Hahnbee Lee co-founded the digital platform Mintlify with Han Wang to fill a gap in the documentation market.

A 2017 Society for Science International Science and Engineering Fair alum, Lee met Wang while she was studying computer and information sciences at Cornell University. They became project partners while being in the same design and technology program, building a course planning app that’s still used by Cornell undergraduates.

Their shared drive for building products that solved problems led to the launch of Mintlify in 2022. The platform is intentionally designed for engineers and developers to easily and efficiently create and maintain AI-powered documentation. It quickly caught the attention of investors and raised over $22 million in funding. 

As of early 2026, Mintlify has helped millions of people at more than 10,000 companies, and is actively releasing new features and products. Both Lee and Wang were featured in Forbes’ 2026 30 Under 30.
