(i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)", "answer": "Josh, Eddie, and I actually met completely by chance. I moved to the US for the Electrical Engineering PhD program at Stanford and just a couple of months in, I got paired up together with Josh through Stanford’s alumni mentorship program. Josh and Eddie went to Stanford EE together a few years earlier, but got reconnected after randomly when Eddie made a wild decision to run a half-marathon – with zero training – just to win a bet (!). Josh, Eddie and I bonded over our experiences growing up around small businesses, and starting past startups on our own. My dad has owned a small clothing store in Haifa for over 30 years now and I grew up helping in the store after school every day, and experiencing the small business ups and downs around the family dinner table every evening. Eddie had a similar experience with his family’s medical practice in Southern California. Finally, Josh, Eddie and I had started our own startups previously (none as successful as Gusto), and realized that our passion is solving real problems for real people and having a long-term positive impact through technology.We loved the idea of helping small businesses – the underdogs – thrive and succeed, and hated the fact that only “big enterprise” companies use technology internally for their advantage. It wasn’t fair and we wanted to fix it. What sparked the original idea behind Gusto was Eddie growing up and seeing his mom manage payroll for their medical practice. She had been doing every payroll by hand for over two decades. It was time-consuming, tough, and error-prone, with the practice paying as much as $200,000 in tax penalties over the years, up until we launched Gusto. One of the most rewarding parts of our journey was seeing her finally running payroll without having to physically be in the office – freeing her up to go on vacation while still being able to run payroll if she needed to. We realized that if we do a great job with payroll, we’ll have the most accurate system of record for our customers’ employees, which then will enable us to solve many more important problems like onboarding, time tracking, benefits, compliance, HR, and more. We’ve since kept on this vision and have built Gusto’s People Platform which helps over 300,000 businesses across the country start and grow their teams while building a great place to work – from the moment they’re hired, until their last day. We still feel like we’re in the super early stages of the company as our vision is much broader – to create a world where work creates a better life." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "We first decided to apply to YC based on Eddie’s recommendation. He had had a great experience with YC as part of a previous startup he founded, Picwing. We knew that the YC association could help us hire strong engineers, have a supportive community of founders we get inspired by, and gain early momentum. Being part of a YC batch was a high intensity experience. We lived together and worked 24/7 to build a Minimal Loveable Product and earn the trust of some early customers, all before Demo Day. Demo Day is a fantastic opportunity to meet hundreds of serious investors interested in funding companies. It’s up to you to give them a reason to fund you – but if you take advantage of that moment, it can really be a gamechanger for your startup.Overall, YC was a big part of Gusto’s early growth. It has a strong community of technical leaders and operators, so it helped us hire engineers faster and grow more quickly during Gusto’s early days. But not only is YC a great way to attract top talent – it also connects you to a community of similar-minded founders and helps you build long-term, lasting friendships. " } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/gusto", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2012/gusto.json", "year_founded": 2011, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/gustohq/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/GustoHQ", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/GustoHQ/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/gusto", "github_url": "https://github.com/Gusto", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6ce7845c2e268525f5f04915212ac0a106fb7e3d.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/17702f753046e23197ac3c92291b35126b8cf5e3.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 30116, "full_name": "Josh Reeves", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "We're on a multi-decade mission at Gusto to create a world where work empowers a better life.

Joining forces four months ago allowed our teams to connect what users say to what users do in the product for the ultimate product insights. \\\n\\\nGive it a try on [amplitude.com](http://amplitude.com)!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OpQ-amplitude-ai-feedback-listen-to-users-at-scale", "votes": 86, "created_at": "2025-11-12T14:17:39.156Z" } ] }, { "id": 60, "name": "Sendwave", "slug": "sendwave", "former_names": [ "Wave", "Brew", "Chime" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1bbfeae646cc8051b5ad469413e67295e9fae353.png", "website": "https://www.sendwave.com", "all_locations": "Boston, MA, USA; Remote", "long_description": "Sendwave's mission is to make sending money as easy and affordable as sending a text.

After a series of iphone apps and businesses, we learned that we worked really well together and both had the passion and resilience to eventually build a successful business.Prior to GOAT, we had launched a few projects one of them being a social dining app called Grubwithus. The idea behind the app was to break social norms and bring people together through food at a restaurant. The app gained a good amount of attention at first, but there were a lot of friction points with coordinating people, dates, food and restaurants, and we eventually realized it was a hard business to scale and decided to shut it down.In 2014 Daishin, a huge sneakerhead since he was a kid, unwittingly bought a fake pair of Jordans off of another platform. The process was difficult - Daishin had to look through many photos of the same shoes, then look to see how trustworthy a seller was, how much the price would be with shipping and when he would receive them by. There was no standardization. When the shoes arrived, he realized they were fake and we both understood that the fake sneaker industry was a big threat. We knew there was a need for a platform to regulate the system and there wasn’t a solid tool out there to do so. We created GOAT to bring trust and safety to the sneaker market. " } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/goat-group", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2011/goat-group.json", "year_founded": 2015, "city": "Los Angeles", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/goat-group", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/goatapp", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/goatapp", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/goatapp", "github_url": "https://github.com/goatapp", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/4f3a455935f36a6655742aae286b206df1cd13bd.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 5655, "full_name": "Eddy Lu", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddylu/", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "/avatars/thumb/missing.png" }, { "user_id": 18689, "full_name": "Daishin Sugano", "title": "Founder/CPO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sensugano", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "/avatars/thumb/missing.png" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 91156, "title": "Senior Software Engineer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/goat-group/jobs/KcKpk0p-senior-software-engineer", "location": "US / Remote (US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Backend", "salary_range": "$125K - $184K", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [ "Go", "Java", "Python", "Ruby on Rails" ] }, { "id": 92495, "title": "Senior Machine Learning Engineer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/goat-group/jobs/HsUFRzI-senior-machine-learning-engineer", "location": "FL, US / GA, US / MI, US / MN, US / NC, US / NV, US / PA, US / RI, US / SC, US / VA, US / AZ, US / AR, US / KS, US / LA, US / MS, US / MT, US / NE, US / OH, US / TN, US / UT, US / WI, US / Remote (FL, US; GA, US; MI, US; MN, US; NC, US; NV, US; PA, US; RI, US; SC, US; VA, US; AZ, US; AR, US; KS, US; LA, US; MS, US; MT, US; NE, US; OH, US; TN, US; UT, US; WI, US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Machine learning", "salary_range": "$108K - $197K", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [ "Git", "Python", "SQL" ] } ], "news": [ { "title": "Goat Group Valuation Soars to $3.7 Billion | Los Angeles Business Journal", "url": "https://labusinessjournal.com/news/2021/jun/28/goat-group-valuation-soars-4-billion/", "date": "Jun 27, 2021" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 170, "name": "DrChrono", "slug": "drchrono", "former_names": [ "drchrono" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/777dd100388a6a777571baee7bd41695a7129e6a.png", "website": "https://www.drchrono.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA; CA, USA; Remote", "long_description": "DrChrono develops the essential platform and services for modern medical practices to make care more informed, more interactive, and more personalized.

