Tiptap
Open-source document editor for humans and AI agents
We build a modular, open-source editor framework used by developers to create rich text editing and real-time collaboration features like Notion or Google Docs. Tiptap handles complex editing interactions and integrates AI agents to help users write and collaborate more effectively.
We live and work in Berlin, Germany. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here.
Berlin is where all founders live and work. It's where our engineering team is based and where we've built our community of users and contributors. Moving would disrupt our momentum.
