The Git forge for the next hundred billion commits

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building GitCafe, a GitHub-like platform rebuilt for agents and the next scale of engineering work. We started by rebuilding core git infrastructure and CI to handle the next hundred billion commits, in a way that works for both traditional engineers and autonomous agents. Hundreds of engineers are already moving their work to GitCafe. Our bet is that as the volume and type of code changes shifts, current developer platforms aren't keeping up.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're based in San Francisco, CA and will stay here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the other infrastructure founders, developer tool companies, and early users who care about the future of code. We want to be close to that network.
