01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Ecliptor is a San Francisco AI sales platform for developer-tools companies, founded in 2023 by former Twitch ML engineers Andre Fu (CEO) and Nanki Grewal (CTO). It unifies and de-anonymizes developer profiles across touchpoints like GitHub, LinkedIn, and Twitter, integrates that data with product usage, and uses AI to surface highly engaged 'product champions' — giving devtool companies visibility into the buying journey of potential enterprise customers and helping them convert free-tier users into enterprise deals. The company joined Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch.
