Turn any website into an API

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

We build a tool that lets developers and product teams turn any website into a structured API. Our product extracts data from websites automatically, so users can collect and use web data programmatically without building scrapers from scratch or wrestling with brittle code.

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

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are rooted in Paris where the team lives and works. Staying here lets us focus fully on product development and customer feedback without relocation disruption.
