Q&A platform for businesses

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

We built Opzi to be a knowledge management platform, basically a Quora inside the enterprise. It lets companies capture and organize questions and answers from their teams, making internal knowledge easy to find and share.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right access to tech talent and customers interested in internal tools, which is critical for building and testing our product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Opzi YC application?

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