Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Automate paperwork by turning documents into structured data

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

We are building a tool that extracts structured data from messy documents automatically. Customers use it to replace manual data entry from forms, contracts, and reports, saving hours of tedious work. Our product uses natural language processing to understand different document formats and reliably pull out key information.

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

We both live in Mountain View, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started where we live and will continue here because being in Silicon Valley gives us access to tech talent and customers in the Bay Area's strong enterprise scene.
