Software to monitor, control data centers

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

We build software that lets data center operators onboard every piece of hardware through a single utility node in under an hour. It monitors assets in real time, detects hardware failures and hotspots, and generates detailed reports on metrics like Power Usage Effectiveness, energy consumption, and resource utilization. This helps operators increase uptime, reduce costs, and improve overall performance without juggling multiple tools or manual checks.

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

We currently live in San Francisco and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the team lives and where the data center industry is shifting more infrastructure software. Staying here means quick access to potential customers and partners, and tapping into the engineering talent pool.
