Berlin YC S23 open-source collaborative editor toolkit at $2.3M revenue 2024 with 1.8M npm downloads/month; $2.6M Expa/YC seed serving LinkedIn/GitLab/Anthropic competing with Liveblocks for developer collaborative editing infrastructure.
Tiptap is a Berlin, Germany-based developer toolkit company — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with $2.6 million in seed funding in October 2023 led by Expa with Y Combinator and angels Dennis Just, Radu Spineanu, and Liz Wessel — providing developers and product teams with an open-source framework and cloud platform for building collaborative rich-text editing experiences (like Notion, Google Docs, or Confluence) into web applications, achieving $2.3 million in revenue in 2024 with a 15-person team and 1.8 million npm downloads per month. Serving customers including LinkedIn, GitLab, Axios, and Anthropic, Tiptap's open-source editor (built on ProseMirror) provides the content editing and real-time collaboration infrastructure that application teams need without building text editing technology from scratch. Founded in 2023 by Philip Isik, Nick Hirche, Sebastian Schrama, Sven Adlung, Timo Isik, and Patrick Baber.
Serverless GPU cloud platform for AI/ML with Python-native deployment and per-second billing; developer-favorite scaling from zero competing with Replicate and Beam for AI compute.
Modal is a serverless cloud computing platform purpose-built for AI and machine learning workloads — providing on-demand GPU compute that scales instantly from zero with per-second billing, container management, distributed training support, and a Python-native developer experience that makes running ML workloads in the cloud feel as simple as running code locally. Founded in 2021 in New York City and backed by Redpoint Ventures and other investors, Modal has grown rapidly as AI development has accelerated demand for flexible, developer-friendly GPU infrastructure.\n\nModal's developer experience is its primary differentiator — engineers write Python functions decorated with @modal.function() and deploy them to the cloud with a single command, with Modal handling container building, GPU provisioning, auto-scaling, and execution. The platform supports training jobs that need distributed compute across multiple GPUs, model serving endpoints that scale to zero when unused (eliminating idle GPU costs), and batch inference jobs that process large datasets. The per-second billing model means developers pay only for actual compute time, not provisioned instances.\n\nIn 2025, Modal competes in the AI infrastructure market with Replicate, Beam, Banana, and major cloud providers' managed ML services (AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML) for serverless GPU compute. The market for AI-specific cloud infrastructure has grown dramatically as the number of ML engineers deploying models to production has expanded — traditional cloud providers require significant DevOps expertise to use GPU instances effectively, while Modal's Python-native approach reduces the barrier to entry. Modal has attracted a strong developer following among AI researchers and ML engineers building production AI applications. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the developer community, adding enterprise features (dedicated GPU capacity, private networking, compliance), and expanding the hardware options available (H100 GPUs, custom accelerators).
