Data Quality & Playback Platform

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

We built a SaaS platform that lets companies observe, repair, and replay data in streaming systems like Kafka. It helps engineering teams fix broken or missing data in their pipelines without manually sifting through logs or rebuilding upstream sources.

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

We live in Portland, OR, and plan to keep the company based remotely with a core presence there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Portland has a good tech talent pool and quality of life, so it works well. Our team is distributed remote-friendly since we focus on developer tools and infrastructure, which don't require a physical office.
