Vibe-code rescue for San Francisco founders
San Francisco has the highest concentration of YC-backed founders anywhere, and a quarter of one recent YC batch shipped a codebase that was roughly 95% AI-generated. That's not a red flag on its own, but it does mean a technical due-diligence conversation is coming sooner than most founders expect. We work remotely with San Francisco teams during Pacific hours, no office visit required, and produce a security scorecard investors' technical partners actually take seriously. Rapid Diagnostic starts at $1,500, credited toward the full audit if you go ahead, same pricing as everywhere else we work.
Why does this matter more in San Francisco specifically?
The density of funded, fast-moving startups means AI-built codebases get in front of sophisticated investors and acquirers faster than almost anywhere else.
The highest YC density anywhere
More founders here are shipping largely AI-generated MVPs than in any other city, which means more codebases that skipped a real security review on the way to a demo day.
Investors here ask harder questions
San Francisco investors and their technical partners are more likely to actually open the codebase during diligence, not just take the pitch deck's word for it.
How does remote work for a San Francisco founder?
We schedule around Pacific time when that's what works for you, and keep async updates flowing so nothing waits on a single call.
Calls in your working hours
No 6am calls required. We fit the diagnostic and check-ins into your day.
Written, not just verbal
Every diagnostic comes as a document you can forward to a co-founder or investor directly.
Identical everywhere
$1,500+ diagnostics, $50k–$150k rescues, $150k–$500k rebuilds and takeovers, no city premium.
San Francisco founder questions
Do you work with San Francisco founders in person?
We're a fully remote team, so all work happens over