Alumni Q&A

What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?

The founders observe that non-engineering product changes such as copy edits, pricing updates, or business logic tweaks typically stall behind engineering sprints, with PMs filing tickets and waiting weeks. They note that coding agents sped up engineers but not the rest of the product team, while tools aimed at non-technical builders only create new prototypes rather than modifying existing products. The three founders encountered the problem from different angles: Ben as an investor and former PM at SEA Group, Heng Hong from inside engineering, and Benedict from infrastructure.

What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?

The founders aim for everyone at a company, not only engineers, to be able to ship product changes, reducing engineering backlogs to a review queue where aggregated review comments feed back to an agent that self-corrects before an engineer intervenes. They compare the intended shift to how spreadsheets opened data work to non-finance staff and how Canva opened design to non-designers, with engineers focusing on architecture and harder problems.
