Freestyle
New accelerator entry · 2024-06-23 · the record
In their words
Ben and Jacob met in Calculus class in 10th grade, and tried founding a startup in high school — it didn’t go anywhere. During high school, Ben lead the frontend team for the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 App Team. After high school, Jacob went to Apple and Ben went to college. When there was an opening on his team, Jacob had Ben apply, and Ben left UChicago to go work at Apple. They spent about 2 years at Apple as Senior Engineers in the Conversational Engineering Department, before leaving to found Freestyle. Freestyle is directly inspired by what they saw as their failures of the tech they worked with at Apple.

Is this you?
If you're behind Freestyle: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
