About Us
We are a well-funded SF Bay Area startup backed by tier-1 investors. We’re a small, cracked team in stealth, building an agentic platform for the hardest, least glamorous, but most valuable, software problems inside the Global 2000. Think decades-old business logic, mission-critical systems, and colossal codebases where every percent of reliability matters. Our product blends program analysis, developer tooling, and code generation to turn multi-year enterprise transformations into something teams can do in a fraction of the time, with verification, auditability, and real-world guarantees. Join a talent-dense founding team with meaningful equity and real growth upside at the intersection of ERP and artificial intelligence.
