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

We built an accelerated high school program that lets motivated students graduate with real accredited credits in 4 months instead of 4 years. Our product combines online coursework and real-world projects to build actionable portfolios alongside diplomas. We're redesigning school for a future shaped by artificial general intelligence.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for edtech and AI talent, which aligns with our focus on education for a post-AGI world. Staying here keeps us close to potential partners and early users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Units YC application?

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