Launch YC: Axal: Legacy Code, Understood in Hours. Seriously.

"Accelerate Modernization Discovery With AI"

TL;DR: Build precise requirements, user stories, and a modernization plan from any legacy codebase, reducing discovery time by up to 85%.

Founded by Samai Patel & Nand Vinchhi

If you're selling to a sticky product to enterprises, you've probably run into this:

“We’d love to use your product, but our stack is too old...”

That’s where Axal comes in.

Axal 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 their 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.

MongoDB 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.

Get setup in less than 1 hour guaranteed.

They make that process instant and repeatable so if you have a sticky product you can integrate with enterprise codebases easily.

Why it matters to you (YC founder):

You’re not just selling software. You’re selling change.

If legacy tech is blocking your deal, let them unblock it — so you can close faster and look like a hero.
