Julep AI

The next YC application is due in 6 days. We applied to YC 5 times. The first 4 were with Julep. We got 2 interviews, had revenue, and at one point were close to $400K ARR. We still didn’t get in. Since we announced we're doing YC with Memory Store this batch, a lot of founders reached out asking what changed this time. So I wrote about it: - why ARR was not enough - how we treated the application like a product - why user insights mattered most - what I’d tell repeat applicants The biggest lesson for me: the application got better when the company got sharper. Not because we found the perfect wording, but because we had clearer answers to who we were building for, what we had learned, why Memory Store needed to exist, and why now. I hope this is useful for founders applying this batch. P.S. If you’re a female founder applying this batch and want another pair of eyes on your application, please reach out. I’d be happy to help where I can.

Soo proud of the team - we're in Y Combinator!!!! When building memory for julep, we realized memory as a dev tool for each agent is not the bottle neck. A shared memory for teams, that can be then fed to any agent is what's needed. That's what the team is building with Memory Store (YC P26)!!! Julep is still fully open source.

We've been working on something new! Your team's real-time conversations hold more institutional context than any wiki or document. Decisions get made in Slack threads. Architecture gets debated in channels. Onboarding context lives in customer channels. All of that knowledge is ephemeral. It fades into infinite scroll, unreachable by search, invisible to your agents. We've been working on shared team memory that connects directly to where your team already communicates. Daily sync. Cross-tool context. Your agents sharing the same memory as your team. Zero manual effort. Always up to date. Follow Memory store for more updates.
