Optic의 사업 내용

We help developers collaborate at scale and build better APIs. Optic’s open source tools makes it easy for developers to document API changes, review each other’s API changes during code review, and catch breaking changes before they reach production. **tl;dr** It’s version control but for behavior not code. We are taking the really successful ideas from Git / Code Review / CI and applying them to API descriptions and (future) other non-code artifacts. Engineers at [Snyk]( use Optic daily to make the new Snyk API great. Read their engineering blog: [Snyk's shift left approach to API development | Snyk](

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Making APIs Developer-friendly

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

We build open source tools that help developers document, review, and manage API changes. Our product works like version control for APIs - it lets teams catch breaking changes before they hit production and collaborate on API design in a way similar to code review and CI workflows.

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

We are based in New York, NY with a remote team scattered elsewhere, and after YC we would continue to be based here to stay close to our current network and talent pool.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because we're rooted here, have local users and developer communities, and the team works well together remotely, so staying here suits both the product and team.

자주 묻는 질문

Optic의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Optic의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Optic과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
