London YC W20 developer productivity launcher at $47.8M total ($30M Atomico Series B Sep 2024); hundreds of thousands of daily active users on Mac with Windows/iOS expansion competing with Alfred for keyboard-driven developer workflow automation.
Raycast is a London, UK-based developer productivity and application launcher — backed by Y Combinator (W20) with $47.8 million in total funding including a $30 million Series B in September 2024 led by Atomico with Accel, Coatue, Atlassian Ventures, and angels including the CEOs of Vercel, GitHub, and Shopify — providing engineers and knowledge workers with a keyboard-driven command interface for macOS (with Windows and iOS expansion underway) that centralizes access to applications, workflows, clipboard history, custom scripts, and integrations with developer tools (GitHub, Jira, Slack, Linear, Figma) through a single launcher, serving hundreds of thousands of daily active users on a freemium model. Founded by Thomas Mann, Raycast positions as the productivity multiplier that reduces the context-switching overhead that consumes up to 50% of a developer's day on non-coding tasks.
Open-source offline-first API client with git-native Bru file storage; solo-founded, declined 8 VC offers, competing with Postman and Insomnia for developers seeking privacy-respecting local API testing tooling.
Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
