Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

AI that finds and fixes OS-level vulnerabilities.

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

We built Palisade, an AI system that scans fleets of connected devices to identify and help remediate OS-level vulnerabilities. Fleet security at the device and operating system layer is uniquely hard to automate and too often handled by manual audits or unreliable scripts. Palisade automates detection and prioritization, then orchestrates fixes across every machine. This minimizes risk and ops overhead for companies with lots of endpoints.

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

San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will stay based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the founder lives now, and it's the hub for B2B SaaS and security startups. Staying here keeps us close to both future customers and the technical talent pool.
