Accelerate software development with fast CI infra

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

We build WarpBuild, cloud runners for GitHub Actions that speed up CI builds by 10x. Our product cuts build times to around 30 seconds and reduces costs by roughly 90%. This means engineering teams spend less time waiting and more time shipping.

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

We're based in San Francisco with some team members remote. After YC we'll remain headquartered here while keeping remote flexibility.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to software engineering hubs and potential customers, while remote work lets us hire top talent from anywhere.
