About
Type is a New York-based AI-native document editor — backed by Y Combinator (W23) with $3.3 million raised from YC, Goodwater Capital, Rogue Capital, Ascend, and Cervin Ventures — providing an AI-first writing environment where document creation, research, and editing are natively integrated with AI generation, eliminating the workflow of switching between a document editor and a separate AI chat tool. Founded in 2022 and achieving $2 million in revenue by June 2024, Type targets knowledge workers, content creators, and teams who need AI assistance throughout the writing process rather than as a bolt-on.
