# Deal for YC founders

_Current and alumni YC companies redeem Reason credits through Bookface. Autonomous engineering for founders._

September 3, 2026

The batch is for talking to users, finding product-market fit, and moving fast—not losing full days to mechanical bug fixes, boilerplate chores, and dependency rot. Current and alumni YC founders can redeem exclusive Reason credits directly through Bookface to accelerate their engineering loop.

Reason acts as an autonomous software engineer on your team, handling the repetitive coding work and bringing verified pull requests back for your review.

## Run the company, let Reason handle the code

Whether you need to reproduce an intermittent checkout bug, trace an authentication webhook, or ship an integration endpoint, Reason executes the task autonomously in an isolated cloud environment and returns a review-ready PR with passing tests.

## Monitor what matters

Focus on the metrics that define your company—MRR, user retention, activation rates, and customer conversations—while Reason handles the codebase maintenance in parallel.

## How to redeem

Active batch founders and YC alumni can claim their deal by navigating to the [Reason deal on Bookface](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/deals/6551) or signing in with your company email at [reasonmachines.ai/login](/login).
