Top Tech Startups to Work For in 2027

AI changed how software gets built. Teams release new stuff every day, and nobody can keep up. Product, sales, support and marketing fall behind on what's new, what changed and what it means for customers. Specsight is creating a new category, product observability, for teams building with AI. We connect to the codebase and turn every release into a clear picture of how the product changes and how it works today, written for the whole company, not just engineers. It updates itself on every release, so nobody has to maintain anything. Our vision goes further. As AI writes more and more of the code, humans still need to stay in control of what ships. We're building toward that, from seeing how the product changes, to monitoring its impact, to becoming the control center for software built by AI. Specsight was founded in 2026 by Ola Piętka, an AI engineer who built it solo from first line of code to paying customers in four months. We're in Slush 100, closing our pre-seed round, and building a small founding team that works with AI agents to do the work of a much bigger one. We're remote-first across the US and Europe.
