But when he looked at the beauty industry, what he saw didn’t add up—real people were more than broad categories like “curls” or “dry,” so cookie-cutter solutions could never deliver transformational results. No wonder consumers never saw the results they were after. But making effective, customized products at scale was thought to be impossible.   Zahir teamed up with fellow MIT grad Josh Maciejewski and cosmetic chemist Hien Nguyen, combining their expertise in supply chain, sustainability, and data science to create something revolutionary in the beauty industry. They imagined enabling every consumer to create their own product based on a totally customized set of variables, made to order with bespoke craftsmanship and care. They imagined an algorithm-based approach that would let them constantly iterate and improve every formula. The most important variable at the center of their equation was the consumer, who—for the first time—could be honored with formulas as one-of-a-kind as they were." }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day?

There is no one size fits all product, and we believe customization is the ultimate response to consuming more sustainably by having the perfect product made just for you. Customization is a challenging task that most beauty brands have not been able to figure out.

(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.

The leading gum is sold like a pharmaceutical drug, with flavoring and packaging to match. Vapes provide a cumbersome, over-the-top experience — with use as tightly restricted as cigarette smoking itself, but more juvenile, conspicuous, and highly addictive. People want, and deserve, a better way.\r\n\r\nTherefore, we want to deliver nicotine users a superior experience, and at the same time give them a way to transition out of feeling dependent. In a better society, people wouldn’t carry around the sensation that they’re stuck with an involuntary habit. Our mission isn’t to encourage nicotine use among people who haven’t started. Unlike certain vapes or other products, ours isn’t the sort coveted by underage users on social media. Our mission is to alleviate the harm related to tobacco — first and foremost, by switching people away from the most harmful products.\r\n\r\nSo, at Lucy, we take an evidence based view of nicotine. Nicotine’s pleasurable properties make it an inevitable part of modern society. Therefore, minimizing harm in all nicotine products is key, in addition to giving people products and strategies for cessation. We feel that, as 1,300 people are dying of tobacco related illnesses every day in the US, the most important and immediate step toward a better society is giving nicotine consumers products they enjoy using that will cause less harm.\r\n\r\nOur first product is designed to appeal to smokers and encourage them to switch. And, looking ahead, we hope to secure approval in the future as a clinically proven smoking cessation aid, while continuing to participate in the FDA’s public hearings around how NRTs are best regulated. Our goals are simple: because harm reduction is a better strategy around nicotine delivery than abstinence or prohibition, we want to help improve public health — and reduce its costs — through a superior pure nicotine product.", "one_liner": "Lucy’s mission is to reduce tobacco-related harm to zero.

The GDP per capita is over two times higher in the capital city than in the rural areas; however, the prices of goods are two to three times more expensive than in Jakarta (BPS, 2022). The experience of witnessing this injustice in the rural areas compelled me to build Super. Our vision at Super is to democratize the pricing of goods in over 500 tier 2 and tier 3 cities and rural Indonesia. This ensures that rural consumers have access to affordable prices similar to those enjoyed by consumers in Jakarta. As a social commerce platform, Super has made a significant impact in rural Indonesia. We empower agents, including “warung” (micro SMEs) and individual resellers in rural areas, enabling them to become the Walmart of their community by providing affordable prices for their neighbors. Our commitment extends to contributing to technological disruption and fostering economic growth in tier 2 and tier 3 cities and across rural Indonesia. To achieve this, we are dedicated to building our business and core team in the rural areas of Indonesia.  First, unlike the norm for start-ups in Indonesia, we established our headquarters (HQ) in East Java in 2018. The first generation of consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce juggernauts have operated in Indonesia for over a decade, and investors have poured billions of dollars into their balance sheets. However, they could only capture 7–10% of the offline retail market. In parallel, Indonesia has over 500 second and third-tier cities and rural areas with a much bigger untapped market potential. So, we took a different approach by growing our presence with social commerce online to offline models in \\~50 cities across East Java and South Sulawesi. What sets us apart is that we empower community leaders to act as agents, leveraging their social capital and providing technology to sell basic necessities to their friends, allowing them to benefit from the more affordable prices. In the next few years, we will penetrate 450 more tier 2 and tier 3 cities and rural areas in Indonesia. Secondly, the first generation of e-commerce players relies on team members from our capital city, Jakarta. At Super, 95% of our full-time employees are based in rural areas, encompassing key team members across operations, supply chain, business development, and technology. We believe that the hands and minds of rural people can create a unique product experience for rural users, and thus, we trust them to become the backbone of our operations. In addition, we actively promote gender equality in alignment with SDGs. Over the past few years, female team members have grown substantially, resulting in a nearly equal gender composition." }, { "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": "In college, I knew my dream was to become an entrepreneur, so I have heard about YC since college. At first, I frequently listened to the YC podcast on how to start a company and manage the growing pain in blitzscaling ventures, and I was impressed with how YC can help founders find PMF and scale. Back then, I decided that if I started a company right after I graduated, I would apply for YC.My experience was unbelievable. Back then, it was still rare for YC to invest in Indonesian companies. I had the opportunity to meet Gustaf during YC's visit to Indonesia, where he conducted a roadshow seminar introducing YC to the local startup community. Following the workshop, I approached him and shared my business idea. To my surprise, he said I should give it a try. I didn’t expect much then because it was like shooting for the stars. Surprisingly, the YC process was very straightforward. After the written application, I traveled to Mountain View for the interview, and it was the most intense 10-minute interview I’ve ever had. Post-interview, Gustaf continued with additional questions, and we finally made it into YC.As expected, going through the batch has been one of my life’s highlights. YC taught us how to measure PMF through data and provided the unique opportunity for one-on-one office hours with esteemed CEOs like Steve Huffman from Reddit, Paul Bucheit, Brian Chesky from AirBnB, and more. It was beyond my expectation that YC helped us build a robust PMF and shaped founders from day one to be resilient and give the best fight in building a startup.After three months of the program, we finally had to fundraise during demo day. Michael Seibel and Gustaf have been very helpful in guiding us in preparing for the presentation, managing the data room, and navigating the offers on the table. Amidst the frenzy of offers, we successfully achieved our fundraising goal.YC was one of the best decisions I have made, and it has played a vital role in the company’s success. If I had to restart my startup companies, I would willingly do it all over again." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/super", "api":

And brands don’t know _why_ visitors bounce or _who_ they really are.**Why it matters:**\\Whether it’s eCommerce, B2B, or in-store, **the attention funnel is broken**. Customers are trained by TikTok and games to expect interactivity and dopamine—yet most brand experiences still feel like static brochures. This leads to poor conversion rates, bloated CAC, weak data, and missed revenue. In a post-cookie world, brands need ways to engage and personalize without relying on surveillance or guesswork.**Why we’re working on it:**\\At Unity, we personalized gameplay for 2B+ users. We saw how **interactivity + real-time data** could drive deep engagement and monetization in milliseconds. But when we looked outside of gaming—at Shopify sites, SaaS landing pages, QR flows in restaurants—it was clear: brands had _no tools_ to make those touchpoints dynamic, fun, or behavior-aware.We built PlayAbly to fix that.

As our experiences spread across eCommerce, B2B, retail, and hospitality, we’re building the foundation for a **first-party engagement network**—a permission-based, gamified layer where brands can acquire, qualify, and retain customers through interactive journeys, not invasive ads.Instead of renting attention from Meta or Google, brands will use PlayAbly to **own the moment of interaction**, gather usable zero-party data, and re-market through personalized games and offers that people actually want to play. And instead of interruptive ads, our long-term vision is to launch a **PlayAbly Ad Network**, where top-performing game experiences can be distributed across partner sites, apps, and displays—with performance economics and behavioral data baked in from the start.Imagine:* A DTC brand acquiring new customers not through banner ads, but through a mini-game embedded in a partner brand’s checkout page.* A restaurant upselling via a playful quiz shown on smart menus or receipts.* A SaaS company qualifying leads with an interactive diagnostic game built into someone else's onboarding flow.**We’re building the infrastructure for the gamified internet—where every touchpoint is playable, personal, and performant.**That’s the world we want to live in.

