VOYGR의 사업 내용

VOYGR is a better maps API every agent and AI app will need. Google says '4.2 stars, open till 10 - VOYGR knows the chef left, wait times doubled, and locals moved on. Our intelligent local search combines accurate place data with fresh web context - news, articles, and events. We expand beyond 10-15 map attributes into infinite, queryable place profiles, enabling agents to reason and act in the real world. Maps are no longer browsed - LLMs/agents use them to reason and act. 20M+ apps/websites, up to 40% of search queries, and 20% of LLM prompts need local context. 10-15 attributes per place are not enough for AI. Places change constantly - restaurants close, hours change, businesses move. LLMs struggle with semantic queries “Specialty coffee shops in SF with Wi-Fi, popular with YC founders”. Agents cannot reliably “parse half the internet” - they need real-world ontology We’re experienced builders in maps, search, and ML to solve this. Vlad knows this space inside and out - he worked on the Google Maps APIs GTM, plus firsthand customer experience from building in ridesharing and travel. Yarik has spent over a decade leading ML/search teams at Apple, Google, and Meta. Google Places alone is a $XXB/Yr monopoly. Agents turn it into a transactional layer opportunity for local commerce and ads.

Company

Company name

VOYGR

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Real-world place intelligence for AI apps

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

We are building a maps API that combines traditional place data with fresh, real-time web context like news, articles, and events. Unlike existing map APIs that offer only 10-15 static attributes per place, ours delivers dynamic, endlessly queryable place profiles agents and AI apps can use to reason about real-world conditions, like closures or updated hours. This helps AI agents answer complex queries about local places and act reliably in the real world.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hub for AI startups and maps technology. Both of us live here and have deep networks in the industry.
