This Makes Engineers Run Screaming. So We Built A Business To Solve It

Christina Cacioppo is the co-founder and CEO of Vanta (https://vanta.com). Hahnbee Lee is the co-founder and CTO of Mintlify (https://mintlify.com). They spoke with Supabase co-founder and CTO Ant Wilson at Supabase Select 2025. Christina Cacioppo (CEO of Vanta) and Hai Hoang (CTO of Mintlify) share their journeys from YC to scaling their startups. Christina explains how a “brutalist white website” that was objectively terrible got people to pay $10,000 within a week. Hai reveals how seven different pivots led to the documentation company now serving 20% of every YC batch. In this conversation, they reveal the exact moment you know you have product market fit (“Send me the Stripe link”), why you should round down any wonder about PMF, and how product market fit feels like chasing a boulder down a hill instead of pushing one up. They spoke with Supabase co-founder Paul Copplestone at Supabase Select 2025.
