Financial research platform for investment firms

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

We built a platform that lets investment analysts instantly search and analyze thousands of pages of company filings and earnings reports. It delivers answers with source citations and verifiable calculations, speeding up financial research that is otherwise manual and time-consuming. Over time, we plan to integrate more data sources, automate workflows, and generate investment documents to free analysts from repetitive tasks.

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

We currently live in different locations and are fully remote. After YC, we plan to remain remote or base the company where it best supports hiring and growth.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We didn't want location to limit us. Financial research talent and our users are spread across many cities, so staying remote gives us access to better engineers and closer ties to customers.
