Alumni Q&A
- How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
- The two founders, Anushka and Sneha, met during their freshman year at Yale and conducted research on web agents at the Yale NLP Lab. Sneha previously worked in growth at Figma, and Anushka worked on code generation at DeepMind. The idea grew out of their own experience neglecting testing on past projects.
Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
