01 / WHAT IT BUILT

What the company did

Tipe was a San Francisco developer-tools startup from Y Combinator's Winter 2018 batch. It built an open-source, customizable headless CMS that let teams edit, preview and publish content for their apps: developers could turn static text into dynamic content in minutes, and non-technical teammates — marketing, product — could then change copy themselves without filing tickets with engineering.
