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

We built Anasen to make data analysis easy and accessible to non-technical business users. Our app lets people who aren't analysts or engineers explore their own data and get insights without writing SQL or relying on IT. It integrates with common data sources and translates business questions into queries automatically.

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

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan to remain based here with a remote team after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Paris is home to the founding team and a growing startup ecosystem. We have built our current user base here and can leverage local talent while operating remotely to scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Anasen YC application?

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