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": 169, "name": "OrderAhead", "slug": "orderahead", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/e334d62bafa0332695cbf9c8cdda90c9f097a691.png", "website": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/orderahead", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "OrderAhead is a mobile ordering and payments company that enables millions of users to order pickup from thousands of local merchants.", "one_liner": "Order ahead for pickup", "team_size": 50, "industry": "Consumer", "subindustry": "Consumer -> Food and Beverage", "launched_at": 1326789995, "tags": [ "Cashierless Checkout", "Marketplace", "Payments" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2011", "status": "Acquired", "industries": [ "Consumer", "Food and Beverage" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/orderahead", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2011/orderahead.json", "year_founded": 2012, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/orderahead", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/e334d62bafa0332695cbf9c8cdda90c9f097a691.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 33963, "full_name": "Jeffrey Byun", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "2x YC founder (W11, P26), CEO of Akkari, and former bond trader.

Interact directly with your chosen entrepreneur via chat, photos and videos. Then watch your impact multiply as the entrepreneur pays your donation forward by funding other entrepreneurs in need.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71010&key=user_uploads/36608/a2a1c289-4c12-44b5-9559-68e075dd0a1d)\n\n### The problem: Developing country businesses lack capital\n\nSmall businesses provide 80% of employment in Africa and other emerging markets - but they lack access to the capital they need to grow and provide more jobs. Too small to be profitable for banks and too large to benefit from consumer loan apps, these businesses are called the “missing middle” because they fall between the tiers served by existing financial infrastructure.\n\nFor example, Daniel started a cybercafe in a low-income neighborhood in Ghana. His facility is the only source of internet access in the community, but it has only two computers and people must wait for hours to use them. Daniel earns barely enough to support his family, and there isn’t enough left over to invest in new machines.\n\n### The solution: Connecting entrepreneurs to investment capital\n\nA friend invites Daniel to use Zidisha, and he signs up and posts his story and photos on the platform. His initial project of $50 is funded by a combination of Zidisha entrepreneurs and philanthropic backers who visit the website. He uses the $50 to buy a printer and add printing services to his cybercafe. Within a couple of months, the printer has paid for itself. Daniel “pays it forward” by funding $50 worth of projects for other fundraising entrepreneurs on the platform.\n\nIn a subsequent project, Daniel raises $300 and uses it to acquire two more second-hand computers. This doubles the capacity of his cybercafe and Daniel’s earnings. Daniel pays the $300 forward to other Zidisha entrepreneurs while continuing to benefit from the increased cash flow. The increased earnings allow Daniel to enroll his daughter in high school.\n\nEventually, Daniel raises $1000 to open a second cybercafe in a nearby neighborhood. He hires two employees to help him manage the second cybercafe.\n\n### How it works\n\nEntrepreneurs in developing countries create project pages where they share their story, photos, and descriptions of their investment opportunity. Projects are funded by backers from all over the world.\n\nInstead of repaying the projects as loans, entrepreneurs “pay it forward” by in turn funding other entrepreneurs on the platform.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71010&key=user_uploads/36608/bd8803ee-5359-4009-8d63-e66a4c4fe466)\n\nEntrepreneurs post project updates and interact directly with their backers through the project discussion tab.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=71010&key=user_uploads/36608/e1786735-029d-492b-b38c-6cafcec477d9)\n\nBackers can view which projects were funded by their entrepreneurs and watch their impact grow over time as the funds continue to be recycled.\n\n### How you can help\n\n* Connect us with impact investors who are interested in creating new opportunities in developing countries.

Travellers get the best price and they help local businesses avoid unnecessary fees. \r\n\r\nTravel experts, content creators and the friends you always ask for recommendations can use The Guide to showcase their favourite places to stay and things to do.

We began to expand internationally by 2021, and we have continued to grow ever since.

For families needing more than conventional education has to offer, Outschool is the online learning platform that offers the widest variety of topics to suit any interest. With Outschool, learners are free to pursue their interests, connect with others around shared passions, and build confidence through progress. Outschool scales up the human connection between teachers and learners because we know interaction and engagement are what’s important for kids. \\* **Quality:** We’re the established international market leader providing live online classes that are taught by vetted, diverse, and expert teachers since 2015. \\* **Variety:** We offer the largest variety of teachers, classes, and community resources to inspire learners and support their families. \\* **Flexibility:** Our range of class options and topics are suited to your child’s unique needs and learning level. \\* **Access:** We provide an accessible option relative to private tutors, private schools, and after-school clubs.

These low-fidelity forecasting methods weren’t giving them a clear enough understanding of their production until it was too late, leading to waste and inefficiency throughout the supply chain.\r\n\r\nWe saw a problem we wanted to solve.\r\n\r\nToday, Bountiful is using advanced data science to help farmers forecast more accurately, so they can make better decisions. In the last three years, we’ve combined the latest in machine learning with weather, satellite, geographic, and historical data. The result is a user-friendly platform that transforms volumes of complex agricultural information into simple, actionable insights farmers can use to run more economically and environmentally sustainable farms.\r\n\r\nMore recently, we’re working to open the dialogue between buyers and sellers, remove uncertainty, and provide clarity to the supply chain to meet global food demand.\r\n\r\nOur ultimate goal is to close the agricultural margin of error.

Extern created the remote Externship, a skill-building work experience that is easier for students to access, and easier for companies to run, than an internship. Our mission is to help anyone discover and launch their career through professional experiences available anywhere at any time. Since 2020, we’ve created and powered Externships for over 50,000 students on behalf of companies from Fortune 500s to startups. \r\n\r\nAfter spending $100K on average for a 4-year degree, graduates find that almost 40% of entry level jobs on Linkedin required 3+ years of work experience. Internships are how many college students get this kind of experience, but the demand for good internships outstrips the supply. Internship programs are difficult to scale, they favor students who already have social capital, and they’re time-consuming for employers to run.\r\n\r\nExternships are short, online, project-based work experiences that employers can offer to hundreds of students using less resource and employee time than it would take to support an intern. Extern makes the complex process of running an Externship completely turnkey with software and industry experts which in turn makes professional experience more accessible to more students.\r\n\r\nBy making work experience more accessible, Extern is driving the rapid mobility and upskilling needed for a new economy. We envision a world where anyone can access work experience as a form of education – no matter their background, experience, or socio-economic status. Come join our movement to reshape work, education, and credentialing for future generations with the Externship.\r\n\r\nExtern was born out of a pivot from Paragon One (W17) which initially focused on providing students with a career center-as-a-service platform, connecting them with industry professionals to receive career coaching and guidance.

I found available resources designed to help those with records get back on their feet woefully lacking. Unemployment among those with records was/is staggeringly high, leading to recidivism rates of close to 75%. I knew there had to be a better approach.\r\n\r\nI came up with a tech-enabled strategy, and began a plan for 70 Million Jobs, the first for-profit employment platform for people with records. I was accepted into YC and had success in profitably facilitating thousands with records land jobs. Unfortunately, COVID hit and cratered our revenue, forcing me to shut down the company.\r\n\r\nI remained working in reentry (it’s been 15 years now), and hatched an idea to build a community for the billion+ people (globally) that have records, who uniformly express their needs for jobs, housing, community, medical and legal help. Commissary Club aims to address all of these needs by providing each user their own AI agent that doesn’t merely answer questions, but actually solves the problem. For example, regarding employment, it will create the resume, search for the jobs, apply for the jobs, perform interview prep, arrange for transportation to the interview follow up.\r\n\r\nThe agent will introduce members to other members.

