What FeaturePeek does

FeaturePeek creates supercharged deployment previews of your frontend that you can share to quickly get feedback on your implementation in progress. A drawer overlay is added on top of your site that makes it easy for your reviewers to take screenshots with annotations, capture screen recordings, leave comments, create tickets on popular bug-tracking platforms, and more. You get this functionality just by deploying to FeaturePeek - no dependencies or code changes needed.

Supercharged deployment previews for all

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

We build deployment previews for frontend teams that overlay an interactive drawer on top of the site. Reviewers can leave comments, annotate screenshots, capture screen recordings, and create tickets in bug trackers directly from the preview. This works simply by deploying to FeaturePeek - no code changes or dependencies needed. It speeds up frontend feedback loops and improves collaboration between engineers, designers, and product people.

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

We're based in San Francisco with a remote-friendly team. After YC, the company will continue to operate from San Francisco and remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are in San Francisco because it's where we live and where we have connections to early users. Being remote-compatible helps us tap into talent and users outside the city while keeping operations lean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real FeaturePeek YC application?

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