The confluence of shopping and entertainment.  \n\n🧠 At Unity, we personalized gameplay for 2B+ users across thousands of titles. Now we’re bringing that same behavioral insight to B2B brands and ecommerce — where most sites still feel too generic, not an engaging experience\n\n🎯 We saw it firsthand: brands burning cash on top-of-funnel, only to leak it through lifeless landing pages, collection pages, and generic lead forms. So we built PlayAbly — a conversion layer that feels like fun but performs like performance marketing.\n\n🌍 Used by both B2B and DTC:\n\n* **Classkick (B2B tool for teachers)**: to qualify and convert education leads via smart quiz games.\n* **Skout (DTC Kid’s Snacks)**: to increase AOV and conversion rates with fun product discovery\n\n🧨 TL;DR: Replace \"Spin to Win\" with a game your online customer _actually_ wants to play.\n\n---\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nBrands spend on Meta, TikTok, SEO — but don’t _retain_ attention once shoppers land. Today’s customers ignore pop-ups, abandon forms, and bounce from even the best-looking sites. Why?\n\nBecause passive web experiences can’t compete with the dopamine drip of social and mobile gaming. And standard segmentation flows — quizzes, email captures — are too slow, too boring, or too static to convert attention into action.\n\nRetargeting is expensive, email/SMS open rates are tanking, and most stores don’t know who their customers really are.\n\n🕳️ Most marketing funnels are:\n\n* Bland → no interaction, no retention\n* Blind → poor data on why visitors bounce\n* Bloated → costly retargeting with low ROAS\n\n### **✅ Our Solution**\n\n**PlayAbly** creates opportunities for engagement —online, in-store, and everywhere in between.\n\nWe help brands turn passive moments into active engagement—whether that’s on a website, at a retail display, with a QR code at a restaurant, or in a B2B lead funnel. From quizzes to mini-games, our interactive layers boost attention, capture data, and drive action—bridging consumption and entertainment to make every brand moment more memorable and more effective.\n\n**Playable funnels**: Games that _feel native to your brand_ and drive:\n\n* 📈 Higher engagement\n* 💬 Useable first-party data\n* 💸 Measurable revenue lift - conversions up to 3x, 2x more email/SMS opt-ins than the leading popup, recover 89% of lost engagement\n\n🎯 How it works:\n\n* Choose from our library of high-performing game templates (e.g. match-3, swipe, scratch, stack)\n* Customize it to your brand’s look, products, and tone\n* Integrate via Shopify, Klaviyo, Hubspot, or embed directly\n* Launch in minutes — no dev required\n* OR - if you’re looking for a more custom game, let us know what you’re looking for\n\n🧠 Behind the scenes: AI + behavioral data personalize the game, questions, and post-game flow based on real-time signals.\n\n---\n\n### **🚀 Why It Works**\n\nOur games don’t just entertain — they segment, educate, and convert:\n\n* **DTC: Skout Results: 7X ROI, 4X Email Opt-ins, 20% Higher AOV** \n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91780&key=user_uploads/330167/3f68a566-f189-489f-b637-08595f1985f3)\n\n* **B2B: Classkick Results: 5X ROI, 3X Email Open Rates** \n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91780&key=user_uploads/330167/570759ec-4110-4bd6-bc39-ad002047c964)\n\n\nRetention’s better too: PlayAbly games collect data that actually gets used — building better lists, sequences, and personalization downstream.\n\n---\n\n### **💡 Why We Built It**\n\nAt Unity, we pioneered user-level personalization through gameplay — optimizing ads and UX with real-time behavioral signals. We saw firsthand how play builds trust, surfaces intent, and creates emotional stickiness.\n\nWe asked: what if B2B sales and ecommerce wasn’t just functional, but _fun_?\n\nSo we built PlayAbly:\n\n* To help brands personalize authentically — not creepily\n* To make every site visit feel like a VIP concierge interaction\n* To let brands build relationships, not just retargeting funnels\n\nWe believe AI should act like the best in-store rep: observant, empathetic, memorable — not a template engine.\n\n---\n\n### **🕹️ Want to Try?**\n\nWe’re working with DTC and B2B brands who want:\n\n* Better conversion/retention without more ad spend\n* Higher-quality customer data, captured playfully\n* Personalization built around _actual_ shopper behavior\n\n🕹️ Try a PlayAbly game: \n\n* [Skout Cookie Rush](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1747846715251/game/index.html)\n* [Replacements Matching Game](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1745836341267/game/index.html)\n* [Playfield Dog Days of Winter Advent Calendar](https://advent-calendar.ourplayfield.com/)\n* [PlayAbly Spinner Hunt](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1746022904086/game/index.html)\n* [Harmony 783](https://playably-game-uploads.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/1747054636675/game/index.html)\n\n\\\n[Book a Demo ](https://calendly.com/john-baotris/playably-demo-kf?)\n\n**Offer: Mention YC and get 20% off your first game** \n\nWhether you're selling skincare, classrooms, or courseware — let’s make it fun, data-rich, and wildly effective.\n\n#ai #ecommerce #gamification #dtc #b2b #retention #personalization #zero_party_data", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NsK-playably-the-confluence-of-shopping-and-entertainment", "votes": 5, "created_at": "2025-07-02T15:10:48.916Z" } ] }, { "id": 12711, "name": "Binks", "slug": "binks", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6464a8a7a2187e9e964be62968ef0310b20f0a5f.png", "website": "https://getbinks.com/", "all_locations": "Bengaluru, KA, India", "long_description": "Getting clothes tailor-made is very common in India, especially for women.

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!

They don’t have a way to scale sales inside WhatsApp.\n\n**Our Backstory**\n🤔 We started off with an ecommerce business, entirely on WhatsApp, which grew to a customer base of 200K followers on Facebook, who would make purchases after seeing our weekly product drops on WhatsApp.\nOther businesses started reaching out to us, offering to pay for our \"WhatsApp sales tools\". That was the Aha moment! We realized that selling these tools to other businesses, was the way to go and launched a SaaS business. Through the good grace of a lot of people helping us along the way - we got paying customers, investors, even YC and making millions in revenue profitably! yay!\n\n**Wanna play with it?**\nSure!

Unlike Rent the Runway, we don’t handle any inventory or deal with cleaning the items. Our initial target market is sorority girls who can have up to 3-4 events per week that they need a new outfit/dress for. One of our core theses is that this idea couldn’t have existed at scale until now because resale apps like Depop & Poshmark paved the way for a P2P model to work after familiarizing users with the process of taking pictures of items, shipping, etc. \r\n\r\nAdvantages to our P2P model\r\n\r\n- Entrepreneur-led\r\n - Similar to Depop, most of our growth will be spearheaded by a group of “top renters”\r\n- More variety in inventory\r\n - Existing rental companies like Rent the Runway own all the inventory so they're limited to the brands they buy/partner with. Since we're P2P, our users can rent any item or brand that's in someone else's closet\r\n- Better margins\r\n - we don’t touch any inventory or deal with the cleaning of any items\r\n - Unlike Rent the Runway, we don’t handle any inventory or the cleaning of items.