(i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)", "answer": "My conviction to build Super came when I was a kid. I grew up in my family’s retail business, which served tier 2 cities up to rural areas. I learned that life was unfair in the rural areas compared to the capital city where I grew up. 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":

A restaurant that has served someone fifty times knows less about them than an e-commerce site they visited once. This is the core problem: offline commerce is data-blind.\r\n\r\nFor restaurants, this means running on disconnected tools — one system for billing, another for reservations, spreadsheets for everything else — with no way to know who their customers are, what they love, or why they stopped coming. For diners, it means friction everywhere: flagging down staff to order, waiting for the bill, and a dining experience that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades.\r\n\r\nIt's a big problem because of the sheer scale of what's being left on the table. Food services in India is a massive market, and it operates with almost none of the intelligence that transformed online commerce. Delivery platforms captured the \\~10% of eating that happens at home; the 90% that happens inside venues remains a black box.\r\n\r\nWe decided to work on it because the problem was obvious but invisible — it had been the status quo for so long that nobody questioned it. We realized that solving it requires owning both sides: the restaurant's operating system and the consumer's touchpoint. That's hard, which is exactly why it hasn't been done — and why it becomes an irreplicable moat once you do." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Our vision is to build the memory layer for physical commerce — starting with dining.\r\n\r\nIf we truly succeed, walking into a restaurant will feel like the internet already works: the venue knows you, the experience is personalized, ordering and paying are frictionless, and an AI concierge (Elara) guides you to the best possible experience before you even decide where to go. Discovery, decision, and transaction collapse into one intelligent layer.\r\n\r\nFor restaurants, success means every independent venue in India operates with the data sophistication of an e-commerce giant — understanding their customers, optimizing their menus, and reaching high-intent diners directly instead of renting them from aggregators at punishing take rates. Think Shopify for restaurants: infrastructure that makes the merchant more powerful, not more dependent.\r\n\r\nAnd dining is just the beachhead. The same problem — physical venues with no memory of their customers — exists across all of offline retail. If we win dining, we become the intelligence layer for offline commerce broadly: the UPI of physical retail operations, a shared infrastructure that makes the real world as smart as the digital one.\r\n\r\nThe world that results is one where the 90% of commerce that happens in person is no longer invisible — where physical businesses finally compete on equal footing with digital ones." } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/explorex", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2020/explorex.json", "year_founded": 2020, "city": "Bengaluru", "country": "IN", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/explorexinc", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/explorex_inc", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/explorexinc", "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/b038a5e905f1f6cf97ad14baa85b93658ffe2791.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/a7f2474cb752c4fa581298f71c0f8b63431de1ac.png" ], "primary_partner": { "name": "Aaron Epstein", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/aaron-epstein" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 208015, "full_name": "Mainak Sarkar", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Hardcore product guy with core focus on UX and Practicality.

As I transitioned from studying physics at Imperial College London to delving into tech, finance and startups, I encountered a personal struggle with skin issues (cystic acne) that persisted for over a decade. I had tried everything; from diets, to medications, to products to try and improve my skin, but had great trouble in identifying if what I was trying was actually working. Having turned to online social media skincare communities for support, I knew I wasn’t alone. So, this struggle, coupled with a genuine desire to help others navigate their skincare journeys with confidence, ignited the idea behind Clear; an app that helped people to track their skincare routine, skin progress, access a community of like-minded individuals on a similar journey, and get data-driven, unbiased product recommendations.The vision was not only to provide users with personalized skincare recommendations but also to fuel innovation in the industry, enabling brands to create more effective product formulations.

We're not just an app; we're a movement reshaping the future of skincare." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "The core problem Clear addresses stems from a lack of clarity and communication within the skincare landscape. Consumers find themselves grappling with uncertainty about which skincare products to use and whether these products are effective. Simultaneously, skincare brands face a challenge in understanding their consumers, hindering industry-wide innovation. Dermatologists, too, encounter difficulties in efficiently communicating with their patients.\\\\This problem is substantial because it permeates the entire skincare ecosystem. For consumers, the ambiguity around product efficacy can lead to frustration and wasted resources. Skincare brands, without a clear understanding of consumer behavior, struggle to innovate and tailor their products to meet genuine needs. Dermatologists, the experts in skincare, face inefficiencies in conveying information and prescribing effective routines.\\\\The decision to tackle this pervasive issue arose from a personal connection and a broader recognition of its widespread impact. I personally endured the challenges of skincare struggles, which fostered a deep empathy for others facing similar dilemmas. Recognizing the industry-wide ramifications of this problem, the decision to create Clear was driven by a passion for revolutionizing skincare journeys, providing clarity for consumers, empowering brands with actionable insights, and facilitating seamless communication between dermatologists and their patients.Clear's mobile app acts as a transformative solution by offering routine tracking and a dynamic social community. This platform enables users to objectively measure their skincare progress, connect with a supportive community, and receive data-driven product recommendations. For skincare brands, Clear becomes a conduit for real-time insights into consumer behavior and sentiment, leveraging product usage metrics and user-generated content. Moreover, Clear facilitates secure sharing of routine and progress data between users and medical professionals, allowing dermatologists to prescribe effective skincare routines seamlessly.In essence, Clear emerges as the bridge that resolves the communication gaps in the skincare industry, providing users with confidence in their skincare choices, brands with valuable insights, and dermatologists with efficient tools to enhance patient care in this $200B industry." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Clear's overarching vision extends beyond being a solution for current skincare challenges. Our aim is to become synonymous with skincare, a pervasive force in a $200 billion market. The long-term vision for Clear envisions a comprehensive ecosystem that transcends conventional boundaries. From being a single source of truth for skincare recommendations and self-tracking to delving into teledermatology, operating an expansive e-commerce marketplace, introducing a rewards program, curating engaging skincare content, entering the skincare market, and fostering industry-wide innovation through data-driven insights – Clear aspires to redefine and elevate every facet of the skincare experience.As Clear achieves its long-term vision, the world of skincare will undergo a transformative shift. The pervasive uncertainty and inefficiencies plaguing the skincare industry will dissipate, replaced by a seamlessly integrated ecosystem that empowers consumers, brands, and dermatologists alike. Individuals navigating their skincare journeys will find clarity and confidence, supported by personalized recommendations and a supportive community.

We’re YC W21, and today, we’re launching something big: **Clear Premium**.\n\n### **💡 The Problem**\n\nSkincare is broken. People spend hundreds on products, but don’t know what’s working, what’s causing breakouts, or how to personalise their routine. Skin is complex, and most advice is vague, biased, or not designed for people of colour.\n\nAs someone who struggled with acne for years, I found myself wishing there was a way to _track_ my skin, get _honest_ recommendations, and see _real_ results over time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91922&key=user_uploads/543078/1890c5c9-36d4-4580-af64-7fdee16b3144)\n\n### **🧪 What We’ve Built**\n\n**Clear** is the app I wish I had when I was struggling.\n\nWith Clear, you can:\n\n* Log your routine + products\n* Take progress photos\n* Get ingredient breakdowns\n* Learn from a diverse, supportive skincare community\n\nAnd now, with **Clear Premium**, we’re giving people even more power:\n\n🔓 **Premium Features:**\n\n* Track unlimited progress photos\n* Smart routine analytics: see what’s really helping (or hurting) your skin\n* Compare products and ingredients side-by-side\n* Scan products for instant info\n* Export your routine and skin journal\n* More customisation, better insights, and no guesswork\n\n🎥 [Watch our premium launch video](https://youtu.be/8CzArSSg4ws?si=_VaCOIKZqzvai6jk)\n\n### **🛠️ Why We Built It**\n\nFor the past 3 years, we’ve grown Clear with very little marketing - just word-of-mouth from a passionate, underserved community. We’ve been used by 50K+ people across 100+ countries, featured on the App Store, and recently partnered with top dermatologists to help people get clinical guidance too.\n\nThis launch is a huge milestone for us. It’s our next chapter - one that gives our community more tools, more control, and a way to stop wasting time and money on trial and error.\n\n### **🎁 14-Day Free Trial**\n\nClear Premium is available now, and **every new member gets a 14-day free trial**. No strings attached. Just download the app and start exploring.\n\n📲 [Try Clear Premium now](https://getclearapp.com/premium)\n\n💌 Want to chat, collab or share feedback? Reach me at [ahana@getclearapp.com](https://mailto:ahana@getclearapp.com)\n\n---\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\nIf you know someone who’s struggling with their skin, or just skincare-curious, send them Clear. If you’re building in health/wellness/consumer tech and want to jam, I’d love to connect. And if you’ve launched a consumer subscription product recently, I’d love to hear what worked for you.\n\nThanks so much to the YC community for supporting us all the way from a 4-day-old idea to this launch, 4 years later 💙", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Nuc-clear-track-and-share-your-skincare", "votes": 15, "created_at": "2025-07-07T15:44:12.777Z" } ] }, { "id": 23631, "name": "Camlist", "slug": "camelan", "former_names": [ "Camelan" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/33eae1fc1075a7f90669145824533f54bfd6bd3f.png", "website": "https://www.camlist.com", "all_locations": "London, England, United Kingdom; Remote", "long_description": "Camlist is the super app for pets, a video-first, mobile-only, social platform that allows pet breeders and pet parents to interact, transact, and care for their furry friends all under one roof.", "one_liner": "The super app for pets", "team_size": 5, "industry": "Consumer", "subindustry": "Consumer -> Home and Personal", "launched_at": 1611650267, "tags": [ "Marketplace", "Video" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2021", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Consumer", "Home and Personal" ], "regions": [ "United Kingdom", "Europe", "Remote", "Fully Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/camelan", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2021/camelan.json", "year_founded": 2020, "city": "London", "country": "GB", "linkedin_url": "", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/33eae1fc1075a7f90669145824533f54bfd6bd3f.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 603842, "full_name": "Moustafa Mahmoud", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "3x Technical Founder, 15 years in tech.

