Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Like Twitter but you post others' status.

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

We built a social platform where instead of broadcasting your own status updates, you post and share the status of others. It's a twist on status updates to highlight connections and conversations rather than just yourself.

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

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and would continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles has the right mix of early adopters interested in social media experiments and access to talent. Staying here lets us stay close to our initial community while still engaging YC remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Pribbit YC application?

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