We're still buzzing with excitement from our recent adventure at Y Combinator's Startup School in London, where our very own Serj Hunt represented Chipp. You know us – we're all about learning and growing together, so we couldn't wait to share insights from our time with some of the brightest minds in the startup world.

1. Small But Mighty: Standing Out in the AI Space

‍

Here's something we've learned being in the AI space – it's crowded! Really crowded. But you know what? That's exactly why we need to be boldly ourselves. During YC Startup School, this really hit home for us. Being a smaller player like Chipp means we can't just blend into the background of AI companies. We need to create those "us and them" moments that help our community understand exactly what makes us different.

‍

And what makes us different? We're the folks who believe AI should be for everyone, not just the tech experts. While others are competing on technical specs, we're here building relationships, teaching, and making AI feel like a friendly tool rather than a mysterious black box.

2. Ship It, Shape It: The Power of Starting Simple

‍

You're going to love this story – during the sessions, we learned about Monzo, now a massive UK digital bank. Want to know something wild? They launched without basic banking features like sending money to other people. A bank. Without money transfers. And guess what? Hundreds of thousands of people still jumped on board!

‍

This really validates what we've been doing at Chipp. When we launch something new (and you know we love shipping new features! 🚀), we get it into your hands fast. Why? Because your feedback shapes what we build. It's like having thousands of co-builders helping us create exactly what you need.

3. The Love Factor: Building Something Worth Talking About

‍

This one's our favorite – and it hits close to home. During YC, they asked us to imagine someone pulling out our product while standing in line and showing it to others. What would make them do that? What would they say?

‍

We get goosebumps every time we hear you all use the word "love" when talking about Chipp. Seriously, it makes our day! Whether it's someone discovering they can build their first AI app without coding, or a team celebrating how much time they're saving – these are the moments we live for.

‍

What's Next for Chipp?

‍

We've been shipping features like there's no tomorrow, but now we're taking a breath to strengthen our foundation. Think of it like tuning up your car before a long road trip – we want to make sure everything's running smoothly before our next big adventure.

‍

Our mission hasn't changed one bit – we're still laser-focused on being the easiest private, AI no-code builder and team workspace that saves you hours each week. We're just making sure every piece of that puzzle fits perfectly.

‍

Ready to join us on this journey? We'd love to have you in our community! Whether you're just AI-curious or ready to build your first app, we're here to help you do what matters. 🙌
