AI for the next generation of media

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

We're building Prism, a platform that uses AI to help product, design, and engineering teams create short-form videos quickly. It turns complex concepts into engaging video content without requiring video editing expertise.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent pool and ecosystem we need for building an AI-first media company. It's where our team and early users are, and we want to stay close to that community.

Is this the real Prism YC application?

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