Armenian-founded YC grad Modelence Announced a $3M Seed Round

Source: TechCruch, Aram Shatakhtsyan's LinkedIn Post

As AI tools democratize software creation, more non-technical users are building apps. But while LLMs speed up coding, hosting, security, and DevOps complexity haven’t gone away. Modelence, a Y Combinator Summer batch startup, is tackling exactly this gap.

The startup raised a $3M seed round, led by Y Combinator, with participation from Rebel Fund, Acacia Venture Capital Partners, Formosa VC, and Vocal Ventures.

Founded by Aram Shatakhtsyan and Eduard Piliposyan, Modelence is building an all-in-one framework that handles: Authentication; Databases; Hosting; LLM observability and an integrated app builder.

Congrats to the startup on this achievement πŸŽ‰
