Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma.tech. Previously worked as software engineer & developer advocate at Cloudant (YC S08, Acq. by IBM), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11, Facebook/Meta), and explored AI/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars).
We have two products:
1. Puma iOS & Android – browser with built in LLMs & Wallets. Private by design.
2. Puma AI app for Mac – ChatGPT/Atlas, but with ability to pick different model providers and fall-back to local-first ones for data privacy.
Would love your help building and growing both.
We value Optimism, Kindness, Curiosity, Speed and Grit.
Open Roles: Eng (iOS/MacOS, Android, Ai/ML, Browser Extensions), Based Social Media Intern; Internships: Eng, Design, Growth
We’ve raised a few rounds from some of the best builders in crypto and ai:
Protocol Labs (YC S14), Chris Larsen (Ripple), Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (poolside.ai, ex-GitHub CTO), Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp W18), Evil Rabbit (Vercel), John Phamous (SF Compute) and other amazing builders.

We have 2 main products:
1. Puma Browser with built in LLMs & Wallets. Private by design. Future of the web is agentic – come help us explore best ways to shape it.
2. Puma Network that we're just starting to build out – a way to store and share your memories, context and credentials and provide access to other apps.
If either is exciting to you – please reach out.

1. Built in Local LLMs in Puma Browser for iOS and Android.
2. Crypto/stablecoin payments for LLM usage / Ai agents.
3. Puma Ai for MacOS – simplified LM Studio native Mac app.
4. Ways to train Ai agents on mobile web games.

- My car is old enough to not have adaptive cruise control and lane centering, but that's all I'd love to have for now. Well executed, it's such a joy on a highway or in traffic.
Jeep and others have it but drive like a bowling ball with guardrails up.
Has anyone here successfully retrofitted Audi a4 with ACC? I hear Cruise started like that, would be awesome to get a kit like that.

I come from a multi-generation family of PhDs and teachers so we definitely need to step up our relationships with universities :-D. Bonus points if you're part of ai or crypto club in your uni.
Puma Browser: we started with the idea of a privacy-first browser with built-in micropayments (via the Interledger Protocol) and have since added support for identity and storage.
We soft launched OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini integrations and local LLMs like TinyLlama, Phi, Google's Gemma and Mistral. It's pretty rough v1 so tons of work ahead. Come help us build it.
Exploring a ton of ideas for Puma.network: decentralized infrastructure layer running on top of Puma Browser 900k installs focused on creating open LLMs and rewarding contributions of compute, feedback (RLHF) and data.
We’ve raised Angel and Seed venture rounds from some of the best builders in crypto and Ai: Protocol Labs, Shima Capital, SBI, Fenbushi, HashKey, Chris Larsen (founder of Ripple), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (ex-GitHub CTO), Illia Polosukhin (cofounder of NEAR), Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp) and many more.
