X-ray Vision for First Responders

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

We build portable, tactical radar sensors that let first responders and soldiers detect and track people through walls. Our devices work in complex environments, providing situational awareness where cameras and radios fail.

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

We live in Boise, ID, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Boise is where our founders are rooted, and it offers a strong engineering talent pool and support network. We want to build and grow locally rather than relocate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Lumineye YC application?

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