What Integrated Reasoning does

Integrated Reasoning builds efficient computer processors that are tailored to the memory access patterns of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems. We’re making it 100x - 10,000x faster to perform computations like scheduling airline pilots or optimizing packing layouts for shipping containers.

Faster processors for solving NP-complete problems

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

We build efficient processors specifically designed around the memory access patterns of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems. Our product accelerates complex computations like airline pilot scheduling and shipping container packing by 100x to 10,000x compared to current options.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA; Kilauea, HI; and remote. After YC, the company will be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco offers the best access to our target users, hardware expertise, and investors. We work remotely and from Kilauea but want to be fully present in the Bay Area after YC to accelerate growth and customer engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Integrated Reasoning YC application?

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