Our journey began with building remote patient monitoring systems for medical clinics. However, as the public health system was slow in adopting new technologies, we saw an opportunity in the consumer market.

We were really impressed by Michael's stories about the Y Combinator community and decided to apply to the program. The process was fairly vigorous and competitive, but our persistence paid off and we were accepted into the Y Combinator '14 batch. The experience itself was incredibly intense, as we were one of a few foreign, let alone hardware companies in our batch which made us work even harder to adapt to the different business mentality in Silicon Valley. Nonetheless, we successfully completed the program and moved on to fundraising on demo day. We were able to raise a significant portion of our seed round on the spot and immediately after demo day. Despite these challenges, we remained committed to our goals and were able to overcome the obstacles in our path, which made the experience a memorable and incredible one." }, { "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?", "answer": "We stay connected with the Y Combinator community and maintain close relationships with our batchmates, other founders, and select teams from Europe.

What were the big inflection points?", "answer": "Bellabeat started as a company focused on addressing the lack of attention given to women's wellness in the market with the mission to understand and improve women's health & wellness from a holistic standpoint. Over the years, we have evolved to become a leading solution for women's health and wellness. In 2014, we were a part of the top cohort at Y Combinator and raised a substantial seed round. This was followed by the launch of our flagship product— Leaf Nature, the first wellness tracker designed for women, the following year. In 2019, we introduced a membership program offering personalized health and wellness guidance, further solidifying our position in the market. We continued innovating and in 2021, we launched Ivy, a new wearable device that provides personalized health guidance based on a woman's menstrual cycle and biometric data. Throughout our journey, we made a significant impact, launching various Leaf editions, Time smartwatch, as well as Spring- a smart bottle. We’re proud that our products are not only helping women reach their full potential, but also accompanying them during the most important parts of their lives. " }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "Realizing the lack of attention given to women's wellness in the market, we founded Bellabeat with the mission to understand and improve women's health by utilizing the cycle as a focal point of women’s health and wellness. We noticed that women, in pursuit of knowledge about their health & well-being, only relied on information gathered through reading online, joining forums, or visiting their physicians. While these sources are great to educate women, they’re missing a key point that women need in order to understand their bodies on a daily—biofeedback.When creating Ivy and combing it with our personalized programs and cycle input, we wanted to give women the tools they need to understand their bodies every day, receive actionable advice, and see the change for themselves. By delivering timely and appropriate guidance adjusted to the different stages of the menstrual cycle, every individual user’s unique bio-responses, and lifestyle tracked through sensor technology, we’re introducing women to a way of life that is in sync with their natural hormonal rhythm. A way that leads to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier future where women start working with their bodies instead of against them to achieve their wellness goals. " }, { "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 revolutionize the understanding of women's cycle and wellness to empower them to live their full potential. By providing personalized guidance through our subscription option, we aim to bring a new perspective to women's health and wellness that goes beyond traditional approaches. Our goal is to become the leading femtech company in the world and help women lead healthier, better, and more equitable lives." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/bellabeat", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2014/bellabeat.json", "year_founded": 2014, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/bellabeatinc", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/GetBellaBeat", "fb_url": "https://web.facebook.com/bellabeat/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/bellabeat", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ed160215b7a30dc30384bfcf6e726bac65688aff.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 38307, "full_name": "Urska Srsen", "title": "Founder/CCO", "founder_bio": "Urska Srsen is the co­founder and CCO of Bellabeat Inc.

As the on-demand economy was exploding, the background check process was stuck in time—tedious and slow. It was slowing down the hiring process on both sides, especially among companies with a fast moving, flexible workforce like the gig economy.At heart, they are engineers. They see a problem, and they want to fix it. They knew they could streamline the background check process to put people to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy. This led to the creation of Checkr, an API-first technology platform that combines the best in human expertise and AI to simplify disjointed, labor-intensive hiring processes. Our mission really solidified over their first interactions with job applicants. They heard firsthand the hardships of finding a job—and putting food on the table. They saw applicants get rejected because of something in the past, which in no way impacted their ability to do the jobs they were applying for today. They saw an opportunity to be a positive force in the job market – to focus on eliminating bias and championing a fairer future." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator?

We're building a highly automated lab in Foster City running on our custom software and are currently testing relapsed/refractory cancer patients as well as samples from a variety of pharma/biotech partnerships.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.notablelabs.com/careers", "one_liner": "Personalized drug discovery for blood cancer.", "team_size": 40, "industry": "Healthcare", "subindustry": "Healthcare -> Diagnostics", "launched_at": 1407578442, "tags": [ "Biotech", "Drug discovery", "Oncology" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": true, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2015", "status": "Public", "industries": [ "Healthcare", "Diagnostics" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": true, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/notable-labs", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2015/notable-labs.json", "year_founded": 2014, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/notablelabs", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/notable-labs-2", "github_url": "https://github.com/NotableLabs", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/c2bf47d120c3bdde2a9ad11d9f05f1c08a72ca0e.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/video_event/10/1427240098052-kikiobbw3fcx47vi-0fb11434a5aa7dfed43fbe66e4b7cb1c/657f6ab39a6ef44174d31a96ba482867.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAQC4NIECABPQ2AHNW%2F20261020%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261020T022629Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=1ec308578ecc7d87fd1dac00354b1e5c47a8c16627905c134810ce30ed926a49", "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 69577, "full_name": "Matthew De Silva", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": false, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewdesilva/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/MDe_Silva", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/9f6eebea28438330b0e1b0a312affcdf60fa89eb.jpg" }, { "user_id": 69576, "full_name": "Pete Quinzio", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": false, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-quinzio-26083a35", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/e95bef4a9fd59491bdf3fab81ee4a4fc89118bcf.jpg" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 16239, "title": "Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/notable-labs/jobs/Ey5oHo8pO-senior-software-engineer-full-stack", "location": "Foster city, CA", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "3+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [ "Amazon Web Services (AWS)", "Django", "Git", "GraphQL", "JavaScript", "Python", "React", "Docker" ] }, { "id": 37703, "title": "Product Development Scientist / Senior Assay Development Scientist", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/notable-labs/jobs/ti2HBnyyd-product-development-scientist-senior-assay-development-scientist", "location": "Foster City, CA", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Science", "role_type": "Laboratory", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] }, { "id": 37704, "title": "Principal Product Development Scientist", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/notable-labs/jobs/kF9VM8qjw-principal-product-development-scientist", "location": "Foster City, CA", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Science", "role_type": "Laboratory", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "11+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] } ], "news": [ { "title": "Personalized cancer treatment startup Notable Labs nabs $40M Series B - MedCity News", "url": "https://medcitynews.com/2019/07/personalized-cancer-treatment-startup-notable-labs-nabs-40-million-series-b/", "date": "Jul 16, 2019" }, { "title": "Notable raises $40 million to personalize cancer drug regimens | VentureBeat", "url": "https://venturebeat.com/business/notable-raises-50-million-to-personalize-cancer-drug-regimens/", "date": "Jul 16, 2019" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 767, "name": "GrubMarket", "slug": "grubmarket", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/a10cd6dd027a6f9927f0c0574be6404d3ed0c014.png", "website": "http://grubmarket.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "GrubMarket is the AI-powered technology enabler and digital transformer of American Food Supply Chain industry.

