Company Description

Lightsprint is a product agent designed to let non-engineering teammates ship real features to an existing codebase. PMs, designers and founders describe what they want in plain English. Lightsprint reads the codebase, presents trade-offs and visual options styled to the actual app, generates a live preview, and ships a real pull request. It also closes the product loop - connect tools like Granola to surface insights from customer conversations, so our product agent builds what customers actually need. The company is founded by Ben Ong, an AI investor who previously scaled AI products at SEA Group (NYSE: SE) and Temasek ($300B fund), Benedict Chan who was VP Engineering at Chainlink and CTO at BitGo (NYSE:BTGO), and Heng Hong Lee who built Facebook Messenger in 2013 and was Director of Engineering at Fazz (YC S17).
