Models and infra for coding agents

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

We build production-ready coding agents that combine specialized models with custom infrastructure. Our system processes codebases with 10,000+ token per second speed to merge and retrieve across million-line repositories within seconds. This allows engineering teams to automate complex code tasks reliably at scale.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the concentrated engineering talent and industry presence we need to grow a company focused on tools for software development. Our entire founding team is already local and well-networked here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Relace YC application?

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