We help law enforcement solve crime

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

We built a search tool that helps law enforcement sift through vast amounts of data to solve crimes faster. Our product indexes and makes searchable local, state, and federal law enforcement data that is otherwise overwhelming to navigate.

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

We live in New York, NY, and will base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our users and team are here. New York is where we have access to law enforcement agencies and the talent we need to build and support the product.

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