What Collar does

Collar (YC F26) is the AI for your investor relations and equity research reports. It reads every filing, transcript and comp, flags what actually changed, and drafts the note. So we want to take the IR stack off your plate: equity research, quarterly reports, filings, and investor updates.

AI for Investor Relations and Equity Research

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

Collar is an AI tool that automates investor relations and equity research reporting. Our product reads through filings, transcripts, and peer comps, flags what materially changed, and drafts the analyst note or update. We aim to replace the most repetitive IR and research workflows: prepping quarterly reports, drafting earnings summaries, handling investor updates. People use Collar to stop wasting hours reading through every line of every disclosure.

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

We are based in Singapore. The company will continue to be based in Singapore after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Singapore is where both founders live and where most of our early adopters are. It's also a significant finance hub, so our users - IR and research teams - are nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Collar YC application?

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