AI to understand engineering work

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

Weave uses AI to analyze engineering activity. It connects data from tools engineers use - code, tickets, design - to provide teams with better insights into what their engineering work actually looks like and how it drives product outcomes. This is not just raw metrics; it's contextual understanding that helps managers and engineers see what's happening under the hood.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company will also be based in San Francisco after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco because it's where engineering teams working on complex products are concentrated, and where we can stay close to our early users and partners. YC is also based here, so staying put makes sense for networking and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Weave YC application?

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