For YC Founders

We ship while you sleep. Your AI runs 24/7.

A lean AI engineering team in a timezone that gives you round-the-clock coverage. We build during your night, ship by your morning, and keep production running while you focus on growth.

✓ Production code by your morning✓ 24/7 monitoring and ops✓ No hiring. No equity dilution.

The Timezone Advantage

Your company never stops building

While SF sleeps, our team in India is shipping features, fixing bugs, and monitoring production. You wake up to commits, not blockers.

Your Day (SF / NYC)
  • Review overnight PRs and deploys
  • Async standup: priorities for next cycle
  • Focus on product, customers, fundraising
  • Flag blockers before you sign off
Your Night (In India)
  • Ship features and fixes you flagged
  • Monitor production alerts and respond
  • Run deployments and integration tests
  • Code ready for your morning review

Result: 2x the productive hours. Zero the hiring overhead.
