GraphQL API to connect multiple APIs

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

We built a GraphQL API that lets developers connect to multiple internet APIs - like Twitter, GitHub, Stripe, and Salesforce - through a single interface. Our product simplifies data fetching and integrates authentication across services, reducing the complexity of building apps that talk to many APIs.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us access to talent, early developer users, and the startup ecosystem we rely on to iterate quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real OneGraph YC application?

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