Mintlify is a documentation platform, founded in 2021, that helps software companies create and maintain technical documentation for both human readers and AI agents. Content is authored as Git-hosted MDX and published as searchable docs sites with API references, interactive playgrounds, an embedded assistant, and agent-run 📝Workflows that keep content current automatically. Mintlify serves more than 20,000 companies — including 📝Anthropic, 📝Cursor, and 📝Perplexity — and its docs reach an audience of over 100 million people annually.
Mintlify was founded by Hahnbee Lee and Han Wang, who met at Cornell University and built the company out of their own frustration with existing documentation tooling. Backed by 📝Y Combinator, it raised a seed round from Bain Capital Ventures in 2022, an $18 million Series A led by 📝Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) in 2024, and a $45 million Series B in April 2026 — co-led by a16z and 📝Salesforce Ventures — that valued the company at $500 million and brought total funding to $67 million. Mintlify's positioning rests on a thesis that AI agents are becoming the primary readers of documentation and that docs must be authored as a dual-audience surface; the company emits machine-readable outputs such as llms.txt and hosts a 📝Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for each docs site so coding agents can consume content reliably.
