The first AI-native document editor for long-form content

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

We're building Vespper, an AI-native editor focused on long-form documents like regulatory, compliance, and legal materials. It lets professionals create, edit, and review documents with full end-to-end traceability and complete searchability of source documents. This means every change can be tracked and every source can be found instantly, solving problems lawyers and compliance teams face with version confusion and lost context.

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

We live and work remotely. After YC, we will continue remote but plan to align availability for YC's schedule and network.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Because we are fully remote and our users are distributed, staying remote lets us focus on building the product without location constraints. YC's online and in-person programs fit our setup.
