We built BitPatrol to detect exposed credentials in real time using AI. Our product scans codebases and alerts DevSecOps teams when secrets accidentally leak, helping stop breaches before they happen.

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

We live in New York, NY and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real BitPatrol YC application?

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