Weave's Application Video for YC W14
5 segments available
Today, Weave, which was part of YC’s W14 batch, is going public. This is their YC application video from 2014. When Weave applied to YC, they supplied dentists with an all-in-one customer communications and management system. But their vision was always a larger one. Today, the company still supports dental offices, but also optometrists, vets, and other medical offices with similar capabilities. Tens of thousands of professional offices around the United States and Canada run their businesses using Weave. Read about their journey at https://blog.ycombinator.com/weave-w14-is-going-public/.
