Was Overshoot tut

Overshoot makes it easy for developers to build and run real-time vision applications. AI can see and understand the physical world. This unlocks new applications in physical security, safety, gaming, robotics and general consumer products. Soon, video agents will watch your home and your pet when you’re away. However, existing platforms make it painful for developers to build these real-time applications. Slow inference. Limited model availability. Break at scale. Overshoot solves this. Today, 300+ developers connect live video feeds to the largest collection of Vision Language Models with 3 lines of code. And get responses in less than 200ms. 10x faster than any existing inference platform. Zero infra headache. Our moat is focus. Image and Video are fundamentally different modalities from text. By focusing on them, we are able to make strong technical leaps from codec, streaming protocols to inference engines. Younes and Zakaria are cousins. Zakaria graduated top of his class at LSE and MIT, and later built low-latency high-throughput pricing systems (surge) at Uber and inference engines at Meta. He previously built and sold a software product and won several prominent AI hackathons. Younes was a founding engineer at Cosmonio (later acquired by Intel). He built a training and serving Computer Vision platform from scratch. He witnessed firsthand customers abandoning traditional Computer Vision because it lacked the “general” intelligence LLMs have today. Together we’ve shipped large-scale systems and know where they break.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI Infra for real-time vision applications

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an infrastructure platform that lets developers run real-time video applications using vision-language models. Our product connects live video feeds to large vision model collections with minimal code and delivers low-latency responses under 200ms, vastly faster than existing options. We solve the difficulty of slow inference, limited models, and system breaks at scale in vision AI.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is currently based and it's the best place to access AI talent, early users, and investors focused on AI infrastructure.
