Client-side encryption for devices and cloud

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

We built Documents.Me to offer enterprises mobile file sharing and encryption that happens entirely on the client side. Instead of relying on cloud providers to secure files, our product encrypts data before it leaves the device, so the enterprise controls the keys and privacy. This lets companies securely share sensitive documents without exposing them to cloud breaches or insider threats.

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

We are based in Santa Clara, California, and the company would remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Santa Clara is where we live and where we built the product. It's a natural place for a security and privacy company targeting enterprise clients who want strong encryption solutions for mobile.
