Checked away from the directory entry. What is below does not come from the company's Y Combinator page.
Driver compiles codebase context ahead of time, the way a compiler compiles code. The output is symbol-complete, exhaustive, and structured for consumption by AI agents via MCP.

Adam did his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. (abd) at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Control and Estimation, respectively.
Daniel Hensley
Founder
Daniel was co-founder and Head of Engineering at Infinity AI. Before that, he helped run the boutique software engineering firm Edge Analytics.

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.

Is this you?
If you're behind Driver: 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.
