AI-powered document automation: collect, review, extract, sync

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

We built Pigeon to automate the full document lifecycle for businesses. Our product collects documents from clients, reviews and extracts data using AI, and syncs that data with CRMs or storage systems. It cuts out manual back-and-forth and eliminates thousands of hours spent on tedious document tasks.

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

We live in New York City, and we plan to base the company in New York after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in NYC because that's where we started and built our initial product with our team. Staying here after YC makes sense as we have local customers and a strong network here.

Is this the real Pigeon YC application?

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