We're on a mission to empower builders.
Massive reach: Our docs platform serves 100 million+ developers every year and powers documentation for 10,000+ companies, including Anthropic, Cursor, PayPal, Coinbase, X, and over 20% of the last YC batch.
Small team, huge impact: We’re only 28 people today, backed by $22 million in funding, each new hire shapes the company’s trajectory.
Culture of slope over y-intercept: We value learning velocity, grit, and unapologetically unique personalities.
We grew in value faster than headcount and we’re looking to align the two quickly.