Clara started as an AI skin analysis product, and today it has evolved into a **full-stack AI assistant for dermatology**; combining analysis, guidance, product discovery, routine building, and prescription support in one experience.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90878&key=user_uploads/480320/ca033475-82fe-42d1-a02f-c81449db06f5)\n\n## 🤕 The Problem\n\n**The global challenge:** 3 billion people face skin issues, yet 90% can't access dermatologists due to cost and availability barriers.\n\nSkin and hair care decisions are still fragmented. Users jump between social media advice, search results, product catalogs, prescriptions they don’t fully understand, and doctor visits that are too expensive or too hard to access regularly.\n\n**India's crisis:**\n\n* 1 [dermatologist](https://clinikally.com/products/video-consult-with-a-skin-hair-specialist?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=290525+yc_launch_post) per 100,000 people\n* Consultations often require long journeys + weeks of waiting + month's skincare budget in fees\n* 70% of Indians live with untreated chronic skin concerns\n\nEven when people know they need help, they usually don’t know where to begin: What is this concern? Which products are right for me? How do I build a routine? What does my prescription actually do? **Clara is built for that exact gap.**\n\n## 💡 Our Solution\n\nClara is your **AI assistant for skin and hair health**. You can start with a face or hair analysis, ask Clara questions in chat, get tailored routines, receive product recommendations, and even upload a prescription to understand what it means and which products match it.\n\nInstead of giving users a static report and leaving them there, Clara helps them move all the way from confusion to clarity to action. That makes Clara useful not just once, but every time someone has a skincare or haircare decision to make.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90878&key=user_uploads/480320/9c355c2d-b7dd-4382-a40e-9f99ee36597d)\n\n**What Clara can do:**\n\n* Analyze face and hair concerns with AI-powered flows.\n* Recommend personalized routines based on user concerns.\n* Suggest relevant products with dermatology-backed guidance.\n* Explain prescriptions and match them to useful products.\n* Answer ongoing skin and hair questions in a conversational interface\n\n## 💡 How Clara Works\n\n1. Start with your concern. Scan your face, choose hair/scalp analysis, upload a prescription, or just ask a question in chat.\n2. Clara understands the context and gives you structured guidance instead of generic internet advice.\n3. You get personalized recommendations across routines, products, and next steps.\n4. When needed, Clara can work as the intelligent layer connecting users to Clinikally’s broader dermatology ecosystem.\n\n## **Why this matters**\n\nMost skincare tools do one thing well: analysis, product discovery, or consultation intake. Clara is designed to unify those moments into one assistant experience. The result is a product that feels less like a calculator and more like an always-available dermatologist copilot.\n\nFor users, that means faster decisions and better clarity. For us, it means Clara can become the highest-intent entry point into personalized dermatology journeys across Clinikally.\n\n## **Try Clara**\n\nYou can now use Clara to:\n\n* Analyze your skin or hair\n* Ask dermatology questions\n* Build a customized routine\n* Get product suggestions\n* Upload a prescription for instant guidance\n\n**⭐⭐ Try Clara here:** [clara.clinikally.com](https://clara.clinikally.com) **⭐⭐**\\\n**Open the assistant directly:** [clara.clinikally.com/chat](https://clara.clinikally.com/chat)\n\n**More exciting features are coming**: Scalp scanning and cross-platform mobile apps for our full-stack e-pharmacy and [dermatologist consult](https://clinikally.com/products/video-consult-with-a-skin-hair-specialist?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=290525+yc_launch_post) platform launching later this year.

A way that sells better than Zillow.\n\n### **About Us**\n\nYaniv Knoll and I are based in Tel Aviv and met in the IDF in a small intelligence unit specializing in 3D solutions for special operations. Our work was recognized with the highest intelligence award for 2015.\\\nFor the last 10 years, we’ve built 3D and computer vision-based solutions in military, HR, construction, and real estate.\n\nThe idea was born last year when my parents tried to sell the apartment that I grew up in. A month went by with no offers after the empty pictures sat on Zillow waiting for anyone to show interest, so I created a dedicated website showing how the home fits different family structures and purposes, using editable interior realistic designs for each room of the house. Within days of prospective buyers using our product, we went from no offers to three, and a 10% higher asking price than expected.\n\n### **I want it!

We enable e-commerce brands to create a cohesive shopping journey from video-first social platforms to their storefronts. Using them, our customers have been able to increase return on ad spend (ROAS) by 30% and decrease CAC by 20%. As a part of this launch we’re offering 1 Month Free as outlined below in the ‘Asks’ section.\n\n## **❌ The Problem: E-commerce brands are losing marketing efficiency on paid social ads due to iOS 14**\n\nDue to iOS 14’s privacy tracking updates, e-commerce brands are facing rising customer acquisition costs (CAC) and declining ROAS on social platforms like Meta, TikTok, and SnapChat. Brands are lacking efficient and modern shopping experiences to combat this.\n\nOnline shopping hasn’t changed in 10+ years, but _where_ shoppers are discovering brands has changed dramatically. Now, shoppers are discovering brands on social media platforms where video is the main medium. This preferred medium of video is completely lost when a shopper arrives on a Shopify website from social media - a pretty large disconnect.\n\nBuilding shoppable video experiences that feel as snappy as an app in the browser isn’t something Shopify and other site builders support. This limits brands to testing simple things like copy changes and different hero images on their websites…things that don’t really move the needle from a core metrics perspective (CAC, ROAS, conversion rate, etc.)\n\n## **🎉 The Solution: Shopping experiences native to social media**\n\nOur Video Storefronts enable a new shopping experience that is native to the video-first medium of social media. Brands have success using our Video Storefronts as the landing pages for their paid social ads.\n\nBrands can create as many Video Storefront links as they’d like so they can create a storefront per product, per video, per ad campaign, per you name it! This lets brands curate each experience for the shopper and ultimately create a more cohesive end-to-end shopping experience.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74475&key=user_uploads/1164333/178bda56-a114-4b9b-921a-0d60da5ef58c)\n\n## **⚙️ How it works**\n\nUsing our Video Storefronts is very straightforward. Since we don’t touch a brand’s actual website and host everything ourselves on your subdomain, we actually require zero engineering resources to get live!\n\nAll we need from a brand to create a Video Storefront link is (1) a video and (2) a products list to feature in the storefront. It usually takes brands <1 day to get their first Video Storefront live. Once a brand has their storefront link, they can drop it in their social ads manager platforms to be the landing page for existing ad campaigns. This lets brands monitor results using tools they are already familiar with.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74475&key=user_uploads/1164333/efda7308-5465-48bc-a5a8-8fb7b5773bdb)\n\n## **📈 What results can you expect?**\n\nWe work with 7-figure and 8-figure revenue brands and have increased their ROAS by 30% and decreased their CAC by 20% by using our Video Storefronts. We are constantly A/B testing improvements on our shopping experience (the UX, layouts, interactions, etc.) and rollout the winning tests we conduct on your behalf so things are always improving 🙂.\n\n## **🙏 Asks**\n\nFor a limited time, we’re currently offering 1 Month Free of our Video Storefronts product for e-commerce brands doing at least $1M in annual revenue that [**sign up from this link**](https://www.viddyapp.io/partnerships/yc-video-storefronts-launch?utm_source=yc-launch&utm_medium=yc-launch-video-storefronts&utm_campaign=yc-launch-video-storefronts&utm_id=yc-launch-video-storefronts).", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/JND-viddy-e-commerce-video-storefronts-that-convert-paid-social-ads-better-than-shopify", "votes": 19, "created_at": "2023-08-29T15:43:24.279Z" }, { "id": 68494, "title": "🛒 Viddy - Shoppable video experiences for e-commerce", "tagline": "We let e-commerce brands add interactive and shoppable video experiences (think Instagram Stories and TikTok feeds) to their websites to increase personalization and conversion rate.", "body": "**🚀 TL;DR Short-form video is the new default medium of content consumption, but e-commerce hasn't adapted and has been static text & images for +10 years. Viddy bridges this gap by bringing familiar and interactive video UIs that are shoppable to e-commerce.**\n\nHi everyone👋 Harris and Nihar here from Viddy! We’re on a mission to change the future of online shopping.\n\n### **🚨 The Problem**\n\nConsumer behavior is shifting towards consuming more short-form vertical video (thanks to TikTok, Instagram, SnapChat, YouTube Shorts, etc.), yet e-commerce has been static text and images for over 10 years.\n\nE-commerce brands and their storefronts have struggled to adapt to this video-first trend, leading to their conversion rate and engagement consistently dropping year over year. Lower conversion rate and engagement leads to lower revenue, retention, and LTV.\n\n# \n\n### **🎯 Our Solution**\n\nWe've built familiar video UIs (such as Instagram Stories, animated carousels, swipeable TikTok feeds, among others) that can be easily embedded on an e-commerce website. See examples below:\n\n![](https://t20558217.p.clickup-attachments.com/t20558217/75c857dc-99f2-43e9-9bca-7019b7908c91/img1.png)\n\nBrands can feature custom call-to-actions within videos (for example: taking a quiz, booking a demo, viewing a product page, etc.). See our mobile optimized video player in expanded view below:\n\n![](https://t20558217.p.clickup-attachments.com/t20558217/054c0633-9fb3-4424-bd51-e0561c6ee71b/img2.png)\n\nEverything is configurable and customizable in terms of what videos a brand wants to use to the look & feel of our video player. See our CMS below:\n\n![](https://t20558217.p.clickup-attachments.com/t20558217/3f897964-6394-486e-8fa9-d421676c5953/image.png)\n\n**You** [**try a live demo here**](https://www.viddyapp.io/?utm_source=yc_launch_post&utm_medium=yc_launch_post&utm_campaign=yc_launch_post&utm_id=yc_launch_post#live-examples) **here** **to play around with our video experiences firsthand!**\n\n# \n\n# 🧐 **How it works**\n\n1. Upload your video assets to the Viddy CMS\n2. Add any call-to-actions you want within your videos\n3. Select which video UI you want to use (Stories, Carousel, Floating Player)\n4. Copy code embed and place on your site and voila!\n\nIt usually takes 1-2 days to get live and all our customers have seen a +10x ROI.\n\n# \n\n# **💬 Backstory: we come from e-commerce**\n\nWe come from the e-commerce industry and have led growth and experimentation of large DTC brands. We led a men's skincare brand that struggled to educate men on how to use skincare products (what does each product do, how much, how often, which order, etc.). Explaining this with video always performed better than static text, but getting people to engage with YouTube or Vimeo embeds wasn't great.\n\nWe noticed that video UIs that are on par with mobile social apps are not readily available to non-technical website managers (a growing segment with the advent of Shopify, Webflow, Wix, etc.) and we're here to fix that.\n\n# \n\n# **⚡️ Our ask**\n\n* **If you know any folks at e-commerce brands and can make a warm intro, please email us at** [**founders@viddyapp.io**](mailto:founders@viddyapp.io)\n* **Want to join the platform?

