What supercontrast does

At Hive we worked on a product called Gencraft, an ai art generator we ramped from 0 to $1M ARR in 6 months. This inspired us to build supercontrast, an AI Copilot which empowers anyone to create and refine high quality designs and assets.

AI Co-Pilot for Design

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

We are building supercontrast, an AI Co-Pilot that helps engineers, product managers, and designers quickly create and refine high-quality design assets. It uses AI to assist at every step so teams can iterate faster and avoid the usual back-and-forth with designers.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company will be based in the Bay Area after YC, though remote work is an option.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live, has the strongest design and AI talent, and YC is based here. Being local helps us recruit early users and build connections.
