YC's Sales Agreement as an API
YC has been gracious enough to share publicly their standard YC Template Sales Agreement[0]. But because it's in Microsoft Word format, it was hard to integrate into our sales process and CRM. So we turned all the decision points and notes in that document into an API that we wired up to our customer development pipeline so we could generate the doc and get it e-signed in one step.

YC's Sales Agreement as an API launched on February 21, 2023 with 10 votes, #1,409 of 3,829 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
YC's Sales Agreement as an API converts Y Combinator's public template sales agreement into an API-accessible format. Rather than working with a static Word document, users can integrate the agreement's decision points into their sales process and CRM to automatically generate customized contracts and route them for e-signature. It is designed for sales teams and developers who need to streamline contract generation and signing workflows.

Several years ago, I had a client whose salespeople were using Excel to generate sales proposals. This was inefficient and the resulting documents looked awful, so I developed a new process for them using a no-code platform. It featured a web form that was tied to a workflow engine, and a fancy PDF got emailed to the customer to sign. When the client loved the solution, I knew I was on to something. However, the no-code platform wasn't very customizable, so I decided to rebuild the process as a SaaS product. The client's CTO wanted in and we became cofounders. Today, we passed the…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
