/issues.\n\nHowever, it's all disjointed. It’s easy to drop the ball on user feedback, which isn’t connected to the tool where we’re writing specs, which again isn’t connected to our issue tracker. It's easy to become disorganized or spend too much time project managing when we should be spending as much time as possible talking to users and iterating on the product and the messaging.\n\n# **Our solution -** Kitemaker\n\nKitemaker allows you to keep specifications, tasks, roadmaps, and user feedback in one place. We have carefully designed it to provide a better workflow than any collection of product management, documentation, and issue-tracking tools.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76035&key=user_uploads/394001/e6a52980-d8ce-450d-9e10-a956b9fe3884)\n\n# **How it works**\n\nThe basic unit in Kitemaker is the work item. It has a document where you can write your specifications and break them into tasks, as well as an activity feed for discussions and to see what is happening across the development tools. We encourage you not to split work items into many small pieces but rather use to-dos to keep track of the tasks. This way, you will be able to focus on what you plan to deliver to your users, rather than individual tasks. Additionally, you will have all the to-dos in the same place as your discussions and specifications, meaning there will be one place to see everything relevant to a new feature or a bug fix.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76035&key=user_uploads/394001/b736cb07-b7ca-4c58-adee-c43de4ae3fde)\n\nWhen you receive user feedback, we have a section where you can organize all of it. You can either write the feedback directly in Kitemaker, or you can use our Intercom or Zapier integrations (with more integrations to come). You can select any part of the feedback, capture it as an insight, and link it directly to work items. Since the insights and feedback will be directly linked to the work items, you and your team will know exactly what was said and by whom on the work item screen.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76035&key=user_uploads/394001/227b02d1-81c1-44a7-8ba1-7696c42f9183)\n\nThere are many more features and integrations for you to explore, so if you are curious, feel free to check out our [website](https://kitemaker.co/).\n\n# What our users love about Kitemaker\n\n* It's fast, easy to use, and simple to get started with.\n* Work items let you have specs, tasks, and discussions in the same place, making it easy for engineering, design, and product management to collaborate in the same tool.\n* Having user feedback directly connected to the stuff you are working on is incredibly powerful, and the Intercom integration directly syncs conversations into Kitemaker.\n* Our to-dos have everything engineers expect for issues, like git automation, referencing, and metadata, so the hierarchy fits perfectly for teams that focus on shipping awesome stuff to users.\n\n# Asks\n\nWe love all kinds of feedback, so if you are curious about Kitemaker, head over to [https://www.kitemaker.co](https://kitemaker.co/) and give us some feedback when you have tried it.\n\nYou can also join our [community here](https://join.slack.com/t/kitemakerco/shared_invite/zt-e7zjicw1-zbBpvLSRfOFKh3DutUAJ0A), where you can discuss Kitemaker or all things product development.\n\nWe’re also super interested in chatting with people about their product development process.

Code review workflow is, more often than not, unproductive.\n\n\\\nWe’ve identified three major problems:\n\n1. Time to review: Takes too long to be reviewed and it’s painful.\n2. Context switching: Switching between code review tools and Slack to communicate is a time waster.\n3. Documentation: It’s hard to document everything that is being said. Merge requests are being talked about in DM and private calls. There is no documentation, and it’s hard to know why a decision was made.\n\n**🎯Developers lose precious focus time**\n\nWe estimate that developers waste at least 2 hours per week coordinating with one another on pull requests.\n\nFor a team of 20 that represents the work of 1 developer full-time.

When the code is merged the channel gets archived silently.\n\n\\\nStill Sceptical?

Time to review: Dangling pull requests are waste of time and a source of frustration for developers. They cause the code development process to slow down and prevent developers from focusing on a new task ahead. Engineers need to write DM + @channels to get the attention their work needs.\n2. Context switching: Between GitHub, Slack, video calls, and their product management software, engineers are piling up their mental load with so many tools and notifications.\n3. Documentation: Pull requests are being talked about in DM and private calls. There is no documentation, and it’s hard to know why a decision was made.\n\n\\\n**Solution?** Axolo centralizes pull requests in contextual Slack channels\n\n1. 1 PR = 1 Slack channel. Only invites reviewers and creators.\n2. Get personalized and friendly reminders about stale pull requests.\n3. The conversation is saved on GitHub.\n4. The Slack channel is auto-archive when the PR is merged and you can also auto-leave PR channels after approval.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64233&key=user_uploads/549618/bcd6df74-f0de-4e66-86d9-d8f1e5ac0186)\n\n\n**🗣 What customers say about Axolo:** \n\nManuel: \"The tool we needed for the daily work\"\n\nRushil: “Big fan of Axolo.