Thereafter, we were the co-founders of HotelQuicky (the “Hotel Tonight” of Asia-Pacific), which turned into an OTA generating over $100M in annual GBV (exited in 2017).\n\nAfter HotelQuickly, Raphael then founded GoBeeBike, which was the leading bike sharing company in Hong Kong, before becoming the Head of Asia at Rocket Internet. Chris co-founded GuestReady, which is now the largest short-term rental management company in Europe and the Middle East.\n\nWe have made a lot of learnings in PropTech, hospitality and on-demand marketplaces. We combine these learnings with our own experience in working remotely for the most part of the past 10 years and decided to launch Deskimo in a period where most companies are moving to a hybrid work model. \n\n### **Asks**\n\nWe would love to get your feedback, if you happen to be living in Asia and like to work from different places.

Eventually, I found a protocol that worked — not just for me, but for dozens of my closest friends. But I couldn't find the time to cook consistently and no meal service met my standards. So I built my own.\n\n### **Problem ❌**\n\nAs a founder, I never had time to cook, so I’d always settle for Doordash meals that made me feel sluggish and low energy. After doing some research, I realized that most prepared meals have:\n\n* **Low quality and processed ingredients** - produce sprayed with synthetic pesticides and sauces filled with processed ingredients and artificial emulsifiers (neurotoxins that can harm brain function over time)\n* **Unhealthy oils** - full of low-quality vegetable and seed oils, which throw off your Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio (key to optimal cellular and brain function)\n* **Little to no fiber and protein** – dietary fiber and lean muscle mass are both huge components to regulating blood sugar (critical to sustaining energy levels)\n* **Packaging full of microplastics -** heating food in plastic containers leeches toxic chemicals and disrupts hormones\n\nAfter realizing that the way I eat can have a huge effect on my productivity levels, I started trying out “healthy” meal delivery services. Most tasted bad and claimed to be healthy, but after digging deeper, I realized it was mostly BS marketing with no real nutrition standards to back them up.\n\nThe Blueprint service appeared to be the best option, but after doing more research, I found that they just outsourced their food production to a company that uses seed oils and low-quality ingredients.\n\nEvery service I tried was compromised in some way. **I couldn’t find any options that hit all of the science-based health standards that I cared about and helped me perform my best.**\n\n---\n\n### **Solution 💡**\n\nI spent a long time doing research (and crunching studies with chatGPT) to come up with a strict list of rules for the food that I wanted to eat. Then, I found an experienced chef with over 20 years of fine dining experience and gave him a carefully curated list of approved ingredients for each meal.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88937&key=user_uploads/714052/e2221663-6c7b-4412-91ff-e4f7240f6c40)\n\nThe meals that he created were delicious, and after a few weeks, I started noticing I felt different. **I had more energy throughout the day, felt much less fatigue after a long day of work, and started sleeping better.**\n\nMy friends asked to join in and get meals from my chef, and many began to notice the same benefits that I did. That’s when I decided to offer this as a service to everyone.\n\n### **Our Ask ❤️**\n\nWe want Locale to be the best delivery service for people who care about their mental performance and long-term health.\n\n* **Have you found any nutritional hacks that have helped you be more productive?** Tell us what worked (or didn't).

We’re a team of 5 building a marketplace to solve Canada’s labour shortage and give everyone the power to work on their own terms.\n\n### **Problem: Canadian businesses are struggling with staffing**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73045&key=user_uploads/425576/dbbd3422-576c-41db-aab8-2ae66e7c6bb0)\n\nIn Q4 of 2022, 36.9% of all Canadian businesses experienced difficulties hiring skilled labourers, led by construction (49.5%), manufacturing (47.4%), and food services (46.3%). We spoke to over 100 companies, and more than half have experienced one of these within the last 90 days:\n\n👎 Candidate doesn’t show up to interview\n\n👎 Candidate signs offer but doesn’t show up on the first day\n\n👎 Employee quit without notice\n\n👎 Employee consistently shows up late or leaves early\n\n👎 Skilled labour positions go unfilled for months due to lack of applicants\n\n### **🎉 Solution: Airwork 🎉**\n\nAirwork is an on-demand labour marketplace that lets managers book vetted workers online within minutes. We spent the last year building in private beta and are now launching in **public beta**! 💪 🚀 📈\n\nAirwork’s vetting process involves a resume screen, attendance test, background check, and video interview. As a result, out of tens of thousands of applicants, only the top 5% are selected.\n\nWe’re live the Greater Toronto Area, just expanded to all of Southern Ontario, and plan to expand across Canada.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73045&key=user_uploads/425576/78a4a429-d2f2-4752-82b5-83f74d4e9656)\n\nTo date, Airworkers have filled skilled and general roles for:\\\n1\\. Manufacturing plants\\\n2\\. Warehouses and logistics companies\\\n3\\. Construction companies\\\n4\\. Events, conferences, and weddings\\\n5\\. Commercial cleaning and facility services\\\n6\\. Commercial printing\n\nWorkers can download Airwork on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and apply to become an Airworker.

We also automate administrative and compliance complexities, reducing the overhead of workforce management:\n\n✅ WSIB insurance coverage\\\n✅ RCMP-backed criminal record checks\\\n✅ Payroll and time-tracking\\\n✅ Automated backfilling\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73045&key=user_uploads/425576/8890f4bb-d0a4-41e8-9421-eb96fc0fbe05)\n\n### **Do you need workers?**\n\nAre you in Southern Ontario?

We want to leverage short-form video & Live streaming to create a new buyer & seller experience.\n\n* Live streaming is a game changer in secondhand fashion. Connecting with an audience in real time, answering all questions at once and selling to the highest bidder is the most effective way to move inventories - way more than managing static listings for months. It is also a unique compelling experience for the buyer.\n* Short videos have become one of the most powerful means for discovery in fashion. We developed a social Feed where our community can share inspiration, styling tips, outfits, etc. This is a place for users to find their next fashion ideas and creators to get known.\n\n### 👋 **Meet the Jamble Team**\n\nWe’re 3 French founders 🇫🇷, we grew up in the same Parisian district and have a longstanding relationship together.

There are also a lot of alluring activities that they partake in with their friends & colleagues which just adds up to a big amount at the end of the month.\n\nIn all these scenarios there is usually only one person who pays, then he/she tracks/splits the amount, then constantly asks for their money back (only to get it back after 2 months), and in the entire duration they suffer a dent which disrupts their monthly budget and there is almost negligible savings (Gosh!

Before YC, he worked at Microsoft for 3 years and graduated with distinction from the University of Waterloo.\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\n**The average completion rate for online courses is below 9%** because they are not designed for our short attention spans. Oftentimes courses are 20+ hours of content, but only contain 1-2 hours of actionable insights. Students don't want to consume long-winded lectures.\n\n**Today’s generation wants to learn from their favorite creators!** We asked over a hundred top creators what was holding them back from creating a course. The top cited reasons were:\n\n1. The time commitment required to script and film a traditional video course\n2. Not knowing where to start and how to effectively monetize a course\n3. Worries about piracy of video-on-demand courses\n4. Not being able to coach each student to the extent they’d like because their time doesn’t scale\n\n \n\nCourses allow creators massive monetization potential without dependence on advertisers; however, **many of the best creators are deterred from selling information products altogether because no platform today fits their needs.**\n\n## **✨ Our Solution**\n\n[**Pair**](https://www.pairai.com/) **is the first mobile video course platform built by creators, for creators.** We are removing all the barriers holding creators back from launching information products.\n\n**Our platform is specifically designed for structured learning through shorter**\\-**form video** with our average video length being about 5 minutes. We pride ourselves on offering more actionable insights through 2 hours of total video than traditional courses provide in 20 hours. Not only is this a much better experience for students, but it also lowers the burden on creators to launch their courses. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69766&key=user_uploads/1052399/1dddeb6d-e65d-4066-9654-71ce177db429)\n\n**Unlike other platforms, we only make money when our creators make money.** Creators keep a generous 90% of sales and we take 10%. With this alignment of incentives, our product roadmap prioritizes helping course creators maximize their long-term revenue above all else. Our out-of-box white label solution optimizes specifically for course sales and helps any creator seamlessly launch their course and craft a world-class sales funnel. We have handcrafted this experience after spending the last 4 years launching multiple 7 figure courses ourselves.  \n\n**Our platform also allows any creator or educator access to powerful engagement tools like streaks, badges, and leaderboards** to create daily habit and build a lucrative and retentive content business. These tools were previously reserved for unicorn companies like Duolingo, Calm, and Headspace with large in-house engineering teams until we decided to democratize them 🙂\n\n**Pair also offers robust tooling to prevent ripping of your content** and to actively search for and file takedown requests on the off chance piracy does occur. As course creators ourselves, we know firsthand how terrifying piracy is. A ripped copy of your course getting SEO’d to Google could cut your sales in half or worse overnight.