It works by combining machine learning with human expertise to produce the best product recommendations.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69112&key=user_uploads/1164034/3234f8dd-48e2-4edc-8525-f63699ee47e9)\n\n# Introduction\n\nCo-founders Alexandra and Georgia have over a decade of experience shipping products in fashion tech, B2B ML tooling, and high-scale data infrastructure, and are passionate about making the state of the art in machine learning effortless and easy to understand.\n\nAlexandra’s career started with her dream job working on clothing recommender systems for fashion tech companies, and she and Georgia founded Rubber Ducky Labs to be the suite of dream tools that they wished were available for building recommender systems.\n\n# The Problem\n\nYou’re a PM at a fashion tech startup. Your app is recommending that you buy ski jackets. It’s June.\n\nLooks like nobody told the algorithm that summer isn’t ski jacket season, and now it’s your job to figure out whether or not your algorithm will start driving away users. If your team’s metrics dashboards can’t answer the question, you’ll need to file a ticket for the data science team to run some analysis. Looks like it’s going to be at least a week before you have an answer.\n\n# The Solution\n\nWith Rubber Ducky Labs you’ll have an answer within minutes. Now, you’ll be able to understand whether you looked at a lot of ski jackets recently, so it’s just happening to you, or if your colleague recently flipped a switch to promote a brand that happens to carry a lot of ski jackets.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69112&key=user_uploads/1164034/918010a5-c9d2-49f6-b1a0-44086fb79f57)\n\nOur solution was developed from over a hundred conversations to answer the question of “what’s going on with my recommender system?” With Rubber Ducky Labs you can:\n\n* Explore your data visually - with product images\n* Drill down from aggregate metrics all of the way to individual item or user journeys\n* Consolidate and debug your company’s business logic\n* View annual and seasonal trends\n* Facet, segment, and filter and your data\n* View side-by-side comparisons of models or ranking changes\n\n# The Vision\n\nThe mission of Rubber Ducky Labs is to allow people with domain expertise — like product managers, merchandisers, marketers, growth hackers, and founders — to easily build intuition about and incorporate domain knowledge into their recommender systems.\n\nToday’s launch is just the first step. We want to help you do everything from consolidating business logic to previewing side by side model comparison to launching production experiments, all within RDL’s tools.\n\nIf this sounds like something you’re interested in, we’d love to build together.\n\n# Technical Details\n\nSetup took 90 minutes of time with our first user. Under the hood, Rubber Ducky Labs is a fully hosted web app that connects directly to your data warehouse on the backend to pull your custom metrics and data. No need to deploy any services or change any code, plus you get to bring your own model! Additionally, the web and API are authenticated with Auth0 to keep your data safe.\n\n# Our Ask\n\nWe’d love to learn more about your recommender system, and start identifying areas for improvement. Interested? Email [alexandra@rubberduckylabs.io](mailto:alexandra@rubberduckylabs.io) to get started.\n\nHave a friend who works with recommender systems? We’d love to meet them!

Just connect your Shopify, Amazon, or other store and we handle the rest.\n\n* Registration: We can register companies in all 47 sales tax charging states.\n* Monitoring: We monitor for sales tax rate changes and automatically adjust your tax settings.\n* Filing: Lastly, we submit tax returns & payments on your behalf.\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/xkilm56kCWPHeUyHBIY4a-dsuiEyZgxaIoWV0bcsxo-WXl3fZxZ2qWf5D3I6xy0at4xZ8gvmkxmM245gEWXLIil-WFtvKERRMZmy22bsNB4A95owzOuA7mY1MC3FwQLB9A1gRsqPiG9o85HRpybvCaI)\n\n### **Why us?**\n\n**Kevin** - Kevin is a licensed CPA in the state of California.

No technical expertise required.\n\nBecause conversions are being tracked on the store backend rather than the browser, Converge can track 100% of conversions and forward these to relevant ad platforms and analytics tools.\n\nUnlike Segment or other CDPs, Converge allows non-technical ecommerce operators to set this tracking up in minutes.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72382&key=user_uploads/772323/7f38e933-f6ce-489f-abf6-cd11149e83d1)\n\nOnce tracking is set up, Converge aggregates data from all sources and provides a single overview of ecommerce KPIs.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72382&key=user_uploads/772323/5eb15873-3ea8-4e32-8e96-2efa057df4d7)\n\nUsers can also break down attribution metrics across channels, campaigns, adsets, and even ads, showing what is driving growth on a granular level.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72382&key=user_uploads/772323/eb78601f-2d1a-4a75-a35b-f5e7db168d3f)\n\n## **Our ask**\n\n* Sign up for [**Converge**](https://www.runconverge.com?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=launch-yc) today and test it for free!\n* If you know any **ecommerce brands or agencies**, we would love to chat!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IpS-converge-segment-for-ecommerce", "votes": 24, "created_at": "2023-06-20T14:03:45.650Z" } ] }, { "id": 29045, "name": "Movley", "slug": "movley", "former_names": [ "Movley", "OpsNinja" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/79242638b23a78d632224e08f484f02f5318f098.png", "website": "https://movley.com/", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "Movley is your e-commerce brand's product quality control department.

