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

We built a video distribution platform that helps brand marketers run native video ad campaigns at scale.

It also includes fraud protection and a large audience data pool for precise targeting.

We live in San Francisco, CA, and Virool is based there as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our target clients - brands and media companies - are concentrated. Being close to them and potential partners is a must for us to build relationships and iterate quickly.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Virool в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Virool (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Virool представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