And That was democratizing online payments for Indian businesses, particularly the underserved market, Startups and SMEs. Over the last 9 years, Razorpay has evolved from a single-product company to a multi-product company, from an online payment gateway to India’s only full-stack financial solutions company, offering payments and banking solutions to businesses. Razorpay today is transforming age-old complexities and changing every known paradigm of money movement for disruptive businesses.\r\n\r\nOver the last couple of years, Razorpay’s growth has evolved to be an index of India’s digital economy. From a kirana shop in Kashmir collecting payments on our POS device to a textile exporter in Kanyakumari accepting dollars through our International Payments product, Razorpay has revolutionised how businesses have traditionally transacted and interacted with money. \r\n\r\nRazorpay became the first and only Indian fintech to build a full-stack international Payment Gateway ‘Curlec by Razorpay’ and evolved into a comprehensive provider of payment solutions, leveraging the synergy between cutting-edge technological capabilities and a profound understanding of the local payment ecosystem. The introduction of the new Curlec Payment Gateway aims to cater to a wide spectrum of businesses, expanding its reach to over 5,000 establishments. \r\n\r\nBe it for international expansion or solving for Indian businesses, for Razorpay, the customer has always been at the core of all disruption, from addressing evolving needs to delivering new solutions. This hyperfocus helped bring Razorpay’s several industry-first innovations into the market since 2014. Razorpay became the first to launch a completely digital on-boarding process for startups, first to launch support for UPI, first to launch support for Bharath QR, first to introduce recurring payments for businesses through Razorpay Route, automating payment receipts and later automate payouts and making the entire process seamless and optimized and many more were introduced aling the way. Other firsts include: - First to launch India’s Multi-Network Tokenisation solution, TokenHQ - Razorpay became India’s first payment gateway to support credit cards on UPI - Razorpay also became India’s largest omnichannel payment gateway for businesses post acquiring Ezetap which is India’s leading offline POS company that was founded with the aim to simplify the in-person offline payments experience.\r\n\r\nOver the years, Razorpay’s valuation has jumped from $1 billion to $7.5 billion and has added a host of marquee investors to its captable. Razorpay is also the second Indian company to be a part of Silicon Valley’s largest tech accelerator, Y Combinator. Marquee investors such as Lone Pine Capital, Alkeon Capital, TCV, GIC, Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital India, Ribbit Capital, Matrix Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Y Combinator, and MasterCard have invested a total of $741.5 Mn through Series A, B, C, D, E and F funding. The last financing round of Series F led the company’s valuation to $7.5 Billion signaling one of the fastest increases in valuation for an Indian Unicorn. \r\n\r\nRazorpay has also made acquisitions with like-minded companies over the last 9 years. In total, till date, Razorpay has made eight acquisitions, Billme in 2023 - A Digital invoice and customer Engagement, Ezetap in 2022 - India’s leading offline POS company, PoshVine in 2022 - India’s leading loyalty and reward management platform, IZealiant in 2022 - A mobile-first, API-enabled, and cloud-ready payment solution and made its first international foray in South-East Asia by announcing its acquisition of Curlec in 2022 - A recurring payments platform. TeraFin Labs in 2021 - the AI-based SaaS platform that facilitates digital financing solutions, Opfin (Now RazorpayX Payroll) in 2019 - The payroll management solution and Thirdwatch in 2019, the first acquisition - The AI-powered fraud detection platform.\r\n\r\nAll these efforts are being done in collaboration with banks, regulators, and stakeholders so that India can build a better place for small and big businesses. Today, Razorpay powers online payments for 76 Of 100 startup unicorns and millions of businesses in India. The core premise of what Razorpay was founded in 2014 and what it is today hasn’t changed. It is to make money movement simpler and easier, whether it is for businesses to receive money, send money, or manage money. \r\n\r\n", "one_liner": "India's only full-stack financial solutions company for businesses.", "team_size": 2700, "industry": "Fintech", "subindustry": "Fintech -> Payments", "launched_at": 1416309883, "tags": [ "Banking as a Service", "Fintech", "Payments", "India" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": true, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2015", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Fintech", "Payments" ], "regions": [ "India", "South Asia", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": [ { "question": "How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)", "answer": "(Attributed to Harshil Mathur, CEO & CoFounder of Razorpay)I met Shashank during our time at IIT Roorkee, and our collaboration began there. We worked on numerous projects together, fueled by our shared passion for coding. In fact, many of the codes we wrote during our college days are still the backbone of Razorpay's operations today. Our bond extended beyond academics; we were instrumental in founding SDS Labs, the software development section of our alma mater. After graduation, our paths diverged geographically, with Shashank moving to the USA to join Microsoft, while I ventured to the Middle East to work with Schlumberger. Despite the distance, our friendship remained strong, and we continued to collaborate on various side projects.One pivotal moment came in 2014 when we embarked on a crowdsourcing platform project to collect online donations for a cause. However, we encountered significant hurdles with existing payment gateway systems. This experience opened our eyes to the challenges faced by Indian businesses, particularly Startups and small businesses, in accepting payments online.Determined to address this gap, we decided to establish Razorpay, driven by a mission to democratize payments for startups and SMEs. Armed with research and fueled by our passion for solving real-world problems, we set out to create a platform that offers simple, affordable, and secure payment solutions.For us, perseverance has been a way of life. We are relentless in our pursuit of identifying and solving the financial challenges faced by small businesses. Whether it's rain or shine, we push through obstacles until we find viable solutions. This resilience has been the cornerstone of Razorpay's growth, propelling us from 10,000 partner businesses in 2017 to over 5 million today." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "(Attributed to Harshil Mathur, CEO & CoFounder of Razorpay)Long before we applied to YC, Shashank and I had been fans. Hacker News was our go-to source for information on building startups, and a few months after we started working on Razorpay, we saw an announcement on Hacker News about the YC application period opening up.At that point, Razorpay hadn't launched and we weren't remotely confident about getting in. The YC application process is pretty thorough; there are tough questions that force you to be crystal clear about who you are as a company. Things like how will you differentiate yourself from the competition; how will you acquire market share; how big is your market, and how big will you be in a few years from now? All of those are important questions to discuss internally, and so at a minimum, we thought applying would help us zero in on succinct, precise answers to give both of us clarity, even if we didn't get in.But thankfully our efforts paid off, and we did make the cut. When Shashank Kumar and I found out in late 2014 we'd been accepted into Y Combinator, we figured we'd need to split our time between running Razorpay in Bangalore and joining our fellow founders in Silicon Valley. It was only a few months after we had launched Razorpay and we were afraid of abandoning our customers, even for a bit, just as we were getting off the ground. Ignoring that temptation and spending the full three months of YC in Mountain View was one of the best decisions we ever made.It was a good call to stay in US and not fly back and forth to India, because if we had, we'd have missed out on the full benefit of YC — spending valuable time with the other founders in our batch, meeting successful alumni and building relationships throughout the YC community, and getting mentored by YC partners and other investors.Now, 9 years later, we couldn't be more proud to be [YC's first Indian unicorn](https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/11/razorpay-100-million-billion-valuation-unicorn/). I can honestly say that although we had to work harder during those three months than at any other time in my life, with countless 20-hour days attending YC sessions and dinners and then working late nights supporting our customers in India, I wouldn't change a thing. That's why the best advice I can give to any Indian founder considering YC is to go all in on it the same way we did. The priceless, irreplaceable learning happens when you least expect it — during a late-night drink with another founder in your batch, maybe, or in a spur-of-the-moment meeting with a YC partner. You can't say you'll do 60% or 80% of the YC program, because you can't know where 60% or 80% of YC's advantage is. So figure out how to get 100% of the benefit of it; it'll be hard, and exhausting, definitely, but you will never regret it." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "In 2014, after discovering the dismal state of online payments in India Harshil and Shashank founded Razorpay, **India’s first payment gateway built for Startups** a platform for a simple, affordable, and secure way for businesses to accept payments online. Progressing in the journey that started with payment acceptance, the company also witnessed a progressive acceptance and adoption of digital innovations. But what was surprising was while the big payment players in the market were catering to large businesses, smaller businesses needed immediate attention. In India, **MSMEs are the second largest employment-generating sector after agriculture and contribute around 31% to the nation’s GDP**. One of the major challenges for SMEs & Startups was the lack of technology infrastructure, especially for B2B payment technologies. There was a need for a comprehensive converged payment and banking solution that can help manage the entire money movement (from acceptance to disbursals) within an organisation. This particular thought gave birth to the launch of **Razorpay’s neo-banking platform, RazorpayX, and lending platform Razorpay Capital.** The company now offers a single platform for businesses to manage the entire money flow within an organization. Eight years to now, **Razorpay evolved from being a payment gateway to India’s first full-stack financial solutions company providing intelligent new-age payment and business banking solutions** to help Indian businesses address the entire length and breadth of their payment & banking journey. The company believes that for the next phase of growth in the fintech industry, payment players need to **evolve beyond offering solutions for payment acceptance to managing the entire money flow (from acceptance to disbursements and everything in between). Hence, it is of supreme importance to recognize a market (SMEs & Startups)**, identify challenges, and provide a holistic solution, at scale." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "**Razorpay is committed to building the central nervous system of digital India.** The company aims to change how payments and banking are done for small businesses in India and wants to create a benchmark for the entire world to follow. Razorpay today is India’s leading and first full-stack financial solutions company that offers both payments and banking solutions for businesses on a single platform.  The founding team always wanted to build a platform like this because of the single goal **- to help businesses spend less time managing compliance and operations and more time creating new products, pursuing new ideas, and thinking about how to scale. The company’s vision continues to produce new idea and innovation that benefits millions of businesses even today.** Overall, the company wants to help make India economically more inclusive and is making strides toward that goal. Razorpay believes It’s an exciting time of change and is creating history. Digitization is the lifeblood of any business. It impacts EVERYTHING a business does - from cash flow & hiring to credit, investment & expansion. Businesses can no longer think of digitization as an afterthought! The digital payments landscape has multiplied over the last decade. India has globally positioned itself as a benchmark in digital payments owing to its resilient payment infrastructure, market practices, and proliferation of digital payments across various segments. The adoption of digital payments in the MSME space has unlocked several efficiencies that have driven end-to-end transformation in how small businesses conduct their operations. **India today is amongst the fastest growing Fintech markets in the world**, being the 3rd largest FinTech ecosystem, India has the highest Fintech adoption rate globally (87%). **Razorpay also believes & foresees Indian fintech as the default service provider for the world that can make a difference by bringing customized digital solutions for customers beyond the geographies clubbed with best-in-class fintech technologies.**" } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/razorpay", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2015/razorpay.json", "year_founded": 2014, "city": "Bengaluru", "country": "IN", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/razorpay/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/razorpay", "fb_url": "https://facebook.com/razorpay", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/razorpay", "github_url": "https://github.com/razorpay", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/b6a6aaf9a84fa4b7ddb53cabda7443c142a5a154.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/d0542247c32aa7d285a58ea7c30e930677376536.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/74cc0eb93855c18a52ffa4468facbd5d5a49f51c.png" ], "primary_partner": { "name": "Brad Flora", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/brad-flora" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 2139, "full_name": "Harshil Mathur", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/pub/harshil-mathur/69/23a/127", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/harshilmathur", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/b49464f5e793b8f6bd7b9bf571489df67252ac91.jpg" }, { "user_id": 7125, "full_name": "Shashank Kumar", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "http://www.linkedin.com/in/kumarshashank", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/shashank_kr", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/4bb41b492aebd9a1fb569c8e80c597ef82941171.jpg" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 77, "title": "Senior / Principal Engineers", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/razorpay/jobs/GQiEGb6ug-senior-principal-engineers", "location": "bangalore", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "Will sponsor", "skills": [] }, { "id": 6516, "title": "Senior Infrastructure Engineer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/razorpay/jobs/zUemCTA1N-senior-infrastructure-engineer", "location": "Bengaluru", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Devops", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] }, { "id": 16046, "title": "Senior/Principal Engineer/Manager, Frontend Engineering", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/razorpay/jobs/Xpdifpfmk-senior-principal-engineer-manager-frontend-engineering", "location": "Bangalore, Karnataka", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Frontend", "salary_range": "", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [ "JavaScript", "React", "React Native" ] } ], "news": [ { "title": "et startup of the year razorpay: ET Startup Awards 2022: Razorpay wins Startup of the Year award -