Our customers include AI glasses company Brilliant, men’s health supplement company Sperm Worms, Nordic lighting company Creative Lighting, and luxury skincare brand Yon-Ka. Michael previously co-founded Snips, an AI voice platform acquired by Sonos.\n\n**The problem: the death loop of customer service**\n\nWe’ve all been there: you have a simple problem that you take to customer support, but you’re forced into a never-ending cycle of being passed between different agents and explaining your situation for the (n + 1)th time.\n\n**1. The burden of effort:** If a customer is working harder than the company to solve a problem, the system has failed.\n\n**2. Fragmentation:** You start a chat on your phone, move to your desktop, and have to explain your account number and issue for the third time.\n\n**3. Dumb automation:** You talk with a chatbot that acts as a gatekeeper, not a helper.\n\n**4. Costly, slow onboarding:** Onboarding a new customer support agent brings an expensive and time-consuming burden.\n\nTraditional BPOs (Business Process Outsourcing) try to solve this through headcount in low-cost regions, and rely on manual processes and legacy CRMs that are slow to adapt and prone to error. This approach does not work.\n\n### **The solution: [14.ai](http://14.ai) is the AI-native customer service agency**\n\nWe are a full-service agency built from the ground up with AI as the core engine.\n\n#### **1. High-touch concierge**\n\nExcellent service guides everything we do. After our customers hand over their existing integrations, we tell them to stop answering tickets; now, it’s our problem. This level of service extends to our customer’s customers. We offer the best customer service in the world, and we are always working to stay that way.\n\n#### **2. Low constant onboarding**\n\n[14.ai](http://14.ai) goes live within hours. We take away the burden of onboarding new customer support agents and begin answering your tickets immediately. We get our customers to inbox zero on day zero.\n\n#### **3. Agentic resolution**\n\nMost bots just provide “how-to” links. [14.ai](http://14.ai) actually does the work. We plug in to your company’s most complex processes, autonomously verifying purchases, generating shipping labels, and triggering refunds in a single, seamless flow.\n\n#### **4. Outcomes, not tools**\n\nOur AI engineers operate our own highly tailored software for automation. Customers only see the parts they actually need to see: reports, CX metrics, resolved conversations, VIP or high-touch integrations, and the like.\n\n#### **5. The human-AI feedback loop**\n\nOur human team is supercharged, not replaced. We also service our customers around the clock, 24/7.\n\nOur full-time AI engineers are based in San Francisco and are responsible for answering every support ticket, automated or not. Every time we encounter an edge case, that intervention is fed back into our agents - they become smarter every day.\n\n### **Who is this for?**\n\n**E-commerce companies, mobile applications, fintech companies, healthcare companies, and more.** These are types of companies we’ve worked with already and have seen huge impact with. Customer relationships begin with a 7-day free trial, allowing for onboarding and for potential customers to confirm that there is a fit.\n\nEvery customer we have onboarded repurposed their support teams before their trial even finished.\n\nWe thrive where volume is high and customer support is managed by a number of human customer support agents, either domestically or overseas. If you’re a company with a backlog of support tickets, even better: we’ll take care of your entire backlog on Day 1.\n\n### **Our ask**\n\nWe want to be your customer service. If you’re tired of managing a fragmented support team, fighting with legacy BPOs and VAs, or having a backlog of support tickets, we’d love to talk.\n\n**Visit our website at[ ](https://14.ai)[14.ai](http://14.ai) or book an intro call with us here.**\n\n### **Also! We’re launching the world’s first autonomous consumer brand: GloGlo**\n\n[GloGlo](https://gloglo.com/) are rapid glucose gummies designed for Type 1 diabetics, high-performance athletes, and more.

We are live with companies like AngelList, Mindbody, and Plotly.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76470&key=user_uploads/72181/65f672d8-ad2b-4f01-843a-75653e4010ab)\n\n**Problem**\n\n* **Scaling customer support with headcount is expensive:** Human resources account for 90%+ of customer support expenses.\n* **Customer support agents burn out:** Support tasks incur large amounts of manual, repetitive, and ungratifying work that humans don't need to be doing, causing burnout, turnover, and reduced quality.\n* **Customer support is more than a chatbot on a website:** In an API-driven world, customer support tools need to evolve with the company’s tech stack. Existing AI-powered solutions are not delivering on the promise, resulting in sub-par customer experience and low NPS and CSAT scores.\n* **Company resources are siloed across systems:** As companies grow, so does their expert knowledge. It is hard to access at scale, and keeping employees up-to-date is nearly impossible.\n\n**Solution**\n\n* **Comprehensive data indexing:** Markprompt addresses the root of the information access problem by indexing all available knowledge within a company, setting the foundation for a robust system of record to feed the AI. This includes:\n * Salesforce Knowledge databases\n * Salesforce and Zendesk tickets\n * Notion wikis\n * GitHub repositories, discussions, and issues\n * Company websites, docs, guides, blogs\n* **An API-first approach:** Markprompt is built from the ground up with an API-first approach. Every feature, from indexing and processing of data to generating drafts, triaging tickets, creating chat replies, or triggering automations, can be achieved via our APIs. Markprompt also provides SDKs (such as React hooks and components) and no-code tools to enable integrations at all touchpoints in the customer journey.\n* **Deep integrations:** Markprompt works well within existing support platforms, such as Zendesk and Salesforce. And with our APIs, it is possible to build custom integrations to accommodate any setup.\n\nHere is an example of a bespoke ticket deflection and triaging system built with our React libraries:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76470&key=user_uploads/72181/52faa2d8-f529-4ce4-8314-a3f6e5cba849)\n\n**How we help**\n\n* **Efficient ticket deflection:** Deploy AI-driven chatbots and ticket deflection systems that efficiently handle routine queries, allowing support teams to focus on more complex cases.\n* **Accelerated case resolution:** Use automated drafts to streamline case resolution, ensuring faster response times based on the up-to-date expert knowledge.\n* **Actionable AI agents:** Enable AI agents to perform user actions, such as processing refunds or canceling a subscription, with high accuracy.\n\n**Who we are**\n\nWe are life partners, and passionate about design and AI. Michael previously founded Snips (acq. by Sonos), a privacy-respecting voice AI platform that now powers all voice interactions on Sonos speakers. Marie and Michael previously founded [Motif](https://motif.land), a collaborative docs platform based on Markdown and React. While building Motif, we realized that the tasks of maintaining company expert knowledge up to date and providing stellar customer support are intimately connected, and both can in large part be automated. This led us to build Markprompt.\n\nWe are backed by founders and operators at Algolia, Microsoft, Snowflake, Stripe and Vercel.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=76470&key=user_uploads/72181/19f7c2ed-c74f-4e4a-b959-454f7645b039)\n\n**Our asks**\n\n* **Introductions:** We're looking for tech-savvy companies processing 1000+ customer support tickets per month.

