What Bloom does

Bloom is the brand layer for agents - it turns brand into infrastructure that any agent, app, or platform can call. Ingest your brand from anywhere - decks, websites, social, Figma, and more. Bloom systemises your brand, enabling the creation of on-brand outputs like images, video, video, copy, and more, through the web app, the API, or MCP. We're building brand-as-infrastructure for the AI era.

Brand infrastructure for AI

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

We are building Bloom, a system that ingests brand assets from decks, websites, social media, and design files like Figma, then turns that into structured brand infrastructure. Our platform enables companies to generate on-brand outputs - images, video, copy - via a web app, API, or managed creative platform integration. Essentially, we make brand guidelines programmable and accessible for AI agents and apps.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right tech and customer ecosystem for this kind of AI + brand infrastructure startup. Being here gives us better access to early users who need brand consistency in AI outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Bloom YC application?

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