Building The Next Generation of Night Vision Devices

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

We are building an AI-powered night vision device that significantly improves image clarity and detection in low-light environments. Our product combines computer vision and AI models to enhance visibility for defense and industrial users operating at night or in dark conditions.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here during and after YC.
