AI-native Zocdoc for doctor-patient calls

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

We're building a system that uses AI voice agents trained to sound and act like a clinic's best call center reps, so doctors can answer patient calls 24/7 without extra staff. Our product makes it easy for patients to reach their providers anytime, handling appointment scheduling and questions by voice.

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

We live and work in New York City, NY, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York City because that's where we started building relationships with doctors and piloting our product. Being close to our users helps us understand their workflows and improve the tech faster.

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