AI SRE For Teams on Kubernetes

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

We built Metoro to automate site reliability engineering for teams running Kubernetes. Run one command and you get autonomous root cause analysis plus automatic fix PRs. It sets up telemetry out of the box so you can go from zero to production ready in under five minutes. It's specifically for teams that want to spend less time chasing alerts and more time shipping.

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

We live in London and will base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're both based in London and work closely together in the same time zone. The local tech ecosystem supports us well and we can recruit talent here for the next phase.

Is this the real Metoro YC application?

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