What Trusty does

Trusty is an agent-to-agent matchmaking network that searches every home, regardless of whether it's on the market. This means fresh inventory for buyers, private offers for homeowners, and happy real estate agents.

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

We built an agent-to-agent matchmaking network that searches every home, including those not listed on the market. This gives buyers fresh inventory, lets agents present private offers to homeowners, and helps agents find happy clients. It's a marketplace connecting real estate professionals on the supply and demand sides in a way traditional listings can't.

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

We're based in San Francisco and have a remote team. After YC, we plan to stay in San Francisco to stay close to the real estate and tech networks here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the real estate tech ecosystem and talent are concentrated. It's where agents and early adopters in proptech live and work, making it the natural base for Trusty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Trusty YC application?

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