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

We're building a general intelligence AI model that simulates real-world physical systems evolving over time. This model helps engineers, product designers, and researchers predict how complex physical systems behave dynamically, improving decision-making and innovation processes.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco provides us access to a dense network of AI talent and potential users in engineering and design fields. Being here helps us stay close to the tech ecosystem critical to building and scaling Trim.

Is this the real Trim YC application?

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