Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Systems log compression for agents.

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

We build log compression tools specifically for agent systems that collect and store vast amounts of operational data. Our product reduces the size of logs without losing critical information, making it easier and cheaper for developers and infrastructure teams to handle log data from distributed agents.

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 is home to a strong developer community and infrastructure companies that use large-scale logging and monitoring tools, which fits well with who we serve and helps us stay close to early users.