Fast forward to college, and I was generating $80K in revenue from running an iPad accessory business on Shopify, a software platform for e-commerce. I started to ask myself why my dorm-room side hustle had access to 10x better technology than my dad’s tire shop, a much more complex operation that did $3.5M in gross revenue. This realization—that no one was building software for brick-and-mortar local businesses—ultimately led Dennis and me to start Podium. Along the way, many investors told us to focus on Enterprise, given the price sensitivity and volatility of the SMB customer segment. While we were tempted to pivot when we got to Y-Combinator, our unwavering belief in small businesses and dedication to helping them grow became the core of Podium’s success. We believe the greatest opportunities for impact are often found in underserved, unglamorous markets that most people overlook." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "When starting Podium, we read every single essay from Paul Graham and used them as the blueprint for building Podium in the early days. It was a dream of ours to get into YC one day. Even though we started the business in 2014, we didn’t apply until the winter 2016 batch because we initially thought that our SMB reviews product wasn’t a big enough idea for YC. We were amazed and excited when we were accepted into the W16 batch. During the batch, we grew from $1M to $3.5M ARR. At one point, we considered pivoting the product in a more trendy direction, but Dalton and Aaron (our group partners) told us that we were insane since we had a product people wanted and were buying like crazy. Staying the course turned out to be excellent advice. Due to our explosive revenue growth, we had a lot of investor interest on demo day. However, we had enough capital so we decided to wait until the end of the year to raise. We ended up raising our Series A in early 2017 at a $100M valuation from investors we had met on demo day. Being a company based outside of the Bay Area, Y Combinator was invaluable to us since it gave us the support and exposure to top-tier investors we needed to continue building Podium into a world-changing company." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/podium", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2016/podium.json", "year_founded": 2014, "city": "Lehi", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/podium/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/podiumhq", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/Podium/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/podium-2", "github_url": "https://github.com/podium", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d90bc164db5dd25a81e6dcfa222470eadf2c783a.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/6eb506f3cd61709c0e25b843bfbc10c1f69d8930.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/02599f8c7686dfb1b6590cd633f552f389d9628a.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 95937, "full_name": "Eric Rea", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrea", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/d37204c689bef3c5ca596ba5ff11c2d5b2de25be.jpg" }, { "user_id": 107530, "full_name": "Dennis Steele", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Co-founder of Podium\n\n1,100 employees\n$400M+ Raised (Accel, IVP, YC Continuity, GV)\n100,000 Businesses on Podium", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/steeledennis", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/7a141aaca8aa96bf2d3bd679f3a6a42e8ae7fb79.jpg" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 88044, "title": "Senior AI Engineer - Utah", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/podium/jobs/pp9fqBd-senior-ai-engineer-utah", "location": "Lehi, UT, US", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "$180K - $230K", "equity_range": "", "experience": "6+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] }, { "id": 88045, "title": "Staff AI Engineer - Utah", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/podium/jobs/l8BTq6f-staff-ai-engineer-utah", "location": "Lehi, UT, US", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "$225K - $260K", "equity_range": "", "experience": "11+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] }, { "id": 88046, "title": "Staff AI Engineer - USA", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/podium/jobs/qgKxAEM-staff-ai-engineer-usa", "location": "Lehi, UT, US / Remote (US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Full stack", "salary_range": "$190K - $215K", "equity_range": "", "experience": "11+ years", "visa": "US citizen/visa only", "skills": [] } ], "news": [ { "title": "Podium’s Valuation Doubles to $3 Billion in Latest Fundraising Round", "url": "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-15/podium-s-valuation-doubles-to-3-billion-in-latest-fundraising", "date": "Nov 15, 2021" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 1058, "name": "Caper", "slug": "caper", "former_names": [ "QueueHop" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/45034c22d81491a4e49c2c46c3c822d2d820941d.png", "website": "https://www.caper.ai/", "all_locations": "", "long_description": "Caper focuses on compacting Amazon-Go's technology (image recognition, sensor fusion and artificial intelligence) into a smart shopping cart, allowing each shopper to throw her groceries into the cart and self-checkout without cashiers.

