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.
