Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Describe It. Find It. Act On It.

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

We have built a platform that connects all video cameras in public safety networks, runs real-time computer vision to detect threats faster, and delivers actionable alerts to help teams respond immediately. It unifies these streams so users can find incidents as they happen and act on them before they escalate.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here now and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the AI and GovTech communities overlap. It's where we have access to clients and AI talent, so it makes sense to stay here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real EdgeTrace YC application?

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