The first extensible browser for iOS

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

We built a browser for iOS that users can extend with custom functionality. It lets users add features and controls tailored to their needs, something missing from all existing iOS browsers.

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

We live remote and plan to remain remote after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being remote lets us focus on building the product without relocating and gives us access to talent unrestricted by geography.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Insight YC application?

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