The RFP platform asset managers adopt

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

We built an AI-powered RFP platform that lets asset managers fill diligence questionnaires in minutes instead of days. It automates the process of answering repetitive and recycled content requests from allocators, so teams can spend their time raising capital instead of compiling paperwork.

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

We live in Montreal, Canada, and the company is based here now. We plan to keep it based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Montreal is where we live and where our small technical team is located. It's a solid hub for fintech talent and lets us move fast without relocating.

Is this the real GovernGPT YC application?

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