LlamaIndex Delivers Croissants and Free Credits to YC and a16z Speedrun Startups
llama_index · x · 2026-10-21
Ahead of Y Combinator and a16z Speedrun demo days, LlamaIndex spent a day as a "croissant delivery service": custom boxes with Arsicault chocolate almond croissants plus free credits, hand-delivered across SF to early-stage founders.
The team says the doorstep visits doubled as conversations with founders about what they're building, and invited any YC / a16z Speedrun startup who missed out to request a delivery. A textbook ground-marketing play by a devtool vendor targeting the early-stage community.
