AI Powered CAD

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

We're building AI CAD - a tool that turns text instructions directly into parametric 3D designs. Engineering and product teams use it to go from idea to prototype 10x faster. It cuts out tedious manual CAD work by generating precise, editable models from plain language.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the engineers, designers, and hardware companies we need close by. Being here keeps us close to our users and the ecosystem around hardware design and manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Adam YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Adam's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Adam would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
