YC reposts the launch of Intelligence.ai, which says it grew from $5M to $60M ARR in six months with a 10-person team and reached 5.5M users across 190+ countries.
The company also says it raised a $7.9M seed round led by Index Ventures, with participation from Conviction, A\StarVC, and YC, to build DesignArena — a universal interface for accessing and evaluating AI capabilities.
Its pitch is that live user behavior is a better verifier than synthetic evals: users submit requests, competing models try to solve them, and behavior data is used to route work and improve model access.
