Good ideas, better timing — learn from 2,000+ startup stories
A searchable library of over 2,234 startup reports with status labels such as Acquired, Inactive and Active, organised by YC batch and industry.
Each featured company comes with practical build plans and prototypes that turn the historical lesson into a concrete project you can start.
Pro members unlock implementation-ready specifications that describe how to actually build the product, not just what the original team did.
Ask questions about any report or build plan and get answers drawn from the archive, rather than reading every page manually.
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
