How do I get startups to use my open-code project?

Find one YC startup whose public job postings mention Jira + Claude/Cursor. They already have the exact stack. DM the CTO directly on X with a one-liner: "built something that automates your easy Jira tickets into PRs automatically — want to try it?" That's your shortest path to a real user.

Learn sales and marketing. There are many threads on HN about how to do so.

I wonder if there is a way for one not to connect to Jira but provide PRD or link to a md file with changes to be made, access to code base (fe & be) and your project can implement changes, test fixes and create gitlab MR.

I am looking into this for my team

I generally am curious too - Im running into a similar issue with my tool build.

Difficult just to get feedback. This seems like a cool project, I dont have a ticketing system otherwise i'd try it.
