Figma for video

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

We are building the world's first collaborative video editor in the cloud. Our product lets multiple creators work together on video projects in real time, just like designers do on Figma. This removes the friction of traditional video editing tools that are desktop-only and single-user focused.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA, and will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team lives and where most video and design tools companies are, so it's the best location to recruit talent and customers.

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