One thing I noticed while working as a founding engineer at two YC-backed startups was that product decisions were rarely documented in one place.
Customer requests came through Slack, support tickets, sales calls, and interviews. Every time a new request appeared, the team had to mentally process the same questions:
Is this a real customer problem or just a symptom?
Alera is Decision Intelligence for product owners that connects strategy, decisions, planning, execution, and results in one system. Instead of context scattered across Slack, Jira, GitHub, and docs, Alera creates a structured Product Brain that understands your product decisions, PRDs, features, and feedback. Teams can analyze competitors, generate PRDs, track product health, and ask context-aware questions in one place.
If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.
YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.
