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

We live in Toronto, Canada, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Toronto because it's where we live and where we have access to automotive dealerships to work closely with as our early users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Clearline YC application?

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