Turn static docs into instant answers

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

We build Archbee, a knowledge portal platform that turns static documentation into searchable, easy-to-navigate, collaborative knowledge bases. It helps engineering, product, and design teams organize technical docs so anyone can quickly find precise answers instead of wading through endless pages.

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

We live and the company is based in Bucharest, Romania with a primarily remote team scattered around.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bucharest is our home base and where Dragos is located. The engineering talent here is strong and costs are manageable compared to western Europe or the US. Remote also lets us tap talent globally while keeping leadership grounded locally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Archbee YC application?

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