Garrett Frohman

Yo, have you heard of Garrett Frohman? This guy’s the real deal in the startup scene. He jumped into YC in S22 with Firecrawl, but what really makes him stand out is his hustle around developer tools and making life easier for coders.

So, Garrett’s been all about tech that actually helps devs do their thing faster and smarter. He co-founded Mendable, which is basically a chat-powered search tool for dev docs. Like, imagine you’re deep into some documentation, and instead of wasting time digging around, you just ask Mendable anything. It uses those crazy large language models (LLMs) – the same tech behind ChatGPT – to give you custom answers, with links straight to the sources. Super slick. You can embed this thing anywhere – docs, apps, Slack, Discord, whatever. It’s all about making developer experience way smoother, cutting down onboarding time, and easing support loads.

What I love about Garrett is, he’s not just building some random tool. He’s solving a real problem that every dev faces: how to find info fast without jumping through hoops. It’s like he’s on a mission to crush all that bullshit around slow documentation and support. And he’s doing it with AI, which is so on point right now.

You can tell he’s super passionate about making tools that actually matter, that help people do their jobs better. His background with Firecrawl and now Mendable shows he’s all about pushing tech forward, making products that are embedded, accessible, and practical. That’s the kind of founder who’s not just chasing the next shiny thing but genuinely trying to change how devs work every day.

Bottom line? Garrett Frohman is one of those guys who saw a problem, jumped into YC, and is now building something that could really change the game for developers everywhere. No cap, he’s one to watch.
