The world's data, ready for AI

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

We build a set of APIs and curated data sources designed to be immediately accessible and usable by AI systems. Our product strips away the hassle of finding, parsing, and normalizing big data, so AI developers can integrate rich data directly, without custom connectors or manual wrangling.

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

I live in Seattle, WA, and the company is based here now. After YC, we'll continue to operate remote-first from Seattle.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Seattle offers a good tech talent pool and a strong software culture. Remote-first also means location is flexible. I'm rooted here and can access resources and networks as needed.
