Company
Approxima
Your software should build itself.
We build an AI-driven development platform that automates routine software maintenance tasks. Our agents can scope work, write code, run end-to-end validation in sandbox environments, and merge changes to production. This lets engineering teams focus on new features and innovation instead of bug fixes and incremental updates.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and would keep the company based there after YC.
San Francisco is where we live and where most of our target customers and technical talent are. Staying local helps us stay close to users and recruit efficiently.
