Why we invested

a16z led Mintlify’s $18M Series A in 2024 and co-led its $45M Series B in 2026. Our published investment memo argues that teams should be able to offer excellent documentation without building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure themselves.

The memo highlights Mintlify’s collaboration tools for developers and non-developers, the founders’ attention to product craft, and a future in which documentation serves both human readers and AI agents.

Building at Mintlify

Mintlify co-founders Han Wang and Hahnbee Lee in an office in BCV’s January 2025 profile
Docs + donuts

Product testing, with donuts.

In a January 2025 founder profile, BCV described a ritual led by Han and Hahnbee: gathering around a table with donuts or cake to review requests, test the product, and spot bugs from the customer's perspective.

How they build

Start with the smallest useful version.

Mintlify's public handbook calls this the 20:80 approach: find the small piece of work that delivers most of the value, then add complexity as it becomes necessary. If a task is too large to ship, reduce its scope.

Autonomy & transparency

Make decisions. Raise doubts.

The handbook gives employees room to decide without asking permission, supported by regular alignment on team goals. It also asks people to surface concerns and uncertainty so problems do not stay hidden.

Using their own product

Their own wiki runs through Slack.

In March 2026, Mintlify described moving its internal knowledge base onto its own product. Team members ask a Slack agent to capture a decision; the agent turns the conversation into a reviewable GitHub pull request.

How roles evolve

A technical writer became a knowledge engineer.

In September 2026, MKT1 reported that Ethan Palm had moved from technical writing into a knowledge engineer role. He maintains internal and external context, builds automations, and reviews their proposed updates. Marketing uses a shared Claude Cowork setup grounded in Mintlify's own knowledge base.
