Context for Codebases

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

We build Driver, a context layer that translates codebases into a shared, structured understanding. It precomputes the context so teams get symbol-complete documentation, maps of their architecture, and history guides, letting them reason across code without guesswork or manual searching.

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

We live in Austin, TX and Driver is based here too. We plan to remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Austin gives us access to a growing tech talent pool and a strong engineering community. It's our home and suits our team size and culture for now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Driver YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Driver's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Driver would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