We met each other at IIT Kharagpur and have been friends for the past 7+ years. We’re building DailyPe — a marketplace for business loans that are paid in smaller, daily installments.\\\n—\n\n### **Problem 💸: Paying your loans in huge installments at once sucks.**\n\nSmall shop owners earn daily unlike salaried people, but when it comes to loan repayment both are asked to pay monthly. For these shop owners, it is difficult to calculate how much to save each day so that they will have the required installment amount at the end of the month. Also, at the time of repayment, they end up with a big hole in their working capital.\n\n### **Solution 💡: Reduce risk & pay small amounts daily.**\n\n**Borrower Side:** When you earn daily you pay daily and get away from the stress of huge one-time installments. Each day, a small amount of $X is deducted from your digital wallet which is on the auto-debit mandate and you don't need to worry about keeping your balance of $XXXX. You never default, and you also build your credit score. \n\n**Lender Side:** Discover defaulters early because right from the 2nd day onward, your collection data stops you from lending in that particular demographic and geographic location. These data points wouldn't be available in the traditional way of lending till at least the 3rd month. With DailyPe, lending decisions are much more informed leading to higher collection rates and lower NPAs.  \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70455&key=user_uploads/514038/c1cbfb52-4486-4bf2-aa13-d39065cd0419)\n\n### \n\n### **Why us 😎**\n\nWe both have seen this problem firsthand when our fathers, who ran their own businesses, would stress out days before installment day — saying that they “\\*\\*need to save and transfer money from their secondary accounts to pay for the loan.\\*\\*” \n\nAlso, while working at FinBox and ICICI bank in the past, we built products in the **lending-tech industry.** This was something we had always wanted to build.\n\nFun fact: These loan products are called “**khandi Udhar**” which existed for a long time in the unorganized markets in India. We are making them organized 😁\n\n### **Ask** ❤️\n\n**Lending Partners**: If you can connect us with banks, NBFCs, and debt institutions in India who are open to becoming finance providers for our small business owners. \n\n**Data Points**: If you have worked on credit models, underwriting tech, risk analysis, or any sort of lending algorithm, please reach out to us at [founders@dailype.in](https://mailto:founders@dailype.in).

This is true even though local pharmacies offer a much faster patient supply.\n\nIn Germany alone, there are over 120M deliveries done per year by pharmacies. Those are done without any digital process and are managed mostly manually. Compared to most retailers, pharmacies typically have real-time inventory management.\n\nSanvivo builds a marketplace that unlocks this existing infrastructure and delivery capabilities to enable a fast “quick-commerce” user experience. With our App, [VIVOLY,](https://onelink.to/vivolylaunchyc) patients order medication and get pharmaceutical advice via chat.

We are Kevin and Jacky, founders of [Peeba](https://www.peeba.com/).\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Z8jALKdiHQaXA8YwXCDv9tYOySii1nPFLOWqAkbsav0X8egaQ3d0veCkDIZeYFsl5pvm3G7dUBT1QaQvL6XTOIX29d0_zlx60rkmtdoygpWQrs41aV1vONYLLRjx1yjecZoGL1qyhA5ANhCvG6e0Eac)\n\n**Problems:**\n\nDespite the growth in e-commerce over the last decade, the B2B wholesale industry in Asia that supports and connects retailers with brands languishes in the pre-digital era and lags behind in technology adoption - over 80% of wholesale transactions in Asia are still brokered over phone and physical meetings with sales representatives. Retailers face difficulty discovering relevant new products, it is risky to take on new products and very cumbersome to manage multiple brand/supplier relationships. The same applies for brands - going to trade-shows to entice buyers is expensive and inefficient. This problem is amplified in Asia where people are spread out across different countries, with different languages, different payment methods, different logistics infrastructure and non-transparent pricing creates many layers of challenges for retailers and brands to build relationships. \n\n**Solution:**\n\nPeeba addresses these pain points by providing a one-stop B2B wholesale marketplace that offers retailers in Asia access to thousands of best selling products with flexible buy-now-pay-later options and free returns. Our platform uses machine learning to enable discovery, allowing retailers to streamline their procurement process, automating many of the tedious tasks associated with buying inventory and simplifying cross-border logistics, making it easy for retailers to discover new brands and manage inventory.

This is to make sure the contractor digs safely - that they won’t hit a gas pipe, for example.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93588&key=user_uploads/448610/eb053624-67ff-4b07-8abf-d10ece228cb4)\n\nFor contractors, handling these tickets is critically important, but a pain:\n\n1. Submitting tickets takes a lot of time and distracts project managers from higher value work.\n2. Making sure tickets don’t expire is also necessary, so contractors avoid a ‘down day’ (a day where they can’t work, due to an expired 811 request). \n\nWith 43M tickets submitted last year by tens of thousands of contractors, this is not a small problem.\n\nSo we decided to fix it.\n\n### We’ve made handling locates a breeze for contractors\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Y04NyOXGt2o\n\nWe built Clad Locates to make it fast and easy to submit and track 811 tickets.\n\n1. **AI-driven narratives -** We use AI to eliminate the most time consuming part of submitting a ticket, writing a ‘narrative,’ (to describe the path that a contractor will excavate.\n2. **Bulk Submission -** Clad connects with the state 811 systems to submit tickets automatically, 1 ticket at a time or 15 all at once.\n3. **Automated Tracking -** We get data from the state 811 systems to build an automated automated tracker to monitor when areas are ready to dig, and when tickets will be expiring.\n4. **Expiration Notifications** - To prevent ‘down days,’ Clad notifies contractors when tickets are expiring and need to be renewed. Soon, contractors will be able to renew tickets directly from Clad. \n\n### Join our waitlist and reach out!\n\nReach out to us at jason@withclad.com, or sign up on our [website](https://www.withclad.com/locates/overview) to learn more.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OLU-clad-locates-ai-for-infrastructure-contractors", "votes": 11, "created_at": "2025-09-04T19:23:52.719Z" }, { "id": 69535, "title": "Clad - Software to manage telecom subcontractors", "tagline": "We help telecom companies lay fiber faster with software to bid, manage, and pay their construction subcontractors.", "body": "> _tl;dr:_ [_Clad_](https://www.withclad.com?utm_source=launch_yc&utm_medium=link_in_post&utm_campaign=022223_launchyc) _is a subcontractor management platform.

There are barely any options to be able to sell precious metals online, we are changing that with a safe, simple process.\n\nPhysical precious metals is a massive market ($55B+) and exploding due to the rising inflation within the last 3-5 years, but the bad actors need to go.\n\n### **✨ Solution**\n\nWe built a platform for buyers & sellers to efficiently trade precious metals products that are assayed by the world governments and leading refineries and assayers.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73870&key=user_uploads/1135457/37b06359-cdf3-475e-90e7-739bdce24e6b)\n\nEffectively, we have lowered the premiums on precious metals to 3-5% by creating an order-book-style marketplace, down from 10-30% previously.\n\nThe key is to provide transparency of manufacturing premiums, spot prices, and historical trends in price to be able to provide the most efficient solution for purchasing physical precious metals. These will update after one week of the site launch to start giving predictions similar to Kayak’s flight advice.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73870&key=user_uploads/1135457/0cdd9e9c-4865-4c83-8f6a-959492b22bc0)\n\nIn order to carry out a streamlined marketplace, we needed a heavy-duty logistics solution, that’s why we partnered with the largest wholesaler of precious metals in the US, as well as the US Mint to secure a depository vault in the Las Vegas airport. All items are double-insured, with armed security 24/7. (Yes, we have a mini Fort Knox).\n\n### **🔦 Asks:**\n\nIf you are interested in purchasing Gold or Silver for orders over $2K please shoot me an email to [**trey@collectpure.com**](mailto:trey@collectpure.com).