We are Manish and Sanket (right to left), the team behind SureBright. We started our professional journey together with our first job at Samsung Research Institute 14 years ago. \\\n\\\n[**Manish**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/manishchauhan01/) **(CEO)**, a graduate of the University of Waterloo (MMath, CS) and INSEAD (MBA), has developed products for industry giants like Amazon and serves on the board of the InsurTech Association. [**Sanket**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanketmunjal/) **(CTO)** has led engineering departments at insurtechs such as Policy Bazaar, which has become a household name in India. Together, we bring 25 years of combined experience in insurtechs, startups, major tech companies, and business.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83656&key=user_uploads/456731/48122b44-2e46-4967-8d6f-81c645ca259d)\n\nWarranty and insurance distribution in e-commerce has seen minimal change, with the industry evolving slowly. At Surebright, we're on a mission to revolutionize this by leveraging the latest advancements in generative AI. Our platform enables US and Canadian merchants to seamlessly integrate Apple Care-like warranty programs for any eligible product, from ovens to bikes. We achieve this with nearly zero onboarding and operating costs, allowing merchants to offer these warranties in just minutes across any sales channel.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83656&key=user_uploads/456731/62878cfc-f33a-4731-82c6-022f2614970f)\n\n### **What is the problem? ❌**\n\nThe cost of offering product warranties is exponentially high for merchants and insurers. As it follows,\n\n1. **Resource-Intensive Integration:** Merchants must create a file transfer-based system to integrate with insurers. Additionally, they need to develop internal tools to apply the correct warranty plans to products, build custom UIs, and manage data collection, sharing, and tracking to meet both insurer and regulatory requirements. This entire process can take **six months to a year to go live**.\n2. **Recurring Additional Work:** Maintaining integrations and tools requires dedicated engineering teams. Running the warranty program also requires dedicated time from the operation team. This usually requires **additional hiring**.\n\nBelow is what the current merchant landscape looks like,\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83656&key=user_uploads/456731/0e70aa2b-9c2e-41d7-bc6d-6b292f383590)\n\n### **How is SureBright Solving these problems? 🎉**\n\nSureBright’s **warranty program runs on auto-pilot**, empowering merchants of all sizes and providing the following key benefits:\n\n1. **99% less onboarding time, no onboarding or operating costs**, and no recurring tasks or hiring required. Our end-to-end automated solution ensures you never worry about the warranty program.\n2. **Cover any product** under warranty and offer other insurance products, such as Shipping Insurance, without lifting a finger.\n3. **Enjoy the highest warranty conversions** in the industry, averaging around 20.2%.\n\n**With these benefits, we help merchants boost their bottom line** by up to 12% through warranty margin share. Offering warranties also increases customer trust in the brand, leading to 15.6% more conversions and a 14% increase in Average Order Value. In addition, customers get a better post-purchase experience, resulting in more repeat customers and fewer negative reviews.\n\n### **The “aha” moment? 🎯🧠🧨**\n\nWe began our journey to help smaller merchants (<$100M in sales) offer warranties. But, within 3-4 months of going live, we began attracting interest from larger merchants. **The “aha” moment came when Insurance companies started utilizing our platform for their customers.** This was a pivotal moment, leading us to develop SureBright as the Stripe for embedded e-commerce insurance products.\n\nToday, our customers include a diverse range of merchants and marketplaces with $0.5M to $1B in sales, insurance companies, tech firms involved in consumer product purchase journeys (such as Buy Now Pay Later), warranty management companies, and other insurtechs.\n\nYou can explore our consumer journey with partners such as [**Blackstone**](https://blackstoneproducts.com/products/blackstone-pizza-oven)**, **[**Magnum Bikes**](https://magnumbikes.com/products/magnum-pathfinder-t)**, **[**WalkingPad**](https://www.walkingpad.com/products/walkingpad-c2-foldable-walking-machine)**, and Street Cred Capital (BNPL).**\n\n### **How can you help? 🙏**\n\nIf you know any merchant, marketplace, or company participating in the consumer purchase journey, such as Buy Now Pay Later and Checkout Management Companies, please make the introduction. We and they will both be very thankful!

We faced this problem first-hand at Uber Eats, where we built tech to enhance millions of listings uploaded by our restaurant and retail partners.\n\n### **🔍 Problem**\n\nMost rapidly growing e-commerce companies spend several hours each week managing their products across sales channels. Teams drown in spreadsheets, manually adding descriptions, images, and attributes for hundreds of items.

We both did 5+ years at Gusto, followed by Middesk and Retool, and watched the same painful problem play out across eng, data, ops, and growth teams: the information you need exists online, but getting it into a structured, usable dataset is brutally hard.\n\n**TL;DR: Write a prompt. Riveter builds the list and enriches it -- scraped live from the web. No stale databases, no stitching tools together.**\n\nTeams at OpenAI, Snap, and Fermat are already using Riveter to build datasets they couldn't justify building manually.\n\n**Ask:** We'd love to show you what Riveter can do for your use case.

Every law firm in California. Every vet practice by state. Every competitor's pricing page. The information is out there.\n\nThe problem is getting it out.\n\nCurrent options all hit the same wall:\n\n* **Data vendors** sell you records from a static index -- outdated the moment you buy them, and missing anything outside their database\n* **Clay and Parallel** pull from the same stale indexes. When we asked both to return all YC Winter 2026 companies, Parallel returned an incomplete dataset at a way higher cost. Clay returned \"Y Combinator\" as a company, along with results from other batches.\n* **ChatGPT and Claude** can reason about the web but can't handle the scale -- you can't ask an LLM to return thousands of enriched records reliably\n\nThe result: teams buy incomplete data, spend weeks building it manually, or go without.\n\n---\n\n**✅ Our Solution**\n\nRiveter agents navigate the web the way a researcher would -- running searches, visiting pages, reading results -- and return a fully structured, enriched dataset.\n\nWrite one prompt. Get thousands of rows.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=99741&key=user_uploads/2203245/0293cc39-8404-4d03-bf11-2da4ad628033)\n\n\\\nDescribe what you want: _\"Return every dental practice in San Francisco, the dentists at each practice, and their contact details\"_\n\n1. Riveter agents search the web, visit pages, and compile the list -- live, not from a cached index\n2. Custom enrichments get layered on: lead scores, pricing data, contact info, whatever your workflow needs\n3. The result lands as a structured dataset, ready to use or pipe into your existing tools\n\nNo code required. Use it in-app, via API, or through our MCP server.\n\n---\n\n**🔍 Use Cases**\n\n**Sales and lead generation:** Find hyper-specific lists no vendor has pre-built. Every locksmith in the US. Every independent law firm in California. Every vet practice by state. Add enrichments in Riveter to qualify, score, and route them into your outreach.\n\n**Product data:** School logos, all attorneys at every AmLaw 100 firm, every menu item at every restaurant chain in a market. If it's on the web, Riveter can build it.\n\n**Market intelligence:** Track competitors and their pricing on a daily or weekly cadence.

But retrieving and structuring that data for your product or agents is far more complicated than it should be.\n\n---\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nYou need data from the web to equip your agents with more information or pipe structured data directly into your product.\n\nBut when it comes to web scraping, the gap between _idea_ and _working solution_ is huge.\n\n* What starts as **“just a simple scraper” often turns into a patchwork of 5+ vendors** (SERP providers, proxy networks, headless browsers, scraper libraries, and infrastructure) leading to weeks or months of engineering effort.\n* Timelines creep, **engineering costs rise, and maintaining scrapers becomes an ongoing burden**.

We help growth stage companies like Gusto accelerate strategic decision making, using deep market research and analysis. \n\n#### About us\n\nAbby has 10 years of product experience, including Middesk and Gusto, where she was an early PM and led the Mid-Market Payroll team. Erica has 7 years of experience as a software engineer. She was an early engineer at Middesk, and before that, she was at Airbnb.\\\nWe’ve spent our careers exploring and executing on new product areas and expansion opportunities, and trying to optimize businesses’ results. **We’re building Riveter to help companies make better strategic decisions, faster.**\n\n\n\n#### The problem\n\nGrowth stage, venture funded companies have two top concerns:\n\n1. How do we maintain growth at scale?\n2. Do our metrics align with public companies for a successful IPO?\n\nTo answer these questions, companies often do the following:\n\n* **Explore adjacent areas for expansion:** A commercial neobank might consider expanding to consumer\n* **Benchmark to similar companies:** Toast might compare their financials to Square's\n* **Track their market share:** A CRM might monitor competitors’ penetration across the market\n\n#### Our insights\n\n* Companies are hiring consulting firms that cost $1M+ and take months to provide a single report, which quickly becomes outdated.\n* Accessing key insights into public companies requires time consuming analysis due to inconsistencies across companies and obfuscation of important information.\n\n#### The solution\n\nRiveter automates the collection and analysis of private and public company data, **so you can focus on making the right strategic decisions, faster.** \n\n#### The product\n\n**The deepest analysis of public companies available**\n\nGet the data you wish Capital IQ gave you.\n\n* Get data on the usage of specific products, customer counts, retention, and more, in addition to standard metrics\n* Review metrics like gross margins, ACV, customer segment, CAC, CAC payback, Rule of 40, and more that have been automatically calculated for you, and are always up to date\n* Understand company-specific language and segmentation\n\n \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85462&key=user_uploads/2203245/c283cf5c-4abf-471a-b8c3-b296996a768b)\n\n**Analysis of investor relations documents** \n\nRiveter summarizes key documents and artifacts, and extracts relevant quotes to save you time getting to the information you need.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85462&key=user_uploads/2203245/cd59d464-0ec8-436b-a2aa-0a60e031d077)\n\n\n**Search company documents and Riveter data**\n\nLooking to understand how a certain product is performing?

