Building Something New 🥳

We *love* bragging about founders & startups, and we want to make it easier for everyone to build in public & showcase all of the awesome stuff they're working on.

Think of this as your Ship Button 🚢 or your Launch Button 🚀. This is your public bulletin board, your fan club.

Did you just...
🎁 Release a new feature or bug-fix?
👀 Buy a new domain?
💌 Launch a new campaign?
🙌 Announce a new role on your team?
💸 Raise a new round of funding?
🥳 Even start an entire company?

Whatever it is, no matter how big or small, we want to help spread the word on what you've been building and brag about you to everyone. It doesn't have to be a tool that’s a part of your startup — you should share even if it's a side-project that's not for a company!

Yes, all you have to do is press that fun 'I Have An Announcement!' button and fill out the form. The policy is: anything that can be tweeted (announcements, updates, product launches, design changes, hiring or funding shoutouts, etc.) can be turned into free marketing for you!

New announcements will be posted here in daily cycles for the whole world to see 🌎.

Or You Can Always Email Us Your Announcements (Whatever Is Easier)

Stytch

Announcing our seed round

We started Stytch to build the future of user infrastructure, starting with authentication, and we’re thrilled to share a milestone on that journey. We raised a $6 million seed round led by Benchmark in the summer of 2020. We’re excited to be working with Chetan Puttagunta, who’s joined our Board of Directors. Index Ventures participated in the round, along with angels including William Hockey, Dylan Field, Mahmoud Abdelkader, Elad Gil, Amber Feng, Lenny Rachitsky, and Jeff Morris Jr. Authentication is a frustrating experience for both developers and users, and we're changing that. While working together at Plaid, we witnessed the security and user experience shortcomings of password-based authentication. To solve this, Stytch is building the developer platform for authentication to enable teams to easily build experiences that delight their users.
