The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
Founders, titles and bios as the company published them. Photographs are our own copies of the ones on that record, so they do not break when the original link expires.
No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

If you're behind Close: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
Sourced from the company's Y Combinator directory entry, from the company's own site, read directly on 2026-09-27 (close.com), and from the public GitHub account that record links to (closeio).
Each opens in a new tab, filled in for Close. With no account yet, you sign up free and land on the result.
