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

We're building Risklytics, an insurance company that covers frontier tech such as robotics, physical AI, and data centers. We use AI to assess complex technology risks and can bind tailored insurance policies through a 6-question flow - serving companies traditional insurers simply reject. Our core product is end-to-end underwriting and policy issuance designed specifically for customers pushing the frontier in physical and data infrastructure.

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

We are based in San Francisco, and the company will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most of our early customers are building robotics, AI hardware, and next generation infrastructure. We want to be close to those teams.
