AI risk and ops platform for payments

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

We built an AI platform that helps payment processors, banks, and SaaS companies automate merchant onboarding, risk monitoring, and payment operations. Our AI agents replace manual risk workflows that have not improved substantially in years, handling large volumes of transactions and complex rules more quickly than risk teams can on their own.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco puts us at the center of fintech, payments, and AI talent, which is critical for building trust in a risk platform and for hiring engineers and domain experts.
