Imgix의 사업 내용

Nobody should have to employ expensive imaging scientists and engineers for their business to get the most out of their visual media. This is where imgix has your back. imgix is a platform for managing, processing, rendering, optimizing, and delivering your existing visual assets so that you can meet the demands of your business and your team can stay focused on what they do best. The business demands on web visual media can blindside even the most hyper-aware content teams and developers. Just to be competitive on the Internet, you need your images to be sized perfectly to every device, served in one of any of a half dozen web formats, optimized to the absolute best perceptual quality while maintaining pinpoint performance, and distributed to wherever your users are, anywhere in the world. And that is just the baseline. Next-level imaging concerns like copyright, licensing, accessibility, moderation, illegal or explicit content, "fake news", and more, can threaten your business at any moment if not handled properly. Get any of these things wrong and you are shedding revenue, ceding ground to competitors, and potentially exposing your business to extreme liability. By working with imgix's powerful APIs, SDKs, user interfaces, and integrations, you can rest assured that any demands on your images and videos will always be met, now and into the future, without you having to invest in building it yourself or patching together a mishmash of open source and third-party technologies. Our platform is designed to ensure that your images are always working for your business and never against it. imgix was launched through the famed Y Combinator accelerator program. Its customers include Google, Lyft, Kickstarter, AirBnb, Coursera, Bonobos, Spotify, Vimeo, Bustle, and many others.

Company

Company name

Imgix

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

The platform for your visual media.

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

We built a platform that manages, processes, renders, optimizes, and delivers images and videos on demand through APIs and integrations. It handles everything from resizing and format conversion to global delivery and compliance at scale, so businesses don't need imaging experts or to cobble together multiple tools.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco puts us close to potential customers and engineers experienced in web infrastructure, which helps us build and grow faster.

자주 묻는 질문

Imgix의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

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