This saves merchants the costs associated with shipping replacements and, just as important, improves customers' perception of the merchant's brand.\n\nBy flagging GPS irregularities, using AI-assisted calls and texts to guide drivers at pick-up & drop-off, and scheduling around customer availability, Getcho ensures seamless and reliable deliveries.\n\n## Demo\n\n\n\n## About us\n\nJack and Evandro (\"Dro\") met in college.

They want an experience where they can ask questions, like talking to an in-store rep. They're prompting about what to buy, the model names a few, people purchase those, and you're left relying on Meta's rising ad spend to acquire new customers or retain existing ones. Producing content for millions of SKUs is beyond human scale, and what we found is that millions in revenue was lost because of it. Below is what we learned after 7 months talking with brand owners.\n\n**What We Learned:**\n\n1. It's not about training the model. Everyone gets this wrong. When someone asks, the model runs a live search, reads what it finds, and picks. What decides it is boring and specific: a catalog structured so the model can trust it, and the right content on the sources it reads.\n2. Existing tools were built for SaaS. They hand you a score and stop. That playbook breaks the moment you have 5,000 SKUs and variants. A brand and retailers unit of AEO is the catalog, not a homepage.\n\n**The Solution:** Our solution is simple. First, we run a full audit of how you show up across AI search. Second, we build your roadmap. Lastly, we optimize your product catalog and create the content that gets you recommended. After 30 days, we tend to see a 5x increase in revenue.\n\n**Our Ask:** Try a free trial of our tool [here](https://wild-card.ai/).

They begin with a job, an installed system, a constraint, or a problem. The knowledge needed to qualify, recommend, configure, quote, repair, replace, or upgrade the product is scattered across manuals, catalogs, spreadsheets, calculators, product managers, applications engineers, dealer processes, support teams, and legacy systems. The result is abandoned demand, slow qualification, wrong-fit recommendations, quote delays, weak dealer follow-up, missed parts and service revenue, and dependence on a few experienced people.\r\n\r\nProx builds AI product specialists for equipment manufacturers. A product specialist uses the manufacturer's approved product knowledge, expert rules, calculators, and connected systems to move customers and frontline teams from a complex product question to the right purchase, quote, dealer, parts, service, replacement, or upgrade path.\r\n\r\nHow it works:\r\n\r\n1. Understand what the person is trying to accomplish.\r\n2. Resolve the product, application, and operating context already available.\r\n3. Ask only for the missing information that changes the result.\r\n4. Apply approved sources, expert rules, and deterministic tools (calculators, selectors, configurators, comparisons).\r\n5. Produce a supported, cited recommendation, configuration, procedure, or decision artifact.\r\n6. Move the person into the correct cart, quote, RFQ, BOM, dealer, sales, parts, service, replacement, upgrade, or expert action with the context preserved.\r\n\r\nOne product specialist, many governed skills: product discovery and comparison, sizing and configuration, competitive defense, quote preparation, dealer enablement, installation and commissioning, troubleshooting, parts identification, and approved service, replacement, and upgrade paths. Manufacturers deploy those skills to customers, dealers, sales teams, applications engineers, support teams, or field service. Existing CRM, CPQ, commerce, and support systems stay in place.\r\n\r\nSupport and service are revenue-bearing surfaces.

We deployed our first agents at [**ShipBob**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/shipbob) (unicorn 3PL handling 100+ million packages per year) to automate carrier claims for lost-in-transit packages. **They're now live in production, processing hundreds of claims in parallel and on track to recover millions in carrier refunds annually.**\n\n**what is 3PL?**\n\nthird-party logistics companies (3PLs) are the invisible infrastructure behind e-commerce brands: they warehouse inventory, fulfill orders, manage returns, and negotiate with carriers so brands don't have to.\n\n**the problem:**\n\n40,000+ 3PLs in the US all do the same thing: throw people at operational bottlenecks.\n\n❌ Claims processing done manually, one by one \\\n❌ Invoice reconciliation eating hours of labor \\\n❌ Compliance paperwork blocking growth \\\n❌ Every increase in package volume = more back-office hires\n\nThat's the margin trap. Logistics companies stuck at 3-5% margins because headcount scales linearly with volume of packages. You can't compound when labor costs are linear.\n\n**what we built:**\n\nWe developed an n8n-inspired agent building platform - native to logistics infrastructure. It integrates with Salesforce, warehouse & transportation management systems, carrier portals, Microsoft Teams, and email → then executes SOPs end-to-end.\n\nWith this platform, we can deploy agents in production in a matter of days.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95414&key=user_uploads/3066807/dc3e69b6-c3f6-476d-94c5-578b3a02d9de)\n\n**use case: ShipBob Carrier Claims Automation**\n\nHere’s an example of how our agents handle lost package claims for [ShipBob](https://shipbob.com/), one of the biggest 3PLs in the US.\n\n> first demo at ShipBob HQ in Chicago\n>\n> ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95414&key=user_uploads/3066807/cd110709-17ec-410e-90c8-e3c0d7db72f5)\n\n\nWhen a package goes missing - our agent orchestrates resolution: pull order data, calculates refund amounts, files with carriers, monitors responses, parses updates, syncs internal systems, escalates exceptions - hundreds running in parallel.\n\nOur agents do not stop at task execution - we designed them to own outcomes. If a carrier doesn't respond, the agent follows up. If documentation is missing, it fetches it. Each agent has one objective: get the claim resolved.\n\n**about us:**\n\n[**Gregory Makodzeba:**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-makodzeba/)\n\n* Founded Rektoff: built blockchain security infrastructure protecting $100B+ in crypto assets (clients: Solana Foundation)\n* Led Developer Relations at Runtime Verification, working with NASA, Boeing, and Ethereum Foundation on formal verification for mission-critical systems\n* Grew up implementing ERP and WMS systems in the family distribution business\n\n[**Dima Yanovsky:**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yanovsk/)\n\n* MIT grad: Computer Science + Electrical Engineering\n* Robotics research at MIT CSAIL under Prof. Pulkit Agrawal on manipulation policies;\n* Built internal and customer-facing AI agents at Pulley (YC W20) during early GPT era\n* Spent childhood automating warehouse operations and business processes\n\nWe both grew up in our parents' warehouses. When we weren't moving boxes around, we were doing the mundane back-office work every warehouse has (filing claims, reconciling invoices, chasing carriers). This was the pre-LLM era, so we had no choice but to grind through manual workflows. We saw firsthand how coordination became the biggest constraint on growth - and how no software could actually handle it end-to-end.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95414&key=user_uploads/3066807/68380300-ee0e-4379-98de-de1b551b269e)\n\nWe deeply understand the ontology of logistics operations.

Instead of paying attention in math class, I would spend hours trying to buy limited-edition Jordans.\n\nAt first, I thought getting inventory was the hard part. But as I scaled to hundreds of items, I discovered the real bottleneck was actually selling them.\n\nEvery item took 30+ minutes: research comparable prices, write descriptions, take photos, fill in product details, post across eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace. Then do it all over again for the next item.\n\nI had thousands of dollars in inventory just sitting there because the listing process was killing me.\n\n**We realized this wasn't just a reseller problem.** The average American household has $4,000 in unused stuff lying around, yet most Americans who've sold online quit after just a few listings. Valuable inventory sits unsold, not because there aren't buyers, but because the listing process is too manual to make sense. With AI, this is finally changing.\n\n🗣️ **What we’ve built**\n\nSellRaze turns a photo into a live listing **in seconds.**\n\nPoint your camera at anything. Our AI identifies the item, determines what it's actually worth, selects the best photos, fills in every detail, and lists it across multiple marketplaces, automatically. Once it sells, we arrange free pickup from your door.\n\nThe entire process, which used to take 30+ minutes, now takes seconds.\n\nWe're building more ways to help sellers make money faster, including our own marketplace where video and social discovery replace static search.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94942&key=user_uploads/1004744/bf667419-2fcf-4f16-9d62-d583ca997790)\n\n**🚀 Traction**\n\n* 200,000+ signups\n* Averaging 30% MoM growth\n\n**Our Team:**\n\nJeff (CEO) likes breaking stuff. In high school he built “sneaker bots” to buy Jordans faster than everyone else. During COVID, he started a company reverse-engineering anti-bot systems from PerimeterX, Akamai, Datadome, and Amazon, then sold the exploits to scalpers. It crashed the supply chain for 30-series NVIDIA GPUs, PS5s, and Xbox X's. He made his first $100,000 before turning 18.\n\nTyler (CTO) spent college writing telemetry and control software for industrial robotics at UGA, then moved to Georgia Tech Research’s CIPHER Lab, working on cybersecurity and hardware evaluation research that protects critical infrastructure. He built the systems Jeff loves to break.\n\nWe both met in college as roommates and have been building software for eCommerce over the past 5 years.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94942&key=user_uploads/89898/c72d5644-48f3-49ed-b9fc-d804dc1f3a60)\n\n**🙏 Our Ask**\n\n* If you’re moving out, decluttering, or making extra money on the side selling stuff online, give SellRaze a try!

