Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Browser-based spreadsheet.

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

We are building Skysheet, a spreadsheet that runs entirely in the browser. It lets users create, edit, and manage spreadsheets without needing to install software or handle files locally. Our focus is on making spreadsheet work more accessible and collaborative through the web.

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

We do not have a fixed location now. After YC we plan to base the company wherever it makes the most sense to grow and build the product.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Since we are remote for now, we have flexibility to move or operate from anywhere after YC depending on networking and hiring opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Skysheet YC application?

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