Weave (YC W25)

Results are in! We ran a contest to find the most productive Y Combinator founder engineers and the results were insane. While juggling fundraising, customer support, sales, and trying to find product-market fit, these 10 cracked engineers shipped more code than some entire teams: 1. Dylan @ emojis.com (YC W25)(watch out Canva ??) 2. Andrew @ Weave (YC W25) (home cooking??) 3. Max @ Scout (edtech ?? ) 4. Pablo @ awen (I guess rebuilding Photoshop is hard?) 5. Noah @ Scout (Scout domination is real!) 6. Simon @ assistant-ui (YC W25) (the only solo founder on this list. Absolutely crazy ?? ) 7. Alexander @ Mentra (smart glasses cult represent!) 8. Joshua @ TamLabs (YC W25) (and Microsoft Word is much better for it) 9. Gregor @ Browser Use (I guess competing with OpenAI is no easy task) 10. Alexander @ Trata (YC W25) (hedge funds going crazy) How did we measure this? At Weave, we've developed advanced ML models combined with LLMs to measure true engineering impact - going far beyond simple metrics like lines of code or commit counts. We're launching our *April* contest and looking for the next wave of exceptional founder-engineers. If you're a technical founder pushing the boundaries of what's possible, or know someone who is, this is your chance to be recognized. Drop a comment or DM me to nominate yourself or another founder who deserves to be on next month's list. Let's celebrate the builders who are shaping the future of tech, one commit at a time.

San Francisco is home to the most productive engineers in the world. SF engineers do 13.9 months of work in a year. Here are the fastest building cities, according to our data at Weave. As a proud Canadian, I know we can catch up but maybe Y Combinator has a point.

We sneaked into Weave (YC W25) engineering productivity competition for YC W25 companies and secured three spots in the Top 10! No one asked, but here’s the proof that we’re putting in the work. I bet no one can beat us! Every engineering team should try Weave (YC W25) to track performance and project delivery — it’s way better than GitHub analysis/insights!

Weave (YC W25) is an AI agent that gives engineering leaders X-ray vision into their teams. Unlike broken metrics like lines of code or number of commits, Weave actually understands the work engineers do. By combining LLMs and domain-specific ML, they found a way to accurately quantify both output and quality. All this new data gives engineering leaders superpowers. They can find what’s working well and replicate it. They can see where engineers are spending time and getting blocked. They can figure out what’s broken and fix it before it’s too late. Founders Adam Cohen and Andrew Churchill are on a mission to 10x every engineering team. From their experience building high-growth startups to running 100-person orgs, they’ve seen time and again how powerful real data is in creating high-performance teams. Congrats to the team on the launch! ?? https://lnkd.in/gafW2GPn
