    MultiLLM

    A Chrome extension that sends one prompt to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini simultaneously using existing logins.

    Gradient

    Automation tool for Claude Code and Codex, compiling repeated prompts into skills, rules, and hooks.

    Market Position

    Clinch positions itself as a privacy-first, local-only alternative to modern terminals like Warp, specifically optimized for the 'agentic engineering' workflow where persistent sessions and agent status are critical.

    Leadership

    Founders

    EE

    Elliot Eckholm

    Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 10+ years of experience. Previously at Mix.com (an Expa company) and first ML hire at two startups. Education: University of California, Santa Cruz.

    Executive Team

    EE

    Elliot Eckholm

    Founder & Principal Engineer

    Solo practitioner and creator of Clinch. Senior ML Engineer with extensive startup experience.

    Founding Story

    Elliot Eckholm created Clinch because he wanted a terminal that could handle multiple parallel AI agent sessions and resume them after a restart. He forked the Warp client after it was open-sourced to build a local-first, no-telemetry alternative tailored for agentic engineering.

    Business Model

    Revenue Model

    Independent consulting (fixed project fees or hourly rates) via Y Lambda; software products like Clinch are currently free and open source.

    Pricing Tiers

    Free / Open Source
    0

    Clinch is 100% free, open source (AGPL-3.0), and requires no sign-in or account.
