The Early Journey of Mintlify

Mintlify was founded by two co-founders, Han and Hanh B, who have extensive experience in building products from a young age. Initially, they aimed to develop tools that catered to students navigating their college requirements, ultimately creating a solution that was adopted by about half of their university's students. The drive to create products that genuinely assist users shaped their approach, leading them through various startup experiences, including attempts with AI models like OpenAI's Codex. Their journey highlights the importance of connecting with users personally and understanding their needs in the development of valuable tools for specific audiences.
