Hyprnote + Y Combinator = a faster path to private meeting notes

Intro

We started Hyprnote because we believe you should not have to trade privacy for productivity. Transcribing and summarizing meetings can happen right on your device with no data leaving your control. That simple idea has resonated with thousands of early users.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Hyprnote has been accepted into Y Combinator’s Summer 2025 batch. YC has helped companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Scale AI turn ambitious ideas into products used by millions. Their support will help us scale Hyprnote’s local‑first vision much faster.

Why YC matters

• Speed. YC’s eight‑week sprint focuses founders on shipping and talking to users.
• Community. We gain access to hundreds of founders who have solved the same scaling and go‑to‑market challenges we face.
• Signal. Acceptance validates the magnitude of the privacy problem we’re tackling and attracts talent and partners who share our values.d

What’s next

• Pro plan is imminent. We’re about to roll out HyprLLM; our proprietary LLM for Hyprnote users.
• Windows is happening. Ready for Windows?
• Team plan is coming soon. Share and collaborate with your team easily.
