What Cinapse does
Cinapse is reimagining the production schedule: the foundation of every film and TV project. We’re building the OS of Hollywood, starting with the tool that filmmakers use every day. Besides the script, nothing is more foundational to filmmaking. There’s no accurate budget without a schedule. No execution plan without one. The schedule is the map that takes us from idea to image. Cinapse helps filmmakers draw that map better, faster, and together.

The Operating System of Hollywood
We're building a production scheduling tool that serves as the OS of Hollywood. It helps filmmakers create accurate, collaborative production schedules, which are the foundation for budgets and execution plans in film and TV projects.
We live primarily in Los Angeles, CA with a remote setup. After YC, the company would remain based in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is where the entertainment industry is headquartered, close to our users and the problem we're solving. Being nearby filmmakers and production teams makes it easier to build and iterate with real customers.
