Overview
Hype (Hypeshot Inc.) is a New York-based, YC S22 crypto/fintech startup building a mobile app for trading memecoins, tracking top traders, and sending crypto to friends. Public sources consistently point to Ravi Bakhai as founder/CEO; public headcount and funding sources vary a bit, but the best-supported current picture is a very small team, roughly 5-7 employees, and about $21M raised across three rounds. No public GitHub or formal engineering blog was found; the main public channels are the website, YC profile, App Store page, X/Twitter, Telegram, Discord, and a newsletter/news archive.
