{"id":91586,"title":"Axal: Legacy Code, Understood in Hours. Seriously.","tagline":"We help startups who want to integrate their tech into enterprise legacy systems by expediting the process of discovery + rewrite by months.","body":"Hi, we’re Samai and Nand — Co-Founders of Axal 👋\n\nIf you're selling to a sticky product to enterprises, you've probably run into this:\n\n“We’d love to use your product, but our stack is too old...”\n\nThat’s where we come in.\n\nAxal reverse engineers legacy codebases (Java, C#) to generate **functional requirements and user stories in hours** — essentially helping your clients expedite the discovery process of their modernization. A beta version of our tool then figures out what needs to be rewritten and makes an outline for your team so you can easily rewrite their code and integrate your product. \n\nMongoDB already does this to land enterprise deals — they rewrite the client’s legacy system _just enough_ to make it so they can integrate their product and switch up the DB. Then they are sticky forever.\n\nGet setup in less than 1 hour guaranteed. \n\nAxal Demo - Creating Functional Requirement Document and User story of 30k line Java codebase \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXWTFxfw2vE\n\nWe make that process instant and repeatable so if you have a sticky product you can integrate with enterprise codebases easily.\n\n**Why it matters to you (YC founder):**\n\nYou’re not just selling software. You’re selling _change_.\n\nIf legacy tech is blocking your deal, let us unblock it — so you can close faster and look like a hero.\n\nTo get started, email me - [samai@joinaxal.com](mailto:samai@joinaxal.com)\n\nJoin the waitlist rewrite tool: ","slug":"NpC-axal-legacy-code-understood-in-hours-seriously","created_at":"2025-06-24T14:50:34.452Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T00:44:14.267Z","total_vote_count":9,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NpC-axal-legacy-code-understood-in-hours-seriously","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":30353,"name":"Axal","slug":"axal","url":"https://www.axal.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/82e9354c307a1bd5e3bca2ede62b3b0bdfbdba15.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Manufacturing","Enterprise Software","Automation"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30353"}}
