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 are building software engineering agents and code generation tools aimed at general users, based on the premise that demand for software far exceeds the available talent to build it. They see enabling non-developers to write code as a way to address that gap.
- What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
- The founders' long-term goal is to make coding accessible to everyone and to expand the number of software development jobs by an estimated 10-20 million.
