YC Spring 2026 (P26) founder

Saai Arora

Founder of Replicas, Run any coding agent harness in the cloud

Company

Saai Arora is listed as a founder of Replicas. Replicas is a background coding agent that allows you to delegate tasks to Claude Code or Codex from Slack, Linear, GitHub, and more. Each task works inside of a sandboxed virtual machine, allowing teams to heavily parallelize work and burn through tickets. Replicas agents output higher quality PRs via feedback loops - each task automatically is notified and fixes CI failures and reads all code reviews. With Environments, engineering teams can configure agents to run their entire codebase locally, verify its work, and provide preview URLs.