(i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)", "answer": "Meesho – short for Meri Shop (My Shop) – was founded by Vidit Aatery and Sanjeev Barnwal in 2015. Vidit and Sanjeev were wing mates at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi hostel, with their rooms located diagonally opposite each other. Upon completion of their engineering, Vidit worked with Indian consumer goods major ITC for a couple of years, followed by a year-long stint at ad-tech startup InMobi. Sanjeev joined Sony in Japan, contributing to the camera technology for DSLRs and mobiles. **\\**\\The duo got back in touch in May 2015 and decided to start up. For them, two things were clear.  One, it was a great time to be a tech entrepreneur in India – doing anything else would mean not living up to their potential. Two, solving a large-scale problem that affects more than 100 million people and something they can relate to. \\\\Soon, Vidit and Sanjeev realized that most small businesses in India were still offline. They only sold within their communities and localities, which limited their earning potential. \\\\On the consumer side, traditional e-commerce companies focused on the metros and relatively affluent consumers, leaving smaller cities and those with lower incomes out of the internet commerce revolution. Vidit and Sanjeev wanted to take the benefits of e-commerce to this cohort of consumers, democratizing internet commerce for everyone. \\\\To that end, Vidit and Sanjeev gauged the immense potential of social networks as a sales channel early on. They created a platform that enabled millions of people, including homemakers, to become entrepreneurs and resell products in their network via WhatsAp. Meesho pioneered social commerce in India and it now has \\~16 million entrepreneurs on the platform, of which over 10 million are women. \\\\What started as an idea to digitize India’s unorganized retail is now a $4.9B e-commerce company, a single thriving ecosystem of sellers, entrepreneurs and consumers. Meesho’s evolution from pure play social commerce to e-commerce is a testament to how the company is transforming the industry and making e-commerce accessible to the masses. With a vision to enable 100 million small businesses to succeed online, Meesho is continuously facilitating MSMEs’ transition from the offline to the online world." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "Put simply, Vidit and Sanjeev decided to apply to Y Combinator because they were fans of Paul Graham's iconic essays 🙂They were hungry to learn how to start up from great mentors and other entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley – the global hub of tech innovations and startups. Y Combinator’s application process made Vidit and Sanjeev think hard about what they were building, what unique insight they had that no one else did, etc. Some of these fundamental questions helped refine their thinking a great deal. While going through the batch, they learned a lot about growth and user behavior from other startups. At the same time, Y Combinator partners connected them to other entrepreneurs like Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear, who shared valuable advice with Vidit and Sanjeev on how to get insights from users to build products." }, { "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?", "answer": "The Y Combinator community is very active, both in India as well as globally. Vidit and Sanjeev are now close friends with some of the other Y Combinator founders. They often brainstorm together on the challenges they are working on, always learning something new in the process. " }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?", "answer": "When Sanjeev and Vidit got together in July 2015, they were looking at building a hyperlocal platform for fashion. During the early days, the founders did everything from taking shop inventories to cataloging them on the app to making the deliveries themselves – listening intently to feedback from users and suppliers all this while. A couple of iterations later, Meesho became a social commerce platform where resellers used WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram to become a bridge between suppliers and consumers. Millions of resellers, most of them women, were able to supplement their household income by starting virtual stores on social channels without any investment and selling to their community. In the process, they achieved financial independence – besides a sense of accomplishment and identity. While Meesho pioneered the concept of social commerce in India, e-commerce adoption tailwinds from COVID-19 saw many consumers become more comfortable with directly shopping online. This was a huge opportunity for Meesho to tap and the company has been operating a marketplace connecting sellers and consumers (in addition to WhatsApp-led reselling) for over 1.5 years now. Direct sales on the platform now account for 80% of Meesho’s business. **Funding:** In July 2016, Meesho was selected by Y Combinator for a three-month summer program. In October 2017, the company raised $3.1 million in a [Series A round](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_A_round) from investors led by Elevation Capital (formerly SAIF Partners), following it up with a Series B round of $11.5 million in June 2018. Five months later, Meesho closed its Series C round of $50 million at a valuation of $200-250 million. Soon, Meta (formerly Facebook) came aboard as an investor in August 2019 and the company raised 125 million, becoming India’s first startup to be backed by the social network. In April 2021, Meesho turned a [unicor](https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/meesho-raises-300-million-led-by-softbank-enters-unicorn-club-6729831.html)n with SoftBank leading a $300 million funding round that valued the company at $2.1 billion. Later in the year, Meesho raised [$570 million](https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/meesho-raises-570-million-from-fidelity-b-capital-others-at-4-9-billion-valuation-7524951.html) in its Series F round, doubling its valuation to $4.9 billion. The company has so far raised $1.06 billion from marquee investors including Prosus Ventures, Elevation Capital, Sequoia Capital, Good Capital and Symphony International. **Growth and scale:** 2021 and 2022 were breakout years for Meesho with the business growing exponentially and witnessing strong momentum on several fronts. Meesho became the world’s most downloaded e-commerce app globally in October 2021, as per [data.ai](http://data.ai). It repeated the feat in the first half of 2022, logging record downloads, according to Apptopia. During the calendar year 2022, the Meesho app recorded the highest Monthly Active Users worldwide, as per [data.ai](http://data.ai). In 2022, the company saw 910 million orders, with nearly 80% of them coming from small towns,  showcasing how the company’s value proposition of affordability continues to be a significant differentiator. Affordable, relatable merchandise mirroring local markets has helped Meesho make inroads into homes of first-time internet users across the country. The company’s 85 million+ active product listings and strong value prop of everyday low prices has resulted in 140 million annual transacting users. On the seller side, the company’s relentless focus on digitizing small businesses is bearing fruit. Driven by industry-first initiatives such as zero commission and by ensuring there’s no private label play or tiering of sellers, Meesho’s supplier base has grown to over 825,000. Three in five of them are new-to-e-commerce and selling on Meesho for the first time. One of the reasons Meesho is able to deliver on its promise of everyday low prices is because of its asset-light structure, wherein it works with third-party logistics players for order fulfillment. Meesho is the single-largest contributor to India’s fast-growing third-party logistics industry, accounting for \\~35% of all shipments delivered by national players. **Inflection points:** The landmark entry of telecom operator Reliance Jio revolutionized India’s internet landscape. The availability of fast data, almost free of cost, catalyzed internet penetration, taking it to the deepest and remotest corners of the country. As other telecom companies followed suit, almost all of India became the Target Addressable Market in one fell swoop – opening the doors of opportunity for e-commerce companies. Additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic paved the way for a huge transformation in India’s retail landscape. Widespread adoption of e-commerce by millions of consumers across the country marked a record shift from offline to online. At the same time, millions of sellers discovered the potential of e-commerce platforms and embarked on their online journey." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "Meesho — India’s only true online marketplace — is altering the status quo with an asset-light business model to make e-commerce inclusive and accessible for the next billion users in India.Over the last 15 years, e-commerce in India evolved with a focus on convenience-seeking customers in metros and Tier 1 cities with enough purchasing power. Much less attention was paid to residents of smaller towns and those from lower income groups with different needs around selection and affordability. Meesho is constantly working towards enabling access for this cohort of customers, reimagining the internet commerce journey for them. Over the last seven years, the company has built a simple and easy-to-use e-commerce platform that’s helped millions of new-to-ecommerce users come online. The company currently has close to \\~140 million annual transacting customers. Additionally, Meesho’s vision is to enable the smallest of sellers in India to digitize their business and reap the benefits of online commerce: a much bigger market, higher incomes, a digital footprint, et al. Driven by this vision, Meesho has routinely identified and solved the challenges that potentially deter sellers from embracing e-commerce. The company launched disruptive, industry-first initiatives like zero seller commission that leave more money in the hands of suppliers and allow them to expand their business. As India’s only true e-commerce marketplace, Meesho does not differentiate between sellers on the basis of tiers, nor does it have private labels or an inventory-led play. Meesho was built on the core principle of democratization of internet commerce for the smallest of sellers across the country." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Creating a level playing field for small businesses to succeed online while catering to underserved, price-sensitive users — Meesho is on a mission to democratize internet commerce for everyone. India’s unorganized retail is estimated to account for 85% of the overall retail sector, indicating a huge opportunity for small businesses and consumers to come online. All that is required is the right platform and opportunity, a little bit of resources and some hand holding. Additionally, of the \\~700M active internet users in India, only 216M transact online. There is a large chunk of people in tier 2+ cities who do not transact online. Meesho’s vision is to bring underserved users into the e-commerce fold by leveraging technology, its wide reach and strong understanding of how India shops. If Meesho truly succeeds, small businesses will be empowered to sell their wares across the country, earn more and generate employment at scale, taking India closer to its goal of a $5 trillion economy. On the other hand, consumers will be able to access affordable, relatable merchandise from all corners of the country, fulfilling their aspirations." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/meesho", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2016/meesho.json", "year_founded": 2015, "city": "Bengaluru", "country": "IN", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/meesho/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/Meesho_Official", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/meesho", "github_url": "https://github.com/Meesho", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/2e219c412cfa3b69bc5211d8d7473cf06bfe6593.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/71a82fea8b8a9fc1f53984cb29d68a53af14c03a.png", "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/d6f941876516034fc1302142de83d04e0531b7af.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 135711, "full_name": "Vidit Aatrey", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidit-aatrey-a3639120", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/efe5776e3791cd5a2cf5cd0bbf78a0c0819ead6a.jpg" }, { "user_id": 138527, "full_name": "Sanjeev Barnwal", "title": "Founder/CTO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjeev-barnwal-4099341b", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/c180416726fe8a9ec1095eab2cfad50f1f276458.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [ { "title": "Meesho’s Mega Blockbuster sale opens with nearly 75% order growth on day 1", "url": "https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/meesho-mega-blockbuster-sale-opens-with-nearly-75-pc-order-growth-on-day-1-20009071.htm", "date": "Oct 10, 2026" }, { "title": "India E-Commerce Firm Meesho Starts Taking Orders for $603 Million India IPO - Bloomberg", "url": "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-03/meesho-kicks-off-investor-orders-for-603-million-india-ipo", "date": "Dec 04, 2025" }, { "title": "Meesho, an Indian social commerce platform with 150M users, raises $275M", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/10/meesho-an-indian-social-commerce-with-150m-transacting-users-secures-275m-in-new-funding/", "date": "May 13, 2024" }, { "title": "Meesho taps micro-entrepreneurs to plug gaps in India’s supply chain network | TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/07/meesho-taps-micro-entrepreneurs-to-plug-gaps-in-indias-supply-chain-network/", "date": "Feb 07, 2024" }, { "title": "Meesho's big step to combat burnout, announces this move for its employees - Hindustan Times", "url": "https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/meeshos-big-step-to-combat-burnout-announces-this-move-for-its-employees-101663833056221.html", "date": "Sep 22, 2022" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 1270, "name": "The Athletic", "slug": "the-athletic", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/7f6b19c9a7bb7ba979f8935bcd2e5bd32b954069.png", "website": "https://theathletic.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "The Athletic is a direct-to-consumer digital sports media company committed to helping subscribers experience storytelling in a whole new way.

