In their words
Locke builds AI agents that help companies and governments work together. Our agents power Locke Government Affairs, the first AI-native government affairs firm, and are being deployed to government agencies across America. Every consequential American company in the 21st century will need to work with the government: AI labs, data centers, healthcare, defense, robotics, the list goes on. Locke is building the AI infrastructure to power the next era of public-private collaboration. Locke's team comes from The White House, Deloitte, the US Congress, and the Pentagon.

Is this you?
If you're behind Locke: 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. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
