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

We built an AI agent that autonomously finds, verifies, and patches security vulnerabilities in codebases like a human security engineer. It scans business logic with context awareness to find nuanced errors and automates the full audit cycle, producing zero false positive reports. Early use cases include uncovering bugs in Google, Supabase, and other critical platforms.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan for the company to remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all live and where the developer and security engineering communities are dense. Staying here keeps us close to technical talent and potential early enterprise customers.
