What Aspect does

Aspect helps creative teams consolidate 5 media tools into one platform. We provide everything a media team needs: file ingest, local file streaming, review and approval, sharing, and archiving. Aspect workspaces come with an agent that has complete understanding of your asset library including comments and revisions. Ask the agent to complete any task in the background: searching for files, setting up folder structures, labeling and organizing footage, and much more. Check out aspect.inc/use-cases to see how different media teams use Aspect to deliver content faster.

Intelligent media storage for creative teams

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

We built a single platform that replaces five media tools used by creative teams. Aspect manages file ingest, local streaming, review and approval, sharing, and archiving. Our agent understands the entire asset library - including comments and revisions - so users can offload tedious tasks like searching files, organizing footage, and setting up folders.

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

We live and work in New York City, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because we're embedded in the creative scene here and work closely with local media teams. Staying in NYC keeps us close to our users and the problems we're solving.

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.
