Company
Lynx
AI platform for resolving engineering incidents
We are building an AI assistant that investigates engineering incidents like production outages or data anomalies within a company's actual environment. Lynx automatically collects relevant information, identifies root causes, and executes fixes to reduce downtime and speed up incident resolution. It's designed specifically for engineering, product, and design teams who own complex systems and need faster, more reliable incident management.
We live in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company would continue to be based here.
San Francisco is where our team is already located and where most potential customers in tech are based, making it the best place to build and scale Lynx.
