What Clarm does

Clarm Atlas 10xes productivity for non-technical operators in high-trust, regulated teams - banks, healthcare, insurance, publicly listed companies - by letting them build their own, fully governed AI agents. Teams build agents on their own approved data: every answer cites its source, all primitives are deterministic and highly governable, every action is logged for audit, and you bring your own AI model.

Build governed AI agents on your own data

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

We build Clarm Atlas, a platform that lets regulated, high-trust teams like banks and healthcare providers create their own AI agents without writing code. These agents run on their approved data, cite every answer's source, log every action for audits, and let users bring their own AI models. This setup solves the problem of safely deploying AI in environments where compliance and governance are critical.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco hosts our team and target customers. Being here gives us the best access to regulated industries and technical talent needed to build and sell Clarm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Clarm YC application?

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