Strikingly
Strikingly is the first Y Combinator-backed startup from China. We allow anyone to build a modern, mobile-optimized website in minutes.
We’re already profitable and growing very fast. With that, we’ve attracted investment from top investors in both Silicon Valley and China, including Innovation Works (创新工场), SV Angel, Index Ventures, and Infinity Venture Partners. We've been covered by TechCrunch, The Next Web, Forbes, The New York Times,LifeHacker, and more.
But most important of all is our Silicon Valley culture. We love hackers because we're hackers. We hate endless meetings, nonsensical rules, and office politics. We love building cool products and we value people who get stuff done.
