Rivet
Rivet is a visual AI editor for product designers to make UI changes. Designers ship the changes they make directly to their codebase. The most painful problem for designers today is that their vision doesn't match code. Rivet replaces slow collaboration between designers and engineers by letting designers just do it themselves. Rivet's editor helps turn product designers into design engineers. Design-led companies in YC are Rivet customers. Learn more at rivet.design

a16z-investment-list #804Rivet is classified as AI infrastructure from source descriptions and fund-directory context. Similar companies below are ranked from offline product facets and meaningful description overlap; category and source affiliation can only strengthen an existing product match. For lookup-created rows, the profile starts as pending enrichment until deeper source collection runs.
Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Agentic Labs
match 70Agentic Labs is making software design and architecture less painful by building AI into the process. Today, developers have no shortage of tools for instantly creating chunks of code, but designing the systems that integrate this code is the hardest and most manual part of software engineering. Our first product is Glide, an AI-first editor purpose-built for writing technical design docs. It connects to your codebase and saves your engineering team time on triage, planning, and implementation o

Midplane
match 61Companies are connecting AI coding agents like Cursor and Claude directly to their databases — where one wrong command can delete data or leak customer records. Midplane sits in between and controls what each agent is allowed to do: it blocks dangerous queries, hides sensitive data, and keeps a record of everything the agent touches. It’s open source, and runs either as a hosted service or on your own servers.