These are physical coins made from precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.\n\nThe current state of the industry is plagued with asymmetric information, fragmented databases, and steep learning curves, causing many market inefficiencies. Pure aims to tackle these problems, and provide transparency to the industry as a whole.\n\n### **⭐️ Team**\n\n[Trey Benedict](https://www.linkedin.com/in/treybenedict/) **(CEO)** UC Berkeley Econ + DS 23’\n\n* 10+ years of Numismatic experience at the Smithsonian, Heritage Auctions, KLRC & Tangible Investments.\n* Purchased, graded, and sold over $20m worth of Rare U.S. Certified Coins.\n\nDavid Gordillo **(CTO)** Dropped out to pursue Pure\n\n* Full-Stack Engineer & Security Specialist\n* Sneaker Automation Developer & Collector\n\nShoutout to [Harrison Resnick](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hres/) & [Carter Watts](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carter-watts/) as well for being a part of the founding engineering team & being fellow collectors of Comics & Cars!\n\n### **❌ Problem & Current State of Numismatics**\n\nSimilar to sports cards, highly valuable coins are certified by third-party graders such as PCGS, NGC, and CAC. These entities authenticate the coins and assign them a condition rating, which scales from 1 to 70.\n\nHowever, due to the nature of the industry, many problems arise for participants such as encountering:\n\n1. **Asymmetric Information** of Pricing, Population, and Provenance of Certified Rare Coins.\n2. **Fragmented Databases** with misaligned and outdated descriptions, difficulty of navigation, and data entry errors.\n3. **Steep Learning Curves** in Numismatics often lead new collectors to purchase overpriced or even counterfeit Certified Rare Coins.\n\n### **✨ Solution**\n\nPure has created the **first aggregate index** of all U.S.-certified coins, with over 7+ million historical auction records across 72,000 different types of rare coin varieties.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72512&key=user_uploads/1135457/bbb572b7-2646-41f6-8d21-f77607b626cf)\n\nSimply **Scan, Tap, or Enter** the certificate number associated with a certified coin to be able to view all associated pricing & population data.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72512&key=user_uploads/1135457/807d05f5-b331-4f68-bcb5-6da2c955c84d)\n\nPure has created an overview for **real-time tracking and analysis** of coin inventories, benefiting collectors, dealers, and auction houses.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72512&key=user_uploads/1135457/d940e71f-b95d-4374-b606-6d27c77b1403)\n\nPure goes beyond analyzing historical data, by identifying **valuable collector traits** such as toning, mint luster, and eye appeal through the use of computer vision.\n\n### **How & Why Numismatics?**\n\nWe are collectors at heart, whether it be sneakers, cards, comics, or coins we have always collected something since we were young. Numismatics is a small niche community that happens to be one of the largest by market size, but the least technically involved. Over the years we have witnessed the revolution of sneakers through StockX & Goat, to sports cards, pokemon & Funko through ALT & Whatnot. It was only a matter of time before rare coins... However, we needed to catch the infrastructure of Numismatics up to speed first before diving deeper, hence this launch!\n\n### 🔦 **Asks:**\n\nIf you are Numismatist or know a friend who is: test [here](https://apps.apple.com/app/collect-pure-scan-rare-coins/id6446706268) 🙂\n\nInterested in learning more about Numismatics or Bullion: send us an email to [founders@collectpure.com](https://mailto:founders@collectpure.com)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/IrY-pure-bloomberg-terminal-for-certified-rare-coins-numismatics", "votes": 29, "created_at": "2023-06-24T21:44:02.861Z" } ] }, { "id": 29162, "name": "Flex", "slug": "flex", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6db50cb8b7d8269f3c2b9ce2c300b8dd5e7d0bab.png", "website": "https://www.withflex.com/shop", "all_locations": "Remote", "long_description": "Flex is a payment platform for businesses to accept HSA/FSA, unlocking the $150B per year sitting in HSA/FSA accounts. \r\n", "one_liner": "Stripe for HSA/FSA payments", "team_size": 8, "industry": "Fintech", "subindustry": "Fintech -> Payments", "launched_at": 1690520542, "tags": [ "Fintech", "Marketplace", "Health & Wellness" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2023", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Fintech", "Payments" ], "regions": [ "Remote", "Fully Remote" ], "stage": "Growth", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/flex", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2023/flex.json", "year_founded": 2023, "city": null, "country": null, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/withflex/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/paywithflex", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6db50cb8b7d8269f3c2b9ce2c300b8dd5e7d0bab.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Pete Koomen", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/pete-koomen" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 6343, "full_name": "Sam O'Keefe", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "Sam is a cofounder at Flex.

For those that require the latter, consumers can initiate a two minute telehealth consultation immediately, qualify, and receive their LMNs later that day.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=86397&key=user_uploads/6343/67901886-4948-4208-807e-b72e1d912ecc)\n\n**Quick HSA/FSA Background**\n\nHealth Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts are tax advantaged accounts that are designated to be spent on healthcare related purchases. Historically these funds have only been able to be spent on trips to the doctor’s office or buying items at CVS. \n\nFSAs are use-it-or-lose-it, meaning that at the end of the year any funds that aren't spent are forfeited. On average, individuals lose about $450 per year, resulting in nearly $10B of lost benefits.\n\n**Why it Matters**\n\nFlex Market isn’t just a shopping platform – it’s part of a larger mission to make health and wellness more accessible.\n\nBy addressing the barriers of traditional HSA/FSA spending, we’re helping people:\n\n* Avoid forfeiting their hard-earned HSA/FSA funds\n* Discover new ways to invest in their health\n* Making health products and services more accessible\n\n**Check Us Out Today!**\n\nIf you or someone you know has FSA funds to spend before year-end or is gearing up for health-related purchases as part of a New Year’s resolution, check out [Flex Market!](https://www.withflex.com/shop) If you’re interested in seeing your brand on the marketplace, reach out to us [here.](https://www.withflex.com/contact)\n\nThanks so much for your support – and here’s to a healthier 2025! 💪", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MTV-flex-market-marketplace-for-hsa-fsa", "votes": 15, "created_at": "2024-12-18T17:21:25.934Z" }, { "id": 73539, "title": "💪 Flex: Stripe for HSA/FSA payments", "tagline": "We enable businesses to unlock the $120B per year sitting in HSA/FSA accounts.", "body": "**TL;DR** - Flex is Stripe for HSA/FSAs\\*.

In the years that followed, I completed 1500+ hours of training, got certified as an EMT, and started working as a paid firefighter at neighboring departments.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Kdv8ZUe-MfNOZvEskv1GQU0aXpYs1XqlrUwY4XCc4PV2ZZMzc0lbdQJm8a7ak0FuA8rBCRPyl2t2L0Jf2AbW3dlLLERHv8SJEiQgnxc4RdLqJwItDewo67zmGmcA1hTZOjnl1GDgAlfZS0_jXgLWFLs)\n\nWhen my department bought new equipment or a new truck, we would turn to Facebook groups and word of mouth to sell our used equipment to other departments in need. For perspective, a new fire truck costs $1.5 to $2.5 million, with used trucks ranging in cost from $50,000 to $1 million.\n\nIt was a super frustrating process for us:\n\n* Countless hours spent trying to find buyers in-need\n* Navigating and losing money to scammers \n* Coordinating independent logistics and financing providers\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Nlia4iAX3VLFWzUeLBsQgbZu6fiSPTbxgaMbOSV0D2QyN0WD0HzLfP0KiAikBAqB0ne8IDW9gcko8r0V4bJ888yzOv_nTGlxYG-VTWtKW3WeJ7PEG2Ddg3rOgPGS6VVzU6ck2assojpGN4F8Wv0pFWQ)\n\n**Garage’s Solution**\n\nGarage helps fire departments buy and sell used equipment in seconds rather than days. Our marketplace handles payments, freight, and financing – making buying and selling equipment easy.\n\nWe're starting with fire departments because of my personal background, but the same problem of selling used equipment exists in many other verticals including construction, agriculture, and government surplus equipment. \n\n**Meet the team**\n\nWe met while both studying at Columbia and have been friends for 6+ years. Before starting Garage, Alaz worked at Twitter and MemAI as a software engineer, and I worked as a private equity investor at Goldman Sachs.\n\n**Email us at **[**founders@withgarage.com**](mailto:founders@withgarage.com)**.**", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KVx-garage-helping-fire-departments-buy-sell-equipment", "votes": 266, "created_at": "2024-02-28T19:03:55.748Z" } ] }, { "id": 29423, "name": "Triply", "slug": "triply", "former_names": [ "TRIPITACA" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/a50be8732ac92931d91e10a75379eb7b6b844ab1.png", "website": "https://business.triply.co/", "all_locations": "Nairobi, Nairobi County, Kenya", "long_description": "Triply (Formerly Tripitaca) is the operating system for travel businesses in Africa.

As researchers, engineers, and a rapidly growing number of commercial efforts race to develop large models for robotic intelligence, it’s become increasingly clear that the availability of sufficient quantities of quality data is the most significant bottleneck. \n\nCurrent solutions are slow, expensive, and fundamentally not scalable. Human demonstrations are the gold standard for training data. Robotics companies currently employ fleets of 5-20 data-collectors. These in-person contractors teleoperate a robot to perform hundreds of demonstrations a day - with tasks ranging from clothes folding, to bin sorting, to dishwasher loading. **This is not the right long-term solution:** \n\n* Large-scale collection is prohibitively expensive: a teleop setup requires a physical robot, often with a cost of $40,000+ per operational platform.\n* Low-quality data: restriction to labs/office spaces makes it hard to collect varied and realistic demonstrations\n* Slow data collection rates: non-intuitive interfaces, cumbersome equipment, and faulty hardware lead to slow demonstrations on platforms that break often.\n\n \n\nThese drawbacks make it impossible to scale quality training data collection to the quantities needed for robotics.\n\n# **Our Solution**\n\nWe design and manufacture low-cost and easy-to-use devices for collecting human demonstration data. Our platform costs less than $300 and can be used by anyone to collect high-quality training data. As seen in a clothes folding task that demonstrates our research prototype, the operator is equipped with a sensorized exoskeleton arm that closely matches the natural human range of motion. The intuitive design, coupled with a suite of angle, vision, and inertial sensors, enables the rapid collection of highly accurate visuo-spatial state information. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=83555&key=user_uploads/842573/a58f4a6e-504c-4dd7-a1e1-8afd1d02cb30)\n\nOur main advantage is that an operator can easily set up and equip the platform, leading to an unprecedented ability to generate quality data at scale. Demonstrations can be performed for a broad range of common tasks, in a nearly infinite number of diverse settings, in as many different ways as human behavior is varied. \n\nIn order to maximally utilize a fleet of our data-collect platforms, we are building out and operating a network of Senseis— contractors that have been trained to collect high-quality training data using our devices. Our Senseis receive task descriptions from robotics researchers and engineers, and are then paid to collect demonstrations that fulfill the request. \n\n**Our combined hardware + software stack represents the first truly scalable solution to generating training data for AI robotics.**\n\n# **Our Goal**\n\nWithin the next five years, we envision tens of thousands of operators, equipped with increasingly sophisticated, portable, and effective data-collection arms, exoskeletons, headwear, and tools. These Senseis will be located all over the world, come from and live in a variety of environments, and all have different takes on what it means to perform tasks “like a human.” This is the best way to power data collection for improved robots, and it is the future we’re building.\n\n# **Ask**\n\nIf you’re interested in solving the data scarcity problem in robotics - either for yourself, your company, or your customers - we’d love to hear from you.

However, creating this content often takes over 30 minutes per call, and with multiple calls a day, even the best reps can only prioritize a few clients, leaving others with subpar follow-ups and millions in lost deals.\n\n**Our Solution:**\n\nMica automates the sales follow-up process by generating deal-closing collateral in less than a minute. Our AI analyzes sales calls, extracts key insights, builds tailored collateral, and sends this to prospects in a centralized deal summary page.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82748&key=user_uploads/281665/a654eebe-5ef9-48ee-ab9d-ca41efc83bc4)\n\n**Key Benefits**\n\n1. **Quicker Follow-up Time:** Mica creates personalized follow ups in under 1 minute. This lets top performers do A+ work on every deal and helps the rest of the team sell like a top performer.\n2. **Faster Sales Cycles:** The point of contact can easily review important information from the call, share it internally, and make decisions faster.\n\n**How it Works**\n\n1. **Upload:** Mica automatically pulls in your sales call from existing recording or notetaking tools.\n2. **Extract Key Insights:** Mica identifies the key points the prospect was most interested in.\n3. **Generate Tailored Collateral:** Mica creates tailored decks, product demos, and 1-pagers for each key topic.\n4. **Share:** Mica generates a shareable link containing all the collateral, which can be sent directly to the prospect in follow-up emails that Mica also creates.\n\nHere’s a demo of Mica that we created from an actual Mica sales call:\n\n\n\n**Our Ask:** We’re looking to onboard customers who want to automate and improve their sales follow-ups.\n\nWe’re looking for:\n\n* Sales reps and heads of sales at B2B SaaS companies.\n* Founders who are doing founder-led sales.\n\nAnyone who is interested can book a demo [**here**](https://calendly.com/achyutaiyengar/mica-15-minute-demo).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=82748&key=user_uploads/281665/307627c1-b261-47d7-b07a-b78ac54926be)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/LWe-mica-ai-ai-agents-that-automate-b2b-sales", "votes": 16, "created_at": "2024-08-05T20:19:18.712Z" } ] }, { "id": 30048, "name": "Matcha", "slug": "astrix-health", "former_names": [ "Astrix Health" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/03a2402a95d35a5f582628b40db3166e9aba2e26.png", "website": "https://www.matcha-health.com", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "We're building Matcha, the faster, smarter way to hire clinical talent—helping hospitals find active, qualified candidates at a fraction of the time and cost of job boards or headhunters.\r\n\r\nMatcha engages candidates at scale, matching them to your organization by qualifications and cultural fit.

On average, hospitals in the US waste at least $12 million each on medical supplies. Adding to the problem, nurses can spend anywhere between **20 minutes to one hour per shift** searching for medical supplies.\n\nFor clinics, this problem is even worse. Often, the same people responsible for treating patients are also in charge of purchasing supplies. They’re already stretched on time to care for patients, let alone shop around for the best deals.\n\nWhile shadowing an imaging center, we observed a nurse doubling as an office manager, simultaneously managing inventory, searching for deals, placing orders, and treating patients. When we got home we started building.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85809&key=user_uploads/659147/266d9b6a-1150-42bb-9fd1-5a79f9640753)\n\n# **Our solution**\n\nOur product has three main functions:\n\n1. **Analyze:** The agents comb through purchasing data (such as invoices) to identify high-spend areas and cost drivers.\n2. **Search:** Deployed AI agents search for better deals, considering provider-specific arrangements like preferred vendor discounts, GPO contracts, rebates, and other incentives.\n3. **Purchase:** Where appropriate, Astrix place orders when more cost-effective options are found, saving providers time and money.\n\nIn under three weeks, Astrix has started working with 10 healthcare clinics, **identifying an average 20% cost savings** across our first users’ recurring supply purchases. Our AI agents deliver immediate value, reducing expenses and freeing up providers to focus on patient care.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85809&key=user_uploads/659147/e7f5971c-af42-4f86-9f25-420e42710daf)\n\n# **Why now?**\n\nUntil recently, it was impossible to efficiently scan numerous websites and compare the myriad factors influencing purchasing decisions—such as per-unit costs, availability, expiration dates, device sizes, shipping, and more—at scale to find the best deals. Automating ERP and website navigation for purchases or negotiating with vendors was also previously unfeasible.\n\nAdditionally, we're frustrated by the poor quality and outdated nature of the incumbent supply chain software and strongly believe providers deserve better. AI offers a unique opportunity to fundamentally rethink how healthcare professionals interact with computer systems.\n\n# **Moving forward**\n\nPurchasing is just the beginning. We aim to become the comprehensive optimization layer for hospital supply chains, integrating inventory, purchasing, and patient data to put procurement operations on autopilot—ultimately reducing that **$25 billion waste to zero.**\n\nHealthcare professionals should never feel stressed about ordering or obtaining medical supplies, nor should patient care be delayed due to supply chain inefficiencies. That’s the problem we’re committed to solving.\n\n# **The team**\n\nOur team has extensive experience building AI/ML systems for major healthcare institutions. Abu and Tom, who met at Palantir, developed some of the first generative AI projects for the UK's National Health Service.\n\nAbu led Palantir's medical and pharmaceutical distribution vertical in the US and its healthcare generative AI team in the UK. Previously, he managed data projects at Duke Health and MedStar Health across clinical science projects and hospital operations.\n\nTom has experience solving optimization problems with AI from his time as an Engineer at Palantir and his Maths degree from Oxford.\n\n# **Our ask**\n\nEmail us at [founders@astrix.health](mailto:founders@astrix.health). We're seeking introductions to:\n\n* Hospitals\n* Private practices\n* Ambulatory surgical centers\n\nWe'd be incredibly grateful for any connections.

Misprint streamlines the process by combining accurate pricing analytics with a seamless buy/sell marketplace, making it easier than ever to understand and monetize collectible assets.\r\n\r\nExisting marketplaces lack robust, real-time analytics because accurate valuations require deep expertise in both the collectibles domain and advanced pricing algorithms. Misprint’s unique blend of insider trading card knowledge and machine learning allows us to fill this gap.\r\n\r\nBuilding these pricing models requires extensive data infrastructure, deep domain expertise, and cutting-edge ML. Recent surges in the trading card market show that collectors crave transparent valuations.\r\n\r\nThe global collectibles market is worth tens of billions of dollars. Eva has experienced the scale of this industry firsthand, generating $500k ARR within three months of taking her Pokemon card-selling side hustle full-time. With additional segments like sports cards, comics, and emerging collectible categories, the growth runway is immense.\r\n\r\nCo-founders Eva and Jon have been best friends since Exeter, combining finance expertise, a passion for collectibles, and mathematical rigor.

