What Leaping does

When bad software gets shipped, software companies burn a lot of money and customer trust fixing it. Most software engineers will tell you they spend more time fixing code than writing it, which will only become more true as AI code assistants gain adoption. Leaping autonomously root causes bugs and generates tested code fixes.

Automate bug resolution

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

We built Leaping to autonomously find the root cause of bugs in software and generate tested fixes. Our AI assistant analyzes code and failure data to create concrete, verified patches, so engineers spend less time debugging and fixing and more time building new features.

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

We live and work in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live, and it has the best access to engineering talent, customers, and partners for what we are building.
