I totally agree with you that scalability is an huge point and that we need to tackle it. Two things:
1. We won't build all the integrations ourselves. There are just too many individual things. We'll provide an API that developers can use to cover their custom workflows.
2. Raycast doesn't replace your other tools. It makes the common interactions with them simple and fast. We believe that it shouldn't take plenty of clicks to create issues in Jira or update any statuses and that there is an huge opportunity to streamline this tasks. Think about it as a companion app for your web apps.
Alright -- I wish you the best of luck, though I'm skeptical that you guys can sell this to businesses. Mostly because as I've gained experience working in the industry, it hasn't been my experience that corporations are willing to pay for something that can only give nebulous promises about increasing employee productivity. Doubly so if it's some kind of developer(or power user)-oriented tool whose benefit might be hard to explain to the average joe.
But I hope I'm wrong, since I would really love this. I use rofi + some custom shell scripts to achieve a similar interface in some ways, but as I imagine you know very well by now, going from something like that, to something that integrates with jira(or whatever) is not just a couple of steps.

And to your last point: Yes, we got funded by YC.
