Earlier this week, Theneo announced that it is backed by Y Combinator as part of the 2022 Winter Batch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to announce that we were able to give our members the opportunity to invest in an amazing API documentation tool that is making developers\u2019 and even non-technical team members\u2019 work much easier.
