Mantle
New accelerator entry · 2026-09-23 · the record
In their words
Mantle is a full-stack field service company that deploys, fixes and maintains machines for the companies that build them. We're not a marketplace or software tool, we own uptime directly to provide better, more reliable service without burdening your engineers on support calls. $500B+ a year is spent to keep machines running in the US, we're coming for all of it.
What the record says
Checked away from the directory entry. What is below does not come from the company's Y Combinator page.
Counted only where a thread links to this company's own site, announces it by name on that forum, or names it beside its own Y Combinator batch. A thread whose title merely carries the words is not counted — a name is not an identifier. More may exist than the one page of results read here. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.

Is this you?
If you're behind Mantle: 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.
