What Million does

Remember the first time you hit and your code actually worked? Something that didn't exist before, now alive on your screen. Today, coding agents can do that, orders of magnitude faster. But their verification is shallow at best. The faster agents generate code, the wider the gap grows. Nothing verifies software at the speed agents ship code. We believe verification unlocks long-horizon coding agents: agents that run for days and prove their work as they go.

Tools for agent verification

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

We build verification tools that confirm coding agents actually do what they say, in real time. As agents generate code faster, nobody verifies it properly at their speed. Million sits between the agent and production, proving their output is correct, especially for long-running tasks.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we're all located and near the core AI and startup ecosystem we rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Million YC application?

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