Financial copilot for institutional investors

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

We built a financial copilot that layers ChatGPT-style AI on top of financial documents. It helps institutional investors discover insights that regular analysis or search tools can't easily surface. Our product reads and understands complex filings and reports, then answers investor questions with synthesized, relevant financial intelligence.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the finance and AI talent pools intersect and where many institutional investors are based, making it the best place to build and grow our product.
