Panora (YC S24)

APIs and AI assistants for warehouse operators

[Julia Turc @juliarturc]

One thing I love about my YC batch is that, with frequency of > 1 a day, I learn about a new project and my first reaction is "I was literally looking for that yesterday".

Our friends at @panoradotdev are building an open-source unified API that allows you to pour any external data into your LLMs. You can chat with their repo on Code Sage.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

YC S24’s @panoradotdev is the universal API for the enterprise stack. Ship agents that can interact with any SaaS platform and leverage the data inside them.

Congrats on the launch, @naelbc and @rflih_!

90% of SaaS is just building integrations

Being open-source means making it easy to self-hosted software. We just made ready-to-use docker images so our community can skip the configuration ❤️

Responsible development and use of Open Source projects and software have changed the world and propelled science and technology in public and private sectors, benefitting developers, researchers, students, entrepreneurs, businesses, etc - Human Genome, Linux, ImageNet, PyTorch, and much more!

❌ open source alternative
✅ open source successor

@patsullyyy @boristane A lot of our users also had nightmares with this API, that's why we're there ;)

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

@yongfook Open-Source companies like @documenso, @unkeydev @twentycrm are breaking this cycle!

Until an Open-Source alternative to that SaaS comes in the room and eats everything

[Jon Yongfook @yongfook]

The circle of SaaS life:

- incumbent product raises prices
- price sensitive customers look to switch
- low price competitor appears, users jump ship
- low price competitor grows fast but then stalls
- raises prices
- go to step 1 🤪

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

@yongfook Adding the right integrations is the first step to land your product in enterprise customers hands.

Spoiler: we’re building something open-source to help you achieve that 😎

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

@mylordcod @EricRichards22 Hey, we’re building an OSS alternative to this.

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

@EricRichards22 Hey Eric, we're an open-source product solving this issue. Happy to chat in DM!

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

Hey SaaS folks!

Ever wished your SaaS could easily integrate with to the tools your customers use?
We're building a cool open-source tool that handles it for you. Saves time and hassle.

Curious? Check our github or DM us!

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

Every open-source project should add @Codeseeio to its repository. Easiest way to give potential contributors an overview of the codebase!

Let’s build 👷

[Panora (YC S24) @getpanora]

Open-sourcing can help you win on:

- security: through codebase transparency
- go-to-market: get into your ideal customer’s stack before they can afford to pay your competitors product
- extensibility: contributors adding connectors or long-tail features

Should you make your startup open source? 🤖

Reasons for yes? 🙂
Reasons for no? 🙃

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

Open-source is the ultimate disruptive business model. This is why so many people are running at politicians trying to create regulatory capture. They are appropriately fearful of fighting open-source on a level playing field. https://t.co/eTiovrmrf2
