Reflect is a no-code tool for automated website testing. Instead of building and maintaining complex Selenium tests, companies use Reflect to run automated end-to-end tests without writing code.

No-code test automation for web apps

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

We built Reflect to automate end-to-end testing of websites without writing any code. Instead of dealing with complex Selenium scripts that need constant maintenance, Reflect lets product and engineering teams create and run web tests through an easy interface. This saves time and reduces bugs before code ships.

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

We live and are based in Villanova, PA. The company will remain there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Villanova is where we both live and work. It allows us to focus without distractions and support each other closely in a small team. We have the full stack and infrastructure here to build Reflect end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Reflect YC application?

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