What Clidey does

WhoDB is an open-source platform for modeling organizations and running decisions on top of their data. It lets teams define their core entities (customers, accounts, assets, workflows), the relationships between them, and the rules and objectives that govern how decisions should be made. WhoDB continuously ingests operational data and keeps this model up to date in real time. Instead of building dashboards, writing ad-hoc queries, or maintaining scattered business logic, teams express decisions declaratively - what should happen, under what conditions, and with what constraints. WhoDB evaluates those decisions automatically as data changes and produces actions, recommendations, or state updates. Everything is transparent and inspectable: data models, decision logic, and outcomes are fully auditable and can be extended in code.

Turn scattered data into one platform for decision-making

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

We are building WhoDB, a platform that lets teams model their organizations by defining core entities like customers, accounts, assets, and workflows, then express decision logic declaratively. WhoDB ingests their operational data continuously, evaluates decisions as data changes, and outputs actions or recommendations automatically. It replaces the need for ad-hoc queries, dashboards, and fragmented logic with a unified, auditable, code-extensible decision engine suited for complex operational use cases.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and remote locations. After YC, Clidey will be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the team is primarily located and where many of our users and potential customers reside. It allows easier access to early customers, partners, and investors while still accommodating remote work for team members.
