A new kind of notebook for data storytelling

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

We've built Livedocs to combine Python, SQL, charts, and dynamic text into interactive documents that teams use to analyze data and communicate insights. Instead of static reports or separate analytics tools, users create live documents that refresh with data and let everyone collaborate in one place.

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

We live in San Francisco and have remote team members. After YC, the company will be based in San Francisco, though we will continue to support remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to our customers and the broader tech ecosystem. We also choose SF because it's where we have a strong network and can recruit engineers and product people easily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Livedocs YC application?

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