Great song. What an impressive synthesizer @ 0:15. What is it called?

Thanks! It’s just Serum, probably with the basic saw or square wave with multiple voices, and I think a small delay and/or reverb on it. It starts out an octave lower and I have an LFO or envelope mapped to the semitone pitch to go up to the ending pitch (an octave up).

Short, but really sweet, really throws you into the ocean of good sounds

Thanks for the tip! I was able to replicate the effect and noticed the chord progression you use is the same key as a song I made earlier this summer called hello.  Would you mind if I used these same three chords (with this effect) in a follow up song called "hello (again)"? The reason I ask is because it is literally the same three chords and I don't want to be rude.  If you give permission, I plan on posting it to WB#39.  Of course I will credit you in the post!  In any case, thank you again for the lesson.
