Authentication for AI Agents

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

We built an API and SDK that manages authenticated sessions for AI agents so developers can connect their customers' accounts and perform actions on their behalf across legacy software and consumer sites. For example, your AI agent can use our platform to access healthcare data or send messages on LinkedIn securely and reliably.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where we both live and work now, and the B2B AI developer community we're targeting has a strong presence here. It also keeps us close to early users and business partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Keet YC application?

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