Stripe-like API Docs in just a few clicks

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

We build a platform that generates API documentation that looks and feels like Stripe's, using AI to do it in seconds. Instead of hand-crafting docs, developers and product teams input their API specs and get clean, usable docs instantly. It solves how painful and slow API documentation creation usually is.

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

We live and work across San Francisco and Seattle. Post-YC, we plan to remain distributed but primarily base the company in San Francisco to stay close to the core tech ecosystem and our current team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco and Seattle because that's where both founders are based. Maintaining those locations helps us stay close to our early customers and recruiting pools, balancing West Coast time zones and tech hubs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Theneo YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Theneo's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Theneo would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
