We build a tool that lets engineering, product, and design teams create and publish user interfaces quickly. Aspect streamlines the UI development process so teams don't waste time juggling code and design handoffs.

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

I live in San Francisco, and the company would be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is home to a large concentration of engineering and design teams who need faster UI workflows. Being here puts us close to customers and relevant networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Aspect YC application?

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