Fullstack API and management platform for dashboards

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

We built a React library, API, and management toolkit specifically for building customer-facing dashboards. Our product makes it easier for companies to ship reports that their customers interact with directly. It's built to handle the complexity of data visualization while giving teams control over the dashboard management process.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are located in San Francisco because it's where our team lives and where we have access to the customers and talent we need. Staying local keeps us close to key partners and market feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Quill YC application?

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