Consumer brands have always been limited by the speed of humans: hiring, coordinating, and sleeping. AI agents that now run operations end-to-end break all those constraints, making a new kind of consumer business possible: one capped by compute, not headcount.\n\nToday, Light Anchor operates one flagship brand and multiple experiment stores, all run by AI agents on a shared platform that compounds with every new brand launched. The vision is thousands of consumer businesses, operating with little to no human intervention.\n\n\n\n### **Why we're doing this**\n\nE-commerce brands have always been bottlenecked by how fast humans can run them. With agents that operate end-to-end, that bottleneck disappears, and a different kind of consumer business becomes possible: one where the cost and speed of operating it isn't capped by headcount.\n\nTo test whether agents could do the actual work humans do at an e-commerce brand, we deployed our first agent on Upwork, where small businesses post tasks for freelancers. We started small, with discrete tasks: catalog cleanup, SKU uploads, and data migrations. Within days, our agent had completed 50+ Shopify jobs end-to-end at a 4.9/5 rating, and the same clients started asking for more. \"Clean up our catalog\" turned into \"run our marketing,\" then \"handle our sourcing,\" then \"run the whole storefront.\" Within 3 weeks, we were running multiple stores end-to-end for owners who used to do this work themselves.\n\nToday we own and operate multiple stores of our own.\n\n### **The agents, platform, and data**\n\nHere are the agents that run our stores:\n\n* **CEO agent**: sets weekly priorities, manages a $10K budget per brand, escalates decisions for human review\n* **GM agent**: P&L, merchandising, inventory, sourcing, customer support\n* **Marketing agent** ([cherylkim.me](http://cherylkim.me)): creatives and influencer marketing\n* **Engineering agent**: unblocks technical work, ships tools\n\nEvery brand runs on the same architecture, with a shared layer (agent tooling, integrations, analytics) and a brand-specific layer (memory, policies, and decisions). Both compound: every brand we launch makes the platform smarter, and the marginal cost of launching the next brand keeps falling. Our bet isn't just to operate more stores; it's to understand customers better than any human team can and capture demand the moment it shifts.\n\nEach brand generates a stream of operating decisions (creatives tested, ads spent, suppliers negotiated, tickets closed) that gets written to a central record the agents can read back from.\n\nHumans don’t operate this way because the cost of writing everything down and coordinating across teams is higher than the value. When the operators are agents, that cost goes to zero. Once the record accumulates, a few things become possible: better targeting, faster store setup, and market/consumer simulations.\n\n### **Asks**\n\nIf you're any of the following, or you know someone who is, we'd love to hear from you:\n\n* **Buy our products:** Use the YC code YC26 for 25% discount at[ ](http://slowhaste.com).

Our AI agents know each ecommerce brand's catalog, voice, and customer taste — they sell to every visitor on the site, and represent the brand to every external agent (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) asking about it from outside.**\n\n**The problem.** For 25 years, the ecommerce storefront has been a static grid with a search bar. Conversion has hovered at 1–3%. Most visitors leave because the surface is passive - it shows them everything, asks them nothing, and expects them to do the work of figuring out what they want.\n\nAt the same time, brands need to cater to how AI talks and represents their brand when conversations are held off platform. ChatGPT shopping queries doubled in six months. As more shoppers ask agents to compare and decide before they ever land on a brand, brands are losing control of how they're described — what those agents say about a brand is whatever they guessed from a public catalog scrape, not what the brand would want them to say.\n\n**What we built.** On the brand's site, Kinect's agents sell every visitor — running sales conversations like concierge, adapting and personalizing product pages to customer segments in real-time, picking the right recommendation for the question being asked. The agent picks up on what each shopper actually wants by looking at where they came from, what they are doing on site, their searches, filters, order history, and more. The storefront stops being a static grid and starts being a salesperson.\n\nOff-site, we expose an enriched brand-owned data layer makes the brand legible to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Structured catalog, brand voice, fit notes, return reasons, segment-level nuance — all exposed in formats external agents can actually use. When an agent describes the brand, the version it describes is now the one the brand would want them to. All of this sits on a parallel Agent storefront that is context rich, structured, and catered specifically for agents to read and scrape. The Kinect agents are also available for the agents to talk too, ask questions, and more.\n\n**One brand layer built for all surfaces.** Built for scaling DTC e-commerce brands.\n\n**Launch Video: [https://youtu.be/fSOVQKz8AVM](https://youtu.be/fSOVQKz8AVM)**\n\n**Early Traction**\n\n* 11 customers live across Wellness, Fashion, Sporting Goods, and Consumer Goods\n* Engaged users with our sales agents convert 2.4x higher\n* 80% of conversations are first time customers unfamiliar with brands\n* 10-15% conversion gains for early beta partners\n\n**Backstory**\n\nKratik and I spent the past year at Reevo building conversational intelligence for B2B sales – extracting buyer intent from dialogue, helping enterprise teams understand what prospects actually wanted, and close more deals faster. We also used AI to scrape and research customers and know where the gaps are in discovery.\n\nAs we built for B2B reps, our E-Commerce friends kept asking for something like this for their own brands – a way to reimagine the website to drive conversion and personalization. So we got to work.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100032&key=user_uploads/3413616/85f4ba2e-bbaa-4b31-86ef-557f1a764b63)\n\n**Asks**\n\nIf you know someone who runs an E-Commerce brand (or you are one) – we’d like to give them early access + dinner on us for you!

Our agents have driven over $2.7M in GMV since the start of the batch.**\n\n\n\n**The problem:** The best marketplaces in the real world run on salespeople. The real estate agent who takes you house to house and texts you the moment the right listing is about to hit the market. The Sephora beauty advisor who finds your exact shade. The jeweler who walks you through diamond cuts for an engagement ring. **Online marketplaces skipped that person entirely** and left the selling to search bars and filters.\n\n**What we do:** Palisade builds the missing **sales agent**. Every single visitor to your marketplace gets their own dedicated agent, and conversion goes up massively.\n\n**How it works:** Agents can take any action possible on your platform. They know every listing, every UI component, and every flow. They navigate for users with their own cursor, help them discover, add to cart, and complete the purchase or booking. They build custom pages and reshape the UI around how each person actually uses the platform, remembering each user and tailoring the experience to their behavior and preferences. Each dedicated agent can naturally text and email with their customer as well.\n\n**Is this another chatbot?** Each agent is proactive with much richer, customized components than an idle chatbot. It’s like giving every customer an omnipotent Claude embedded into the platform. Palisade agents get to know each customer personally and build relationships over time. They keep working after customers leave, remember them when they return, and reach out proactively over email and text with personal messages. And everything they learn flows back: agents aggregate their conversations into reports, insights, and recommendations for sellers, and offer to make concrete optimizations themselves, to the listings and even to the marketplace platform itself.\n\n**Integration**: Start by adding just one line of code to your existing platform, whether your marketplace sells yachts, vacation rentals, rare collectibles, or anything else.\n\n**Backstory:** After studying CS at Princeton, I spent years at Amazon building software for influencers to sell more products. I then became a founding engineer at Sage AI Labs, where I worked on some of the very first iMessage agents for consumer shopping.
