Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Confidently ship analytics code faster

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

We're building software that makes it easier and safer to build and edit data pipelines. Our tools let less-technical people make changes to the data pipeline without breaking stuff, so analytics teams ship code faster with fewer errors.

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

We live in London and Sydney, working remotely. After YC, we'd continue remote-first but may base legally where it makes sense for YC and customers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're distributed because data teams and analysts are global. Remote lets us work with whoever is best, and it's flexible for a small founding team in different countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real ilumadata YC application?

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