Production visibility for teams that ship fast

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

We build Interfere, a tool that detects, triages, and fixes bugs automatically without human involvement. It gives modern product teams a continuous understanding of issues happening in their apps and manages the entire resolution process from the initial signal through to production, improving reliability and speed.

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

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because that's where the founding team is based and where we've built our initial product and team. Staying local lets us move fast and coordinate closely as we scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Interfere YC application?

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