High-performance gloves for VR and AR

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

We build gloves designed specifically for VR and AR users that track hand movement with precision and low latency. Our gloves improve interaction in virtual spaces by allowing users to manipulate digital objects naturally, replacing clunky controllers.

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

We are currently based in London, England, and plan to keep the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London has a growing VR/AR community and strong hardware engineering talent. It's where we all live and want to build the company long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Plexus YC application?

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