Prized is a cloud development environment that feels local on your Mac.
Developers get a dedicated, persistent machine with their repos, dependencies, and tools already configured.
Files sync into a real local folder, remote ports appear on localhost, and terminals persist through tmux, so developers and coding agents can keep working even after the laptop closes.
Machines can be resized or cloned as workloads grow, without rebuilding the development environment.
What the site is built with
Next.jsframeworkVercelhosting
Read from the page's own HTML and response headers on 10 September 2026, at https://prized.dev/. Each badge matched a string the site serves about itself — hover one to see which. Nothing here is a traffic, ranking or revenue figure: those cannot be read off a page and are not claimed.
Checked away from the directory entry. Neither line below comes from the company's Y Combinator page.
Prized is an always-on dev box that feels like localhost. Two-way sync, ports mirrored to localhost, sessions that never die. Seven sizes, plans from $10 a month, billed by the hour.
The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
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. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

Is this you?
If you're behind Prized: 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. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
