Real-world data for multimodal and embodied AI

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

We collect and curate high-quality human interaction data in diverse real-world environments to power the training of multimodal AI and robotics models. Our platform connects data requesters - teams building embodied and multimodal AI - with human operators who provide labeled, context-rich data that these models need but can't generate reliably on their own.

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

We live in Palo Alto, CA, and the company is based here. It will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Palo Alto places us close to leading AI research and robotics companies, potential customers, and talent. Staying here lets us stay plugged into that ecosystem and iterate quickly with early users nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Sureform YC application?

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