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

We built Origami to help sales teams find and connect with their ideal leads by typing a simple prompt. It pulls data from over 100 sources so users can search for prospects, enrich existing contacts, or launch outreach sequences all in one place.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is located and where most of our early customers are. Staying here keeps us close to our users and the sales-tech community we're building in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Origami YC application?

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