In 2012, Henrique and Pedro were both high school seniors living in Brazil (Henrique was in Sao Paulo and Pedro was in Rio de Janeiro). They were both interested in coding and software development, and met on Twitter when they got into a heated exchange about the nuances of coding tools. Twitter’s character limit didn’t allow them to go into too much depth about our respective arguments, so Henrique and Pedro decided to hop on Skype to discuss there instead. They instantly became friends. About a year later in 2013, Henrique and Pedro worked together to launch their first company, [Pagar.me](http://Pagar.me). [Pagar.me](http://Pagar.me) was a startup that allowed Brazilian merchants to accept online payments, similar to what Stripe is now focused on. Three years later, Henrique and Pedro sold [Pagar.me](http://Pagar.me) to Stone, a Brazil-based payments fintech company. This moment led them to the next part of our entrepreneurial journey, where they both decided to come to the U.S. after applying and being accepted into Stanford. Their time at Stanford didn’t last long though —Henrique and Pedro dropped out eight months later after they received funding from Y Combinator to start a VR company. They quickly learned, however, that they didn’t actually know much about the VR world and had a real passion for tech investing.As entrepreneurs themselves, Henrique and Pedro realized how difficult it was for founders to receive enough funding to launch their businesses. They initially wanted to build bank accounts for U.S.-based startups, but pivoted to creating a corporate credit card. Today, Brex has tens of thousands of customers including notable companies like DoorDash, Coinbase, Scale AI, Indeed and more.

