Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Industrial controllers built for AI.

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

We are building a new industrial controller platform, called Neuron, designed specifically for running AI-driven automation in factories. Traditional PLCs still run everything from chemical plants to nuclear reactors, but they're decades old and not built for modern needs. Neuron replaces these controllers so engineers can set up, automate, and optimize whole plants in hours instead of weeks.

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

We are based in Los Angeles, CA, and will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is a hub for manufacturing, robotics, and industrial engineering. We have direct access to factories and users here.
