Mina is a startup research signal assistant I built for the You.com AI hackathon, where it won first place for highlighting which startups are truly growing, not just generating hype.

Powered by the You.com API, Mina pulls live data on a company’s product, funding activity, and public signals, then condenses everything into a clear snapshot with source links so users can quickly gauge momentum and decide where to dig deeper.

My role was to design the end-to-end user experience and translate a complex API into a focused, problem-solving workflow that makes startup discovery faster, clearer, and more actionable.