I had been an entrepreneur since I was in school, and I knew my skills lay in business-building, but when thinking about what I would do next, I kept landing on a conviction to do something that tangibly changed communities. At the same time, my metro Atlanta neighborhood was targeted by a rash of property crimes – home and vehicle break ins.  Our neighbors reported the crime to local law enforcement, only to learn that there were very limited avenues to investigate. In fact, due to a lack of investigative evidence, over 80% of property crime is never solved.There was a clear gap in the market, left unfilled by ineffectual alarm systems and expensive, outdated traditional security cameras. As an electrical engineer, I was able to envision an affordable, elegant solution to solving crime that would bring together communities, businesses and law enforcement in the mission of improving safety. \\My belief was simple: With the right team, technology, and policies, we could actually not only solve, but _eliminate_ crime. I recruited two former colleagues who I trusted and who shared my vision for building better communities, and we jumped into building Flock." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator?

This wouldn’t be a company that focused on nice-to-haves, or that helped other businesses cut costs or generate leads. We provide a life-or-death product, a mission-critical system for cities, that dramatically changes a community for the better. I viewed leading this company as a privilege, but also a real burden and responsibility. In the early days, when considering a partner that would help us build this kind of generational company, we saw Y Combinator as the organization that could dramatically increase the odds of our vision coming true. It hit home during YC when we heard that we had helped police in our hometown of Atlanta solve the first crime with Flock Safety devices. We knew from that moment that this idea was not just an abstraction — Flock was going to work. Throughout YC, the founding team is guided to build their company at _as face a pace as is possible_, as speed is an undeniable competitive advantage. When Demo Day was over, after we had booked meetings with investors and were well on our way to our first fundraising round, YC set the tone for scaling Flock doggedly, purposefully, and with consistent velocity, for years to come. " } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/flock-safety", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2017/flock-safety.json", "year_founded": 2017, "city": "Atlanta", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/flock-safety", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/flock_safety", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/flocksafety/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/flock-safety", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ee69b5c905088288ff0fc007921dde14514a40a1.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Garry Tan", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/garry-tan" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 172332, "full_name": "Garrett Langley", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/glangley/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/983f01c56e0729538530748ff3bcd479b2664eb8.jpg" }, { "user_id": 182671, "full_name": "Matt Feury", "title": "Founder/CTO", "founder_bio": "I spit rhymes in n log(n) time.", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-feury-a105a339/", "x_url": "", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/05d3497ff044fec95a23302569f629c39e87a671.jpg" } ], "jobs": [ { "id": 69097, "title": "Senior Video Software Engineer", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/flock-safety/jobs/oHQmXUR-senior-video-software-engineer", "location": "Atlanta, GA, US / Remote (Atlanta, GA, US)", "type": "Full-time", "role": "Engineering", "role_type": "Backend", "salary_range": "$170K -

There, Maxi was able to learn and understand the Logistics industry.

