AI-powered Application Control

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

We built software that uses AI agents to analyze every application execution on Windows and macOS. The product lets security teams decide exactly what apps can run in their environment, preventing unauthorized software from executing.

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

We live in Palo Alto, CA and some team members are remote. The company is and will remain based in Palo Alto after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Palo Alto to be close to a strong engineering talent pool and security-focused enterprise customers. Remote work helps us attract talent beyond the Bay Area.
