Run a team of coding agents on your Mac

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

We're building Conductor, a tool to run parallel coding agents in isolated workspaces on your Mac. Users can track what each agent is working on, review their changes side-by-side, and merge them efficiently. It helps teams using AI assistants collaborate without conflicts or confusion.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we're both located and where most early users and engineers we talk to are. Being local lets us move faster in recruiting and customer feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Conductor YC application?

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