The in-person interview was longer than standard, almost 20/25 minutes, to convince the partners to accept them into the batch.During the batch, we had the following objectives:1. **Validate our product**. During this step, we had to demonstrate that there was someone with a pain we could address with our product and that this person was willing to pay for our solution. Our added value is technology, which allows us to create automatic reports, quick quotes, and digitized documents and provide personalized attention and flexibility to adapt to almost any situation our clients face.2. **Learn from the best**. At this point, we had the opportunity to hear feedback from others who had already scaled their product successfully internationally. One memorable moment was meeting with the co-founders of Dropbox and Airbnb. We also were able to share ideas with many entrepreneurs from different countries.3. **Carry out non-scalable activities**. As the founder of a company, you have to solve issues in all areas. In the case of Nowports, that included selling during the day while coding at night to iterate on our product.**Raise the first round of capital**. During demo day, we had the opportunity to raise a seed series of funding of US$8.6M, which was one big round for two Latino first-time founders at that moment." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/nowports", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2019/nowports.json", "year_founded": 2018, "city": null, "country": null, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/nowports/", "x_url": "http://twitter.com/nowports", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/Nowports/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/nowports", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3adc2d7230f0a2c3c705c361a16f9f9b93e81b7d.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/a1ed532ca6fcee41e682c4307afc2404a54deea5.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 273025, "full_name": "Alfonso de los Rios Villareal", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": null, "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/alfonso-de-los-rios-24a3a713a/", "x_url": null, "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/7e0d1f9f07cee25917198450f7a164e7cea19492.jpg" }, { "user_id": 232044, "full_name": "Maximiliano Casal", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Co-founder & former COO Nowports\nBachelor Computer Engineering", "is_active": true, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxcasal/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/MaxCasal13", "avatar_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/avatars/ade378e3faa84a016a72dbfbd32c4557baada853.jpg" } ], "jobs": [], "news": [ { "title": "Why Nearshoring Is Closer Than Ever: How Mexico Is Becoming The Next Big Thing In Global Markets", "url": "https://www.forbes.com/sites/garydrenik/2023/03/23/why-nearshoring-is-closer-than-ever-how-mexico-is-becoming-the-next-big-thing-in-global-markets/?sh=765e0fe3354b", "date": "Mar 23, 2023" }, { "title": "Nowports streamlines LatAm’s shipping to deliver a $1.1B valuation – TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/nowports-lands-150m-at-a-1-1b-valuation-to-streamline-latams-shipping/", "date": "May 24, 2022" }, { "title": "Tiger, SoftBank Lead Round for Latin American Logistics Startup", "url": "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-16/tiger-softbank-lead-round-for-latin-american-logistics-startup", "date": "Dec 16, 2021" }, { "title": "Nowports raises $16M to build the OS for LatAm’s shipping industry – TechCrunch", "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/01/nowports-raises-16m-to-build-the-os-for-latams-shipping-industry/", "date": "Jul 01, 2021" } ], "launches": [] }, { "id": 12565, "name": "Odeko", "slug": "odeko", "former_names": [ "Cloosiv", "Odeko (Formerly Cloosiv)" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3b1e7b7eb171eccce88cf7089d2997df49764f1c.png", "website": "http://www.odeko.com", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA; New York, NY, USA", "long_description": "We’re a passionate team of dreamers and builders, determined to liberate small businesses from the not-so-fun aspects of the job so that they can focus on what’s fun and important.", "one_liner": "Our operations software makes it easier to run--and grow--your cafe", "team_size": 371, "industry": "B2B", "subindustry": "B2B", "launched_at": 1556154664, "tags": [ "B2B", "Logistics" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": true, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2019", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "B2B" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": [ { "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?", "answer": "It’s often said, but it bears repeating - although the batch itself was an incredibly valuable experience, we’ve benefited far more from the value that’s created across the YC community itself.

Instead, because of our experience successfully scaling multiple SMB-oriented startups, our initial focus was on assembling the right team and identifying the best sub-vertical to support. With those steps completed, we set out to establish relationships with coffee brands who could help us identify their industry’s operational pain points. After quickly building relationships with some of the biggest independent brands in the industry like Birch Coffee and Joe Coffee Company, we honed in on solving their frustration with procurement and set out with an excellent team, a large available market, and several engaged customers to build the first piece of the Odeko platform. As a company, we’ve endured several booms and busts before finding product-market fit and scaling rapidly - from our early days as an AI-powered procurement engine that showed signs of life before the pandemic, to our soul searching days in early 2020 that led to our merger with Cloosiv, and ultimately the post-pandemic economic recovery that saw us rapidly on a first-of-its kind platform that sparked rapid growth for our company. Today, Odeko is stronger than ever, with 90% of our pre-COVID customers reopening their doors and using Odeko’s new, more robust platform to run their businesses. We faced the pandemic head on with little room to maneuver, and emerged from it not only armed with a second critical piece of our platform, but having grown to support nearly ten-times the number of small businesses than we had before the lockdown." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "Where large chain brands value structure and speed, the modern local café has historically placed a premium on the human experience. Although a noble pursuit, the value of slowing us down to enjoy a beautiful latte and an easy conversation has concurrently slowed the pace of operators, with small businesses more often employing analog solutions for the big problems they face. As the world around them continues to evolve, local cafés have slipped further into the crevasse. Behemoths have expanded their footprints across the globe, each new store front strategically placed to snuff out the local cafés' existence from Main Street. This is largely a result of evolving national competition that rapidly develops and tests new technology at scale, while independent brands are victims of the available mass market, where technology has yet to evolve past various iterations of the point-of-sale system out front." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Odeko addresses the problem, by building an intuitive and affordable technology stack that’s designed to help small businesses increase their revenue, lower their costs, and reduce their carbon footprint. We got started in 2019 by first identifying coffee shops, bakeries, and cafés as the best entry point into the quickserve market, because of the vertical’s limited technology footprint, relatively standardized workflow, and low SKU count. We then narrowed our attention to focus on the two areas of concern that we most commonly heard to be pain points for our early café customers - _supply_ and _demand_. With these two points of entry, we’ve solidified the foundation to build our technology stack on top of, allowing us to continuously ship new components and immediately test the value of that work with our customers.
