I got into YC S26 as a solo founder!
The last 15 months looked something like this:
> Started an API company from scratch
> Realized building infrastructure is insanely hard
> Grew slowly for months
> Then all at once
> Reached 210 paying customers
> Landed 10 unicorns + 70 VC-backed startups
> Started telling customers "not yet" because I couldn't afford to build everything they wanted
> Wait, I actually need funding
> Applied to YC
> Rejected
> Doubled revenue
> Applied again
Today I'm in.
To all my customers who trusted me when I was just some random dude from the internet, thank you.

And thanks @marckohlbrugge for the quick help on the upload api issue I had ๐๐
More soon!
To address extreme levels of productivity & increased speed of shipping, weโve applied the following temporary limits:
- Paid accounts are limited to completing 6000 todos/day
- Free accounts to 600 todos/day
- New free accounts to 300/day
I built a @zapier integration for @wip this week. So now whenever you create or complete a todo, you can have it trigger a number of automations. ๐ช
E.g. automatically tweet your project updates, add your progress to a blogpost draft to keep a changelog, etc.
