Caution의 사업 내용

Caution is a hosting platform for software you can't afford to get hacked. It simplifies and extends confidential compute, and lets developers deploy workloads to secure enclaves in minutes and give customers, auditors, and counterparties cryptographic proof that production is running the exact reviewed source code, build, configuration, and runtime - not an opaque binary controlled by a cloud operator or internal admin. Confidential computing hardware exists, but the tooling is too fragmented and incomplete for most teams to use well. Today, attestation often proves only that a binary has a certain hash; it does not prove what source code produced that binary. Building the missing deployment, reproducibility, and verification layer requires specialized security engineering and often locks teams into one cloud or hardware stack. Caution turns that into a simple git-based workflow that builds reproducible enclave images, provisions infrastructure, and lets anyone independently verify what is running. We built Caution after years securing high-risk systems through Distrust, where we worked with hedge funds, custodians, blockchain teams, cloud platforms, and critical grid operators on systems responsible for more than $600B in assets. Again and again, the same problem showed up: teams running mission-critical infrastructure could not reliably prove what was executing in production. As AI, fintech, healthcare, and regulated data collaboration move into the cloud, "trust us" is no longer enough. Caution is a general-purpose platform: if it runs on a server, it can run verifiably on Caution. We're starting where trust failures cost the most, but we believe verifiable compute will become the default way software runs, the same way HTTPS became the default way it's served. Infrastructure you can verify, not trust.

Hosting for software you can't afford to have hacked

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

Caution is a hosting platform for running workloads in secure enclaves. Developers deploy code to confidential compute hardware, get cryptographic proof of what's running, and let customers or auditors independently verify production matches the reviewed source, build, and config. We manage the build, reproducibility, and attestation, and provide a git-based workflow so infra teams don't have to be low-level security experts to get real verifiability.

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

We are based in George Town, Cayman Islands now, and will keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We set up in George Town for regulatory and legal reasons. The Cayman Islands is a known international base for infrastructure, fintech, and security-focused startups.

자주 묻는 질문

Caution의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Caution의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Caution과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
