01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Xkit (xkit.co) was a San Francisco developer-tools startup founded by Trey Griffith — previously the founder of Sparkswap, a Lightning Network decentralized exchange that shut down in March 2020. Xkit offered a single API letting SaaS companies embed integrations with 20+ third-party services (Slack, GitHub, Salesforce, Asana, Monday.com), handling OAuth2 and API-key authorization so developers could ship integrations faster. It launched publicly on Product Hunt in January 2021.
