What Blitz does

Blitz is a no-code platform to build internal applications and automate manual tasks. Quickly build a database, integrate your logic, and scale your operations. Alternative to Google Sheet and Airtable, Blitz is not limited by a number of lines of records or by an API rate. Create your data model and set up data validation rules. Use our interface builder to create dynamic forms, and quickly onboard customer and partners. Leverage our granular permissions to share data to external users (publicly or privately). Add advanced business logic to your forms and portals, without writing any line of code. The experience is similar to creating spreadsheets, but without their limitations in terms of scalability and security. You can use Blitz to build an onboarding flow, an order management system or some validation workflows for compliance purposes. Stop using developer resources or rigid SaaS software. Start building your own tools, adapted to your needs, with Blitz.

No-code platform for internal and customer apps

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

We are building Blitz, a no-code platform that lets non-technical users create internal applications and automate manual workflows. You build a database, define your logic, create dynamic forms, and manage granular permissions for users including customers and partners. Unlike Google Sheets or Airtable, Blitz scales without limits on records or API rates and supports complex validations and business logic without code.

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

We live in San Francisco and remote; after YC the company will be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco offers access to talent, investors, and partners key to scaling Blitz, while remote allows flexibility for our distributed team.

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