AI-Powered Engineering Productivity

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

We built a platform that analyzes every line of code written by engineering teams and provides insights designed specifically for engineering leaders. It helps improve developer experience and boost productivity by pointing out patterns, blockers, and team health signals that are otherwise hard to see.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where most of our early customers and engineering talent are. Building the company here keeps us close to our users and the ecosystem.
