What YourQuote does

YourQuote is a social writing app that helps regular people share their short-form creative writing. Much like how Instagram has turned each one of us into a photographer, YourQuote has turned 2.5 million people in India into amateur writers.

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

We built YourQuote, a social writing app that lets anyone share short creative writing easily. It's like Instagram for writers. People use it to express themselves with quotes, poems, and stories. Our product combines simple writing tools with a social network for writers to connect and get discovered.

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

We live in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The company is based here but operates partially remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru is a tech hub with access to talent and infrastructure, which helps us move faster. Being based here also keeps us close to our core users in India.

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