Listing cards on our platform is 20x faster than competitors. Watch it happen:\n\n\n\n### **How it Started**\n\n\\\nEva here! I just wanted to share how this crazy idea came to be.\n\n\\\nI've always loved trading cards—both as a collector and a player. When most people grew out of it in middle school, for some reason I never did. In college, I started making [YouTube videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/evasbinder) breaking down the financial side of Pokémon cards, from undervalued sets to spreadsheets showing the expected values of sealed products. Turns out, other people were into this too! I ended up writing for [TCGplayer](https://infinite.tcgplayer.com/author/Eva-s-Binder) and PSA’s Pop Culture Magazine while working at Goldman Sachs, but as my side hustle selling cards grew, I realized I was making more from Pokémon than my day job. So in July 2024, **I quit my high-paying job at Goldman to go all-in on selling shiny cardboard**, before Misprint was even an idea.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfArFZA5gfAKqzCXiksQZntOGn7edSdz6UxKhKpkIEiIeIsZCadK774R1wvOgmjCXEE9zYZeVpuQ3RwklXt_BLisS-JmFfJ0bRDMLhKP4L3Tozf0z3lUCv1qcYJzZlHwY9r-WRA?key=1zrj1FJsKZGIBB6KR2xeQLPo)\n\n_Me getting a signed poster at the 2024 Pokemon World Championship! So cool!!_\\\n\\\nBy fall 2024, I was selling over **$40K/month** in cards with **$16-20K in profit** – but the process was painful. Sourcing inventory was inefficient, listing cards took forever, and pricing was a mess. I asked my best friend from Exeter, Jon, to help me build a tool to price cards faster. As we gathered millions of sales for 200K+ unique cards, we realized we weren’t just solving my problem – we were onto something bigger.\n\nThat’s when we decided to apply to YC (thanks to a push from my roommate, ty Prady!!). We got in, and this fun side project turned into our entire lives. Jon dropped out of his PhD, and Misprint was born – a real-time, transparent marketplace for trading cards. Now, we’re building the future of collectibles, starting with Pokemon.\\\n\\\nAnd now for the shill…\\\n\\\n**The Problem: Market Inefficiency**\n\nRight now, collectors rely on **scattered, inconsistent data** from eBay, auction houses, and forums to guess at card values. Marketplaces don’t provide real-time analytics, and pricing is often biased or outdated. This leads to **unclear pricing** and **inefficient auctions that sell below market value.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87975&key=user_uploads/2304336/8c635927-b3ff-4ec4-9293-186d405f662a)\n\n### **How Misprint Fixes This**\n\n* **Transparent Pricing via ML** — We analyze **millions of data points** (auction results, grading data, past sales) to provide **real-time, data-backed card values.** No more guesswork.\n* **Two-Sided Exchange (Bid/Ask Marketplace)** — Buyers place **bids,** sellers list **asks,** and the platform **matches orders instantly.** This means **faster trades at fair prices** without the usual back-and-forth haggling.\n* **Fastest listing process** — Sellers can list 10+ cards with a single photo, over **20x faster** than competitors.

Hit **$500K ARR in 3 months** selling Pokémon cards. Runs the Pokemon-finance YouTube channel [Eva’s Binder.](https://www.youtube.com/c/evasbinder) Has written for PSA Pop Culture Magazine & TCGplayer Infinite.

Working as Quants and Engineers at Tower Research and Citadel before YC, we spent a year trying to figure out why crypto exchanges can solve all of the above, but traditional exchanges can’t. We still haven’t found a convincing answer.\n\n#### **PS - For the Crypto/ Finance Bros**\n\nTaking a leaf out of the crypto world, [QFEX](http://www.qfex.com/) is listing Perpetual Futures in traditional assets, making it the first exchange to do so. Futures haven’t changed since the first standardized contract was made in 1865 to help farmers hedge their corn harvests. Now S&P500 futures trade $500 billion daily, but it still expires in time for the harvest.

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!

While working at MIT CSAIL, we saw how large language models could help with literature review and even generate new hypotheses. Stanford’s recent study ([Can LLMs Generate Novel Research Ideas?](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.04109))  showed that LLM-generated hypotheses can be more novel than those from domain experts. We saw the same in our own work.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94951&key=user_uploads/2718484/3a420779-570b-4a69-b3ee-628644695a3e)\n\nBut after generating ideas, everything slowed down. We spent hours designing experiments, writing code, debugging compute setups, and rerunning failed jobs that could crash after 12 hours. Even with tools like Cursor that helped us code faster, the overall loop from idea to insight was still painfully manual. Researchers everywhere face this same bottleneck.\n\nSo we asked ourselves: what if the research loop itself could be automated?\n\nSo we built **Sciloop**. It takes a research intent — a question or hypothesis — and automatically designs, runs, and monitors experiments in parallel on our own managed cloud compute. It tracks metrics, analyzes results, recommends next steps, and finally drafts a paper summarizing methods and findings. Sciloop turns days of busywork into hours of progress.\n\nOur goal is simple: **to completely automate scientific discovery**. The next decade will see a century of progress packed into a few years. As AI grows smarter and more accessible, its biggest impact will be speeding up science — finding new cures, discovering better materials, and driving breakthroughs in physics and math.\n\nThat’s our north star. But we’re not waiting for the future. We’re helping ML researchers move faster **right now**, automating the parts of their workflow that slow them down most. Sciloop is already being used in MIT research groups and by early partners working on real ML problems.\n\nIf you’re a company, research lab, or ML team struggling with model performance, experimentation speed, or scaling research, we’d love to work with you. Our goal is to deliver concrete improvements on your research challenges today.\n\n🚀 **The Ask - Let’s Make Research Self-Improving!**\n\nIf you’re working on ML research that could move faster, **book a quick chat** at https://calendly.com/osman-sciloop/30min or email us at [**team@sciloop.dev**](mailto:team@sciloop.dev).\n\nWe help brilliant research ideas stop gathering dust.

Without a uniform description, sellers create information-sparse listings that do not accurately describe what they are selling.\n\nDoomscrolling through generic marketplaces trying to find what you’re looking for has become a rite of passage in the wargaming hobby. Browsing existing marketplaces is like sifting through a junk drawer of mislabeled minis and knock-offs.\n\nThe result? Buyers can’t find what they want and sellers can’t move their inventory.\\\n\\\n**Miniswap’s Solution: One Catalogue to Rule Them All**\n\nWe’re making it easier for buyers and sellers of tabletop gaming products to connect\n\nUsing AI, we’ve built a comprehensive catalogue of every miniature released over the past 25 years -- more than 20,000 of them -- with data on every detail buyers and sellers care about. This gives our users:\n\n* **1) A better buying experience:** gamers can now search for the exact miniature they want, and drill down by the attributes that actually matter to them.\n* **2) A better selling experience:** As a seller, all you need to do is take a photo of your miniature(s) and Miniswap will automatically create an accurate and detail-rich listing for you.\n\nOur high-resolution catalogue also gives us the ability to displace generic online store and inventory management systems like Shopify.\\\n\\\n**The Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95395&key=user_uploads/2363018/d16aca68-46cb-4cf9-9612-09d47a4a77de)\n\nZak’s love of tabletop games spans two decades—he got his first Warhammer kit when he was 6 years old and has been active in the hobby ever since. Before founding Miniswap, Zak was the CTO of Hear Me, a mental health app serving over 100k users. He dropped out of his PhD in computer science at Cambridge to start Miniswap.\n\nBefore founding Miniswap, Will worked as a strategic advisor to the CEOs of some of the world’s largest companies, including Bridgewater Associates and Pfizer. He has advanced degrees in economics and philosophy from McGill and Cambridge. He dropped out of law school at McGill to move to found Miniswap.\n\nWill and Zak were roommates while studying at Cambridge where they immediately bonded over their shared love for tabletop games and early-modern history. They have been best friends ever since.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95395&key=user_uploads/2363018/5512bb1e-405a-4de0-acf7-437b2d56a631)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Ood-miniswap-the-marketplace-for-tabletop-games", "votes": 32, "created_at": "2025-11-11T01:01:50.193Z" } ] }, { "id": 31259, "name": "Tsenta", "slug": "tsenta", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/c0363e9662e7db43e0292d57332e9650487ebdbb.png", "website": "https://tsenta.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Tsenta is an AI career agent that matches you with jobs, applies automatically, and gets you the best offers on the market.\r\n\r\nWe grew to ~$3M Annualized in three months. \r\n\r\nWe built it after manually applying to over 3,000 jobs ourselves, so that candidates would always have someone on their side.\r\n\r\nToday, more than 90,000+ job seekers trust Tsenta to automate their job search.", "one_liner": "AI career agent that finds matching jobs & applies on your behalf", "team_size": 2, "industry": "Consumer", "subindustry": "Consumer -> Job and Career Services", "launched_at": 1769729252, "tags": [ "Marketplace", "Consumer", "Recruiting", "HR Tech", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2026", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Consumer", "Job and Career Services" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": [ { "question": "How did your company get started?

