# Nixo

> Nixo is an operations platform built for forward deployed engineers (FDEs) - the people who embed with customers to make software actually work in production. It pulls context from Slack, GitHub, Linear, and CRMs and reorganizes it around real FDE work, so teams can scope customer problems faster, reuse past code and fixes, and see workload across every account. Founded in 2025 by Stanford classmates Priya Khandelwal and Priti Rangnekar, Nixo went through Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch.
