AI video editing for creators

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

We built Flik to automate video editing using AI. Creators upload raw footage, and our product analyzes, trims, and assembles the clips into polished videos. The tool is designed to save creators hours of manual editing, especially those producing high volumes of content regularly.

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

We live and work in Los Angeles, and Flik will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is where the creative tech community we serve is concentrated. Being close to content creators helps us understand their needs and iterate quickly.

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