never get tired of hearing these guys talk /s
Weave (W25) helps engineering teams understand whether their AI coding tools are actually making them more productive. Its models measure the work humans and agents produce and compare that output with AI spending.
The company recently raised a $13.5M Series A led by Standard Capital and launched Weave Router, which selects models for different coding tasks.
In this fireside, @WorkWeave co-founders @adambcohen93 and @AndrewChurchiII join YC's @snowmaker to share how the company evolved alongside the rapid rise of AI coding, from measuring the impact of tools like Cursor to helping teams build software factories that can work autonomously.
They explain how the best engineering teams are learning to measure the real output of their agents, spread the habits of their strongest AI users, and optimize for a future where much more software is written without a human at the keyboard.

I'm paying $150–250k base + substantial equity for software engineers at Weave, and I'm not reading a single resume.

Introducing AI Skills: a framework to score how well an engineer manages coding agents.
In the last year, the biggest challenge in engineering became how do you manage agents.
Today, we've solved that. We built a model to judge every prompt across six dimensions:
