Sparkles is a web platform that lets non-technical team members contribute code updates to existing software projects without knowing Git, CLI tools, or local dev environments. Founded in 2025 by Ai Daniil Bekirov (UCL dropout, ex-Iterate.com, ex-StructuredAI). Backed by Y Combinator (W26), Moonfire Ventures, a16z Scout Fund, and General Catalyst Scout Fund. A technical user connects their GitHub repo, and anyone with a company email can log in, describe changes in natural language, and create pull requests. Uses isolated cloud sandboxes and AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) to execute changes. YC W26, 1 employee, based in San Francisco.
