E-Sign API for AI Agents

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

Atlas is an API that lets users send any document for electronic signature with one call. It detects fields, pre-fills the data automatically, and returns a signable link without needing templates or manual setup. This solves the friction of integrating e-signatures into AI agent workflows and automates a process that's usually manual and template-driven.

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

Shaan is based in New York, and Avi works remotely. After YC, we'll base the company in New York while keeping remote flexibility.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started where we live and work because it's where we can build fast and find early customers. Being remote-friendly lets us tap talent and customers beyond a single city.

Is this the real Atlas YC application?

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