Result (YC P26)
Result (YC P26) is an operating system for internet entrepreneurs. In one place a founder can incorporate, open accounts, take payments, build and launch a product, and run the day-to-day work of the business - marketing, support, content, and growth - with AI agents doing the work alongside them. The company is built for the 1-to-3-person teams of the post-work economy and was founded by teenage repeat builders Aaryan Kushwah and Savio Martin.
Product Hunt
Product Hunt is a community-driven website where makers launch new products and the internet votes on them, surfacing a daily leaderboard of the most interesting tech, apps, and AI tools. Founded in 2013 by Ryan Hoover and now led by CEO Rajiv Ayyangar, it has become the default starting line for startup launches, helping millions discover and rank software, hardware, games, and side projects.
Courtland Allen
Courtland Allen is the co-founder of Indie Hackers, a community and media platform where entrepreneurs share transparent revenue numbers and business strategies. He built the site in 2016, sold it to Stripe in 2017 — Stripe's first notable acquisition — and bought it back in 2023 on its exact 6th acquisition anniversary. A MIT CS grad who failed six startups before hitting on his seventh, Allen has become one of the internet's most trusted voices on bootstrapping and sustainable entrepreneurship.
