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

Probo acts like your compliance team. You tell us how your business operates, and we handle setting the right compliance requirements without overkill, managing documents, risks, controls, and evidence, running audits, and keeping everything up to date afterward. This removes weeks of compliance work from founders' plates.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based there and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we built the product and built a small team familiar with the compliance and security ecosystem. It's where our early users are and where we want to be close to the enterprise ecosystem.
