Unvibe for investors

The ownership layer for AI-written code.

AI writes code faster than people can understand it. Unvibe sits beside the editor, explains what changed, checks that it stuck, and keeps the knowledge fresh as the code moves.

The thesis

Shipping is solved. Understanding is not.

01

Problem

Developers ship AI-generated code faster than they can confidently explain or maintain it. Knowledge rots the moment the code changes.

02

Product

Select code, press Control+U (Ctrl+Alt+U on Windows). Unvibe explains it in place at five depths, quizzes you, saves the lesson, and reviews what your agent just changed.

03

Wedge

A desktop layer that works beside Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Terminal instead of replacing the editor. Neutral across every agent.

Resource runway

Where the $262,700 comes from.

Every program credit and self-reported cash line, by source. Program credits $261,900 · cash $800. Credits are not cash, and this is not a funding round.
