Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We build and operate games and game growth platforms

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

We build tools and infrastructure that help game developers launch, grow, and operate games more effectively. Our platform supports user acquisition, retention, and live operations, making it easier for studios to manage their player base and game economy without building everything in-house.

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

We are distributed across Austin, TX; San Francisco, CA; and remote locations. After YC, we plan to continue being distributed but with a stronger presence in the Bay Area.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose our current locations based on where the founders live and have networks. Austin and San Francisco give us access to talent and key gaming partners, while remote work lets us tap into a broader pool. YC's Bay Area network will help us accelerate partnerships and hiring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Windwalk YC application?

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