Otherwise, they will get it completely wrong and valuable time and money will be wasted.\n\nWe call it \"The Black Box Problem\".\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\nJiga platform offers a transparent way to connects engineers directly with vetted suppliers, **facilitating** efficient collaboration and communication.\n\nBy eliminating the middleman, we reduce support expenses, enhance scalability by empowering suppliers to manage support, and create strong network effects through collaborative workflows.\n\nWe use AI under the hood to automate all the manual tasks that engineers (and no one else, really) want to do: matching the right suppliers, monitoring production processes, finding and reporting discrepancies, extracting data from engineering and procurement documents, following up, mitigating delays, and more.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86643&key=user_uploads/371504/351fb1a7-cd48-4be2-b6cb-8e78c4edf995)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86643&key=user_uploads/371504/8f6b2e32-00fb-47a5-82fb-7a3c3d3c735a)\n\n# **How to Get Started?**\n\nIf you are ready to ditch the black box:\n\n* Sign up: \n* Talk to us: [founders@jiga.io](mailto:founders@jiga.io)\n* Follow our engineering content on LinkedIn: ", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MXT-jiga-the-white-box-manufacturing-platform", "votes": 21, "created_at": "2025-01-07T15:36:26.015Z" } ] }, { "id": 23443, "name": "Vendease", "slug": "vendease", "former_names": [ "Vendease", "VendEase" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1d91f77788860ae17c2195ce6e7d5db58bd8d29e.png", "website": "https://vendease.com/", "all_locations": "Lagos, LA, Nigeria; LA, Nigeria", "long_description": "Vendease is a marketplace that lets restaurants in Africa, order directly from farms and food manufacturers.\r\n\r\nNow, instead of going through expensive - middlemen - vendors, or wasting productive man hours sending staff to open markets with hiked prices, restaurants can now get on our platform, click to order and get all their food supplies within 24hrs.", "one_liner": "Where restaurants in Africa buy food supplies", "team_size": 250, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B -> Supply Chain and Logistics", "launched_at": 1614866797, "tags": [ "Supply Chain", "Food & Beverage" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2021", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B", "Supply Chain and Logistics" ], "regions": [ "Nigeria", "Africa", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/vendease", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2021/vendease.json", "year_founded": 2019, "city": "Lagos", "country": "NG", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendease", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/VendeaseAfrica?s=20", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/vendeaseAfrica", "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1d91f77788860ae17c2195ce6e7d5db58bd8d29e.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Jared Friedman", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/jared-friedman" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 415114, "full_name": "Tunde Kara", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Tunde grew up on a farm.\n\nHe has extensive experience, building brands and leveraging technology to solve problems for businesses in Africa.

Describe high-level features (auth, CRUD, async jobs, …) via a simple config language, and write the rest of your logic in React, Node.js and Prisma.\n\nWith the Beta release, we also [**announced our first hackathon**](https://betathon.wasp-lang.dev/) - make sure to join, have fun, and win cool prizes! (hint: wasp-themed mechanical keyboard 🐝 ⌨️)\n\nYou can see the 4-min demo video [here](https://youtu.be/eVXbctXquK4).\n\n### **🐝 🐝 The team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67668&key=user_uploads/109403/49bc358b-14d3-4385-b593-f1b175a0795a)\n\nThis is us at our first retreat in Croatia (Vince, our devrel, who joined shortly after, expertly photoshopped in :D)!\\\nWe’re a distributed team of engineers and web development & programming language aficionados. Having worked at some of the world’s largest companies and startups, we experienced the problem we’re solving at various stages.\n\n### 💡 **What is Wasp?**\n\n**You can think of Wasp as a full-stack web framework for React & Node.js**. We solve the common problems you face when you start developing a web app - choosing all the parts of the stack, figuring out how to stitch them together in the best way, adding auth, running cron jobs, ...\n\nWasp also makes it super easy to work with and sync data models across the entire stack (front-end, back-end, database). You don't even have to define and deal with any kind of CRUD API - Wasp will do that for you under the hood.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67668&key=user_uploads/109403/7e32a672-dec6-4f31-9fa7-1c9c35de2545)\n\n### 🦉 **Who is it for?**\n\nSpeaking to developers we realized many of them just want to build, and they’ll use whichever tool helps them best achieve their goals. They don’t care that the library being used for making HTTP requests is 2kb bigger and builds 10ms slower than some new alternative. They just want to be sure they have all the best practices in place and that their choices won't come back to haunt them once their project grows.\n\nIf you can relate to that, then Wasp is for you. We know there are plenty of great solutions for developers today (frameworks, BaaS-es, code scaffolders, ...) but Wasp is probably the fastest one to get started with, and with the least amount of code.\n\n### 🍜 **What's the secret sauce?**\n\nThe main reason for that is Wasp's unique twist on web frameworks - a config language (DSL) that works alongside your React & Node.js code. It allowed us to **drastically reduce the amount of boilerplate and simplify the developer experience**. For example, full-stack authentication with both user/pass and Google methods takes only 8 lines of code.\n\nIn the future, the language approach could enable us to do some really exciting things such as supporting multiple frameworks and languages (even at the same time) and having full control over the generated code, introducing optimizations, etc.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67668&key=user_uploads/109403/d712d053-1786-4d31-af06-cc773c00444f)\n\nWasp now has its own language server - that means auto-completion, live error reporting, …\n\n🏘 **What can I build with Wasp?**\n\nPretty much any web app with a database! Anything you'd build with React & Node.js by themselves you can build with Wasp. Think SaaS, side projects, internal tools, hackathons, ...\n\nTo see what others are building with Wasp, take a look here: [Wasp showcase gallery](https://wasp-lang.dev/#showcases)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67668&key=user_uploads/109403/8cf380fa-522b-470a-bbf9-95b3f0201034)\n\nWith the intro out of the way, let's see what's new in Beta:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67668&key=user_uploads/109403/702a317f-f8e9-446e-b8f1-46f59e95cb5d)\n\n🔑 **Full-stack auth**\\\nLog in with your username & password or via Google! Other providers are also coming soon.\n\n🟦 **TypeScript support** \\\nWrite your code in TypeScript, both on the client and server! We're also migrating our whole codebase and adding new types every day.\n\n💨 **Tailwind support**\\\nJust add two config files and you are ready to use Tailwind in your project!\n\n⏳ **Running Async Jobs**\\\nSend emails, crunch data every night and build reports or anything that shouldn't be a part of a typical request-response cycle. Powered by pg-boss, zero setup required.\n\n🥛 **Optimistic updates support** Wasp will by default propagate your data model changes across the stack. Still, [in some cases](https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2021/12/02/waspello#what-doesnt-work-yet), you might want more control over that flow for the sake of smoother UX - that is now easy to achieve with Wasp!\n\n📟 **Wasp Language Server**\\\nWasp now has its own LSP for VS Code (other editors coming soon)! That means improved syntax highlighting, code snippets, autocompletion, and error reporting.

The product evolved quickly as customers pushed us toward deeper insights and enterprise scale. Key moments included securing our first Fortune 500 customers, launching integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, and building out enterprise features like SSO, RBAC, and advanced reporting.\r\n\r\nA major inflection point came when we recognized that engineering intelligence needed an AI native interface. This led to the launch of Waydev AI, our conversational layer that lets leaders ask questions and get insights instantly without dashboards. Today, we support both large enterprises and fast growing teams, and we continue to integrate AI deeply into how engineering work is analyzed and measured." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving?

Leaders rely on anecdotal feedback, siloed dashboards, or lagging indicators that fail to capture the full picture of productivity, quality, and delivery. This lack of visibility leads to poor decisions, misalignment, reactive planning, and inefficient budgets.\r\n\r\nWe solve this by giving teams a unified intelligence layer that turns system data into clear, actionable insights. The problem is huge because every company depends on software, and engineering performance directly affects speed, cost, and competitiveness. I decided to work on this because I experienced the pain myself as a founder and saw thousands of teams navigating the same challenge." }, { "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 build the intelligence engine behind every engineering organization. If we succeed, companies will understand their engineering health as clearly as they understand revenue or churn. Leaders will make better decisions, teams will work in a more predictable and balanced way, and engineering will become a transparent, measurable, and optimized function. In the future we imagine, every company will be able to ask one question, “What is happening in engineering and what should we do next?” and Waydev will deliver the answer instantly." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/waydev", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2021/waydev.json", "year_founded": 2017, "city": null, "country": "RO", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/waydev", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/waydevco", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/waydevco", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/waydev", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/90694f4bdb7eb8f17b02f85faee3e3455edb365b.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/6778d7987675acff0a6a787b50a403697fbc9895.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 22643, "full_name": "Alex Circei", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "I'm Alex Circei, co-founder and CEO of Waydev (YC W21).

As I transitioned from studying physics at Imperial College London to delving into tech, finance and startups, I encountered a personal struggle with skin issues (cystic acne) that persisted for over a decade. I had tried everything; from diets, to medications, to products to try and improve my skin, but had great trouble in identifying if what I was trying was actually working. Having turned to online social media skincare communities for support, I knew I wasn’t alone. So, this struggle, coupled with a genuine desire to help others navigate their skincare journeys with confidence, ignited the idea behind Clear; an app that helped people to track their skincare routine, skin progress, access a community of like-minded individuals on a similar journey, and get data-driven, unbiased product recommendations.The vision was not only to provide users with personalized skincare recommendations but also to fuel innovation in the industry, enabling brands to create more effective product formulations. My personal connection to the mission, being my own customer, fueled my decision to become a founder. Clear is more than a company; it's a commitment to revolutionizing skincare and empowering individuals on their path to healthier skin." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator?

We're not just an app; we're a movement reshaping the future of skincare." }, { "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 core problem Clear addresses stems from a lack of clarity and communication within the skincare landscape. Consumers find themselves grappling with uncertainty about which skincare products to use and whether these products are effective. Simultaneously, skincare brands face a challenge in understanding their consumers, hindering industry-wide innovation. Dermatologists, too, encounter difficulties in efficiently communicating with their patients.\\\\This problem is substantial because it permeates the entire skincare ecosystem. For consumers, the ambiguity around product efficacy can lead to frustration and wasted resources. Skincare brands, without a clear understanding of consumer behavior, struggle to innovate and tailor their products to meet genuine needs. Dermatologists, the experts in skincare, face inefficiencies in conveying information and prescribing effective routines.\\\\The decision to tackle this pervasive issue arose from a personal connection and a broader recognition of its widespread impact. I personally endured the challenges of skincare struggles, which fostered a deep empathy for others facing similar dilemmas. Recognizing the industry-wide ramifications of this problem, the decision to create Clear was driven by a passion for revolutionizing skincare journeys, providing clarity for consumers, empowering brands with actionable insights, and facilitating seamless communication between dermatologists and their patients.Clear's mobile app acts as a transformative solution by offering routine tracking and a dynamic social community. This platform enables users to objectively measure their skincare progress, connect with a supportive community, and receive data-driven product recommendations. For skincare brands, Clear becomes a conduit for real-time insights into consumer behavior and sentiment, leveraging product usage metrics and user-generated content. Moreover, Clear facilitates secure sharing of routine and progress data between users and medical professionals, allowing dermatologists to prescribe effective skincare routines seamlessly.In essence, Clear emerges as the bridge that resolves the communication gaps in the skincare industry, providing users with confidence in their skincare choices, brands with valuable insights, and dermatologists with efficient tools to enhance patient care in this $200B industry." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Clear's overarching vision extends beyond being a solution for current skincare challenges. Our aim is to become synonymous with skincare, a pervasive force in a $200 billion market. The long-term vision for Clear envisions a comprehensive ecosystem that transcends conventional boundaries. From being a single source of truth for skincare recommendations and self-tracking to delving into teledermatology, operating an expansive e-commerce marketplace, introducing a rewards program, curating engaging skincare content, entering the skincare market, and fostering industry-wide innovation through data-driven insights – Clear aspires to redefine and elevate every facet of the skincare experience.As Clear achieves its long-term vision, the world of skincare will undergo a transformative shift. The pervasive uncertainty and inefficiencies plaguing the skincare industry will dissipate, replaced by a seamlessly integrated ecosystem that empowers consumers, brands, and dermatologists alike. Individuals navigating their skincare journeys will find clarity and confidence, supported by personalized recommendations and a supportive community. Skincare brands will experience heightened innovation and responsiveness, guided by real-time insights into consumer behavior. Dermatologists will leverage efficient tools for communication and care, enhancing the patient experience. Ultimately, the success of Clear will usher in a new era where skincare is not just a routine but a personalized, data-driven, and collaborative journey, positively impacting millions and redefining the standards of skincare excellence." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/clear", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2021/clear.json", "year_founded": 2021, "city": "London", "country": "GB", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/clear-app", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/getclearapp", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/getclearapp", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/clear-6311", "github_url": "https://github.com/Haut-Technologies", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/04169b13bb38d8ba7da4e38bb6ab9eafa9c93938.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/video_event/54/1630619012886-x9jl4wcqzs-2477078dfbba57e3f28e3f18b7c7f142/89bd2b8e4a75e11459f76522bbb5eaf7.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAQC4NIECABPQ2AHNW%2F20261020%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261020T022655Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=b696f2c98d80023e7eefc3de7cc5403717b9b578d496fbb2980e3e1841f4f851", "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/4934d44099c14c78252f049ded8cbb6f50c716dd.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 543078, "full_name": "Ahana Banerjee", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Skincare enthusiast and Imperial College London Physics grad", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahana-banerjee/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/ahanabanana", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/98df9114da002d6527c0153d444b6d77e665bd2b.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [ { "title": "Meet Ahana Banerjee and Ben Richards: The Imperial Physics Students Who launched A Skincare Tracking App – Positive World", "url": "https://positiveworldonline.com/2021/06/30/meet-ahana-banerjee-and-ben-richards-the-imperial-physics-students-who-launched-a-skincare-tracking-app/", "date": "Jun 30, 2021" }, { "title": "Imperial Physics students launch skincare tracking app | Imperial News | Imperial College London", "url": "https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/223913/imperial-physics-students-launch-skincare-tracking/", "date": "Jun 29, 2021" } ], "launches": [ { "id": 91922, "title": "Clear: Track and Share your Skincare", "tagline": "Meet Clear - the skincare app that helps you track, learn, and finally see what works.", "body": "🚀 **We just launched Clear Premium: the smarter way to track your skincare, discover what actually works, and feel confident in your skin.**\n\n👋 Hi everyone, I’m Ahana, founder of [Clear](https://getclearapp.com/), a skincare app helping tens of thousands of people take control of their skin through tracking, education, and community. We’re YC W21, and today, we’re launching something big: **Clear Premium**.\n\n### **💡 The Problem**\n\nSkincare is broken. People spend hundreds on products, but don’t know what’s working, what’s causing breakouts, or how to personalise their routine. Skin is complex, and most advice is vague, biased, or not designed for people of colour.\n\nAs someone who struggled with acne for years, I found myself wishing there was a way to _track_ my skin, get _honest_ recommendations, and see _real_ results over time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91922&key=user_uploads/543078/1890c5c9-36d4-4580-af64-7fdee16b3144)\n\n### **🧪 What We’ve Built**\n\n**Clear** is the app I wish I had when I was struggling.\n\nWith Clear, you can:\n\n* Log your routine + products\n* Take progress photos\n* Get ingredient breakdowns\n* Learn from a diverse, supportive skincare community\n\nAnd now, with **Clear Premium**, we’re giving people even more power:\n\n🔓 **Premium Features:**\n\n* Track unlimited progress photos\n* Smart routine analytics: see what’s really helping (or hurting) your skin\n* Compare products and ingredients side-by-side\n* Scan products for instant info\n* Export your routine and skin journal\n* More customisation, better insights, and no guesswork\n\n🎥 [Watch our premium launch video](https://youtu.be/8CzArSSg4ws?si=_VaCOIKZqzvai6jk)\n\n### **🛠️ Why We Built It**\n\nFor the past 3 years, we’ve grown Clear with very little marketing - just word-of-mouth from a passionate, underserved community. We’ve been used by 50K+ people across 100+ countries, featured on the App Store, and recently partnered with top dermatologists to help people get clinical guidance too.\n\nThis launch is a huge milestone for us. It’s our next chapter - one that gives our community more tools, more control, and a way to stop wasting time and money on trial and error.\n\n### **🎁 14-Day Free Trial**\n\nClear Premium is available now, and **every new member gets a 14-day free trial**. No strings attached. Just download the app and start exploring.\n\n📲 [Try Clear Premium now](https://getclearapp.com/premium)\n\n💌 Want to chat, collab or share feedback?