Even when you do the wiring, you're picking blind: nobody actually knows which search API is better for this query, or which scraper will survive this site. The \"best setup\" frontier moves daily, so keeping up means hours of trawling MCP directories, X threads, and blog posts. Agents stay only as capable as their setup, and the more autonomous they get, the more that ceiling costs.\n\n**What we do:**\n\nYour agent asks for what it needs (\"structured data from this page\", \"research this with citations\"). We route the request to the best provider for that specific task, based on benchmarks on real tasks and outcome feedback from the agents using them: success rates, result quality, latency, and cost. If a provider fails, we cascade to the next, so your agent gets a result instead of an error. Every request makes the routing smarter. One balance pays for all of it, and it's the same MCP whether it's your own coding agent or agents you're shipping in a product.\n\nAPIs are just the start. The same marketplace will let agents acquire skills, hire other agents for specialized tasks, and sign up for software directly through MCPs, all from one balance.\n\n**Our team:**\n\nWe're Frank and Dylan, friends of 10 years who have been building together since middle school. Frank was a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI and interned at Two Sigma, NVIDIA, and Amazon. Dylan was a quant trading intern at UBS, co-authored a NeurIPS paper, and was a grand finalist and 8th-best speaker in the world at WSDC 2022.

Just give us a demo account for your app and a list of prospects, and our agent researches each prospect, uses its own computer to record a tailored workflow in your app with seeded personalized data, then edits and narrates the video so it is ready to send as a link to each prospect.**\n\n**Launch Video:**\n\n\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\n* If you’re a founder or part of a startup that sells software, we can help you give every prospect a tailored product experience while saving your team hours of recording time. Book a demo at [amorphiclabs.com](http://amorphiclabs.com)!\n* If you know any sales or RevOps leaders, we would love introductions or referrals to them.\n\n**The Problem:**\n\nRecording a personalized product demo is one of the clearest ways to communicate your value and show someone how your product solves their problems, but preparing a demo environment, seeding data, and recording a high-quality video for every prospect takes too long. As a result, teams skip personalized demos in situations where they could be highly effective, such as outbound, and spend hours every week creating them for inbound requests and post-call follow-ups. This means teams miss opportunities to show prospects exactly how their product fits their needs, while wasting hours that could have been spent talking to and selling to prospects.\n\n**The Solution:**\n\nWe use AI agents to create personalized product demo videos at scale, bringing tailored demos to parts of the sales process where they were previously too time-consuming to produce. All you need to provide is a demo account for your app and a list of prospects.\n\nOur agent then:\n\n* Learns and interacts with your app on its own computer like a real sales engineer.\n* Researches each prospect to determine which workflow and data best fit their needs.\n* Seeds personalized data in your app.\n* Records itself completing the relevant workflow.\n* Edits the video to remove long waits and adds effects such as zooms.\n* Narrates the video with a script tailored to the prospect.\n* Gives you a finished video link ready to send.\n\nYou remain fully in control of how the videos are created: you can clone your own voice, define the workflows the agent can choose from, control the narration style and how each video begins and ends, and regenerate videos by giving the agent feedback.\n\n**Sample video our agent generated:**\n\n\n\n**Where you can use it:**\n\nTailored Outbound: You can import a list of leads you want to reach out to and ask our agent to create personalized demos for each one, showing prospects exactly how your product fits their needs through data, workflows, and narration tailored directly to them.\n\nQualifying Inbound: Add a request-a-demo form to your landing page so prospects who are not yet convinced enough to spend 30 minutes on a discovery call can spend 20 seconds requesting a personalized demo video and receive an email showing exactly how your product solves their problems.\n\nCall Follow-ups: After understanding a prospect’s key use cases and pain points during a discovery call, you can create multiple personalized demo videos showing how you address their needs. You can even create additional videos tailored to different stakeholders that your champion can use to sell your product internally.\n\nWe are initially focused on sales, but the same technology can also create walkthrough videos for onboarding, customer support, and documentation.\n\n**Our team:**\n\nWe have been best friends for close to a decade, have competed together in competitions spanning math, debate, pitching, business, and hackathons, built countless projects, and are now building Amorphic Labs together.\n\nFrank worked as a software engineer for three years while graduating from UW.

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. That work left me with a deep understanding of consumer habits and marketplace dynamics.\n\n**If you’re looking to transform your marketplace:** Reach out at [jonathan@runpalisade.com](mailto:jonathan@runpalisade.com)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=110474&key=user_uploads/1155886/7772b584-f4ce-425c-93a3-eb36c96aaa46)\n\n2 days before the batch started. run palisade.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Sjq-palisade-personalized-sales-agents-for-online-marketplaces", "votes": 84, "created_at": "2026-08-14T16:00:00.301Z" } ] }, { "id": 32225, "name": "Stoa", "slug": "stoa", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/cf71f2bfca9f3f554d22c43f0dfd7b1a38171535.png", "website": "https://www.stoaexchange.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Stoa provides pricing and trading infrastructure for AI hardware, live with an RFQ marketplace where companies buy and sell GPUs through vetted dealers real-time.", "one_liner": "The market behind AI hardware.", "team_size": 3, "industry": "Fintech", "subindustry": "Fintech", "launched_at": 1785367811, "tags": [ "Fintech", "Hardware", "Marketplace", "Infrastructure", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2026", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Fintech" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/stoa", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2026/stoa.json", "year_founded": 2026, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/stoamarkets/", "x_url": "https://x.com/stoaexchange", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/stoa-d396", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/cf71f2bfca9f3f554d22c43f0dfd7b1a38171535.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Jon Xu", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/jon-xu" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 1961995, "full_name": "Berat Celik", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "CEO of Stoa.

No venue, no price to mark against: lenders mark billions in GPU collateral off appraisals. We're building Stoa, an RFQ marketplace where buyers and sellers get firm quotes within 48 hours, and settled trades build the prices the market can mark, finance, and hedge against.\n\n\n\nGPU deals close in group chats. We know because we've been in them.\n\nA price arrives as a voice note. Someone forwards an inventory list, then it gets forwarded again, and soon three brokers are offering the same machines. Nobody knows who actually owns what or whether any quote is firm.\n\nThe market behind those chats is worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Lenders mark billions in GPU collateral off appraisals, not trades.\n\nWe're Berat, Eren, and Kaan. We're building Stoa.\n\nAI hardware is becoming an asset class, but its market is missing the basics: a venue where hardware can trade, prices that buyers, sellers, and lenders can mark against, and eventually financing and hedging built on those prices. We're starting with the venue: an RFQ marketplace for GPUs. It gets buyers and sellers firm quotes, and every bid and settlement builds the history the rest needs.\n\n**Here's how it works**\n\nPost what you want to buy or sell: B300s, H200s, H100s, a bare card or a full cluster, new or secondary.\n\nVetted dealers bid blind with firm quotes. Instead of spending weeks calling around, you get through the RFQ in 48 hours.\n\nWe handle the unglamorous parts too: KYB and counterparty checks, contracts, shipping, and settlement.\n\nIn our first month, $300M+ in RFQs ran through the book.\n\n**Why the marketplace comes first**\n\nAsk what an H100 is worth and everyone you call gives you a different answer.\n\nOn Stoa, dealers quote against the same RFQ without seeing each other's bids. Because every RFQ, firm quote, award, and settlement runs through us, we see what the hardware actually trades for.\n\nA quote is an opinion. A settled trade is a receipt.\n\nThat transaction history becomes prices buyers, sellers, and lenders can mark against. Once marks are grounded in settled trades, financing and hedging can follow.\n\nPlatts started printing oil prices in a magazine. Kelley Blue Book began as one dealer's published list of what he'd pay for cars. GPU inventory is still being passed around in forwarded spreadsheets, and Blackwell upgrades are now pushing H100 fleets into the secondary market.\n\nSomeone is going to be the price.\n\n**The team**\n\nWe've known each other for more than ten years.

You describe a thesis, a strategy, or a view of the world in plain English, and Volaren's AI analysts do the research, build it, and backtest it for you. Try it at .\n\nDEMO: \n\n**The problem**\n\nInstitutions turn a view of the world into real positions using teams of analysts and expensive tooling like Bloomberg and Capital IQ. Everyone else does it by hand, or does not do it at all. The data and the methods already exist, but nobody had built the product that puts them in the hands of small teams and active retailers investing their own money.\n\n**What Volaren does**\n\nYou tell Volaren a thesis, a strategy, or a view of the world in plain English, and its agents go do the research for you. They handle all the heavy lifting of the analysis, and they build it and backtest it across both fundamental work (models, comps, thesis building) and quantitative strategies (momentum, style factors, custom rules). You can delegate as much as you want and expand how much you take on, so you grow from a single investor or small team fund into an entire research team. You see every step and can change anything, so the judgment stays yours, and your work stays with you in one place you can keep building on.\n\n**Who we are**\n\nWe are Martin Pestana and Akshat Mittal, and we ran this exact process on the inside at Goldman Sachs and AQR. Volaren exists to give a person with real conviction and a real portfolio the leverage of a full research team.\n\n**Our ask**\n\nIf you invest your own money, run a small fund, or you know someone who does, try Volaren at .
