Origins

We came to YC planning to build AI agents that would speed up government workflows. But, we realized that we’d be spending more of our time on government compliance, than on our actual product. Currently, companies seeking FedRAMP certification face two bad options: spend millions of dollars on consultants, or use loophole solutions that lock them into unfavorable terms. We're building the solution we wish existed - a straightforward path that helps software companies build lasting government partnerships.
