What Jamsocket does
We are a platform for high-performance browser-based applications. We make it easier for developers to deploy apps that give every user a dedicated backend. This is a system design that apps like Figma and GitHub codespaces use, but it's currently difficult for others to replicate it. We make it as easy as deploying a traditional web server.

Run compute-intensive apps in a browser
We build a platform that lets developers deploy high-performance, browser-based apps that give each user a dedicated backend compute environment. Apps like Figma and GitHub Codespaces use similar architectures, but they're complex to replicate. We make it as easy as deploying a regular web server.
We live and are based in New York, NY, USA, and would keep the company here after YC.
We're based in New York because that's where the team and our early operations are. We want to keep building here where we have roots and connections.
