Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We are still in stealth mode.

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

Interlock is building an AI-driven product in the B2B space focused on improving workflows or decision-making processes for businesses. We're solving an important problem for operators or managers who deal with complexity and inefficiency. Our AI helps automate or assist in tasks that otherwise require extensive manual effort or expert knowledge.

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

We live and work primarily in San Jose and San Francisco, California. After YC, the company would remain based in the Bay Area to stay close to talent and customers.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are located in San Jose and San Francisco because of the concentration of tech talent and potential customers nearby, which makes developing and selling our product easier and faster.
