Wildfire의 사업 내용

We started Wildfire during our senior year at UC Berkeley as a safety alert app for colleges. Wildfire quickly grew beyond a campus safety tool to a social news app, which empowered people to spread the word quickly to their community when something significant happened nearby. Over six years, we've sent 65 million alerts to nearly 1 million users.

Wildfire

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Social news app

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

We built Wildfire to start as a safety alert app for college campuses. It lets people send and receive real-time alerts about incidents happening nearby. Over time, it shifted into a social news app focused on quickly spreading important information within local communities. People use it to stay informed about what's happening around them in a way that general news or social networks don't cover effectively.

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

We live in San Francisco, and we plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we're currently based and where our network and resources are strongest. It's also where a lot of early users and tech talent are accessible, so it made sense to continue here for YC and beyond.

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