AI/LLM Assessment & Warranty Solutions

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

We provide a product that assesses AI and large language models independently, offering a third-party evaluation that vendors use to meet regulatory requirements, respond to enterprise RFPs, and build trust in their AI solutions. Our platform includes warranty options backed by reinsurers to give enterprises and startups confidence in AI product reliability.

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

We are based in Toronto, Canada, and plan to remain there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

All founders live and work in Toronto. The city has a strong AI and tech ecosystem that supports us, and we have established partnerships with local and global reinsurers from here, so it makes sense to base the company here.
