Fuzzing as a Service

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

We are building a fuzzing as a service platform that automates security testing for software. It runs continuous fuzz tests against codebases to find vulnerabilities developers miss before deployment.

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

We all live in San Francisco, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in San Francisco because it's where we live and where the security and developer communities we target are strongest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Fuzzbuzz YC application?

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