Claude Code for GTM

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

We build Rocketeer, a platform that lets teams run GTM agents from their laptops. It layers tables, company views, enrichment, ranking, outbound campaigns, and sync on top of Claude Code and Codex. Users get ready-to-use skills for the main data and GTM APIs but can still customize or extend everything with the underlying AI coding. The product targets GTM engineers and operators who want to automate and control sales and marketing workflows more flexibly than current point tools allow.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco keeps us close to key GTM customers, AI communities, and potential future hires. It also aligns with YC's location, letting us fully focus on the program and customer conversations.

Is this the real Rocketeer YC application?

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