Military exoskeletons

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

We're building powered exoskeleton legs for infantry. Our product doubles the range a soldier can travel on foot. Ukrainian combat units - among the most experienced infantry in the world - have already signed LOIs for over $100M. Our hardware is designed for real combat need, not just the lab.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hardware and robotics capital of the US. Our team is already here. It's a good spot for recruiting and prototyping.
