Swif is a one-stop solution for device management and security. I have built companies with $10m in revenue and managed 50-person teams in my last startup.
Hear from the founders
How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
We have 10 people on the team. I was the co-founder of LeadIQ, the leading sales intelligence platform. I managed a fast-growing team of 50 remote employees and onboarded everyone while creating a platform that handled millions of dollars every year. Mert is the CTO and he has over 10 years of experience building device security. Mert and I have both experienced issues of device security and Mert was building a similar solution for the past 5 years. Jeremy is our sales. He was a former YC founder and recently joined us to drive our sales. He used to host virtual YC demo days.
How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?
Our batch mentor guided us on product iteration and helped us with pitch practices. We genuinely appreciate Tim, Aaron, and Kevin’s mentorship to help us grow!
How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?
We worked with many YC companies to help with their device management and compliance needs. We also launched our own YC deal to help new YC batch companies can quickly ramp up their remote device management.
What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?
In 2022, we discovered the power of ChatGPT and realized that we can leverage its platform to simplify device management and remote employee management. This was the pivot point of our product.
What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
In my last startup LeadIQ, I managed 2 remote teams in the US and Singapore. It was really painful to manage devices and cloud app access for employees in different locations. We wanted a better understanding of company devices and employee’s cloud app access, and we used a giant Excel sheet to solve this problem, only to find that the solution can not scale. We took time to find solutions to set up, configure, and then discover that the capabilities of each solution were incomplete or buggy. Companies were wasting money and time. The challenges were real, painful and increased company risks. Employee onboarding and offboarding were a nightmare.\That’s why we started building Swif.
What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
We believe remote work is a micro trend and will continue to develop in the coming decades. We aim to build a remote work infrastructure powered by AI for every company. If we genuinely succeed, onboarding a remote employee under one platform will be effective and secure.
