What voize does

At voize, we believe the greatest gift to frontline workers is time - time to care, connect, and be present. Today, that time is lost to admin work that pulls nurses away from what matters most: people. We’re changing that by building the AI companion that frees nurses from admin, giving them back up to 30% of time. We don’t replace humans - we support and amplify their impact. Today, 1,500+ care facilities trust voize, and over 100,000 nurses rely on our AI companion** to ease their daily workload. Our mission is backed with a $50M Series A funding led by Balderton Capital, with support from HV Capital, Y Combinator and other leading VCs.

AI companion helping nurses save time

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

We built an AI assistant that listens to nurses' spoken notes and turns them into documentation automatically, freeing them from admin work. Our product integrates with healthcare IT systems to capture care details without interrupting nurses' routines, giving them back time for patients.

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

We live and work in Berlin, Germany. After YC, the company would remain based in Berlin.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Berlin has a strong tech scene with healthcare expertise, which matches our product and team well. We have built our network and user base around here and see no reason to relocate.

Is this the real voize YC application?

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