"There's an obvious business opportunity in solving that problem, but with the system changing so quickly, it's hard to know how to grab hold of it. One of the more interesting answers comes from Modelence, a Y Combinator startup from this summer's batch that announced on Wednesday it raised $13 million seed round. Y Combinator led the round, with participation from Rebel Fund, Acacia Venture Capital Partners, Formosa VC and Vocal Ventures."
"Modelence isn't the only company going after this sector. Giants like Google and Amazon as well as smaller startups like Shuttle are all trying to solve the infrastructure issue.California-based Modelence stands out for how its diagnosing the problem. For CEO Aram Shatakhtsyan, the issue isn't individual services; it's the connections between them. "You don't want to ask AI to go build authentication and then set up a database and then connect them together, because it's very likely to break," Shatakhtsyan told TechCrunch in a recent interview."
As AI tools democratize software engineering, many new users build their own apps while hosting, security, and devops challenges persist. There is a business opportunity in solving infrastructure and integration friction. Modelence raised a $13 million seed round led by Y Combinator with participation from Rebel Fund, Acacia Venture Capital Partners, Formosa VC and Vocal Ventures. Modelence frames the core problem as connections between services rather than individual providers. The company offers an all-in-one Typescript framework that handles authentication, databases, hosting, LLM observability tools and an app-builder. Larger cloud providers and startups like Shuttle also target similar infrastructure problems.
