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

We are building Waffle, a platform where anyone can discover and build custom AI chatbots without coding. Users start by chatting with ready-made bots for different tasks or entertainment, then quickly customize or create their own bots for work, life, or fun.

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

We live in London and Waffle is based here. We plan to keep the company in London after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We built Waffle in London because it's where we live and know the community well. Staying local helps us move faster and stay close to early users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Waffle YC application?

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