What Disclo does

Disclo is the first software for employers to collect, verify, and manage health disclosures and employee accommodation requests (HIPAA and SOC2 compliant, of course). We help employees secure the enhancements and protections they need to succeed in their careers without having to disclose their underlying medical condition to their employer. We handle the collection of that data, the verification, the secure data management, and much more. Using our patent-pending medical verification system, Disclo validates that an employee's accommodation request is legitimate and required, interacting with medical providers directly, so HR managers can focus on what they do best. We help companies stay compliant with EEOC, ADA, and HIPAA guidelines.

Health disclosure and accommodation platform

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

We built software that helps employers collect, verify, and manage employee health disclosures and accommodation requests. Our product keeps medical information secure and HIPAA compliant while validating accommodation needs via direct interaction with medical providers. This lets HR focus on managing accommodations instead of chasing down paperwork or risking compliance errors.

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

We live in Austin, TX and have a remote team. Post-YC, the company would remain based in Austin with remote employees.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Austin offers a strong tech talent pool and a growing startup scene, which fits our team and long-term scalability. Remote work lets us tap talent nationwide.
