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

We built Triplit to handle data persistence, state management, and realtime synchronization in web apps. It's a full-stack platform so developers don't have to wire together separate tools for these core problems. We focus on speed and simplicity for developers building reactive, fast web apps.

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

We live and work remotely, and the company is remote-based now and would stay flexible after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We have never been centralized in one location. Remote lets us tap talent and move fast without relocating, which suits our small team and early stage well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Triplit YC application?

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