Our Take
Tessa Kriesel and team looked at developer tools and realized something most companies miss: nobody actually knows how developers really use their products. Metrics lie. Surveys lie. What developers actually do—the late-night debugging sessions, the messy workarounds, the Stack Overflow rabbit holes—stays hidden until something breaks. Built for Devs is an AI platform that captures the raw, unfiltered reality of developer experience. No vanity metrics. No survivorship bias. Just the messy truth about how your product actually performs in the wild.
The team includes Lien Chueh, Carmona Serrat, Alexey Glukharev, Marek Nalikowski, Mykola Kondratiuk, and Tessa Kriesel who's been in developer relations for years and knows exactly how bad most companies are at understanding devs. Built for Devs recently launched on Product Hunt and is going after the massive dev tools market—which is valued in the tens of billions—armed with the belief that if you can't measure the real developer experience, you're just guessing.
They're remote and looking for companies who actually want to understand their developers instead of just shipping features and hoping. Stop guessing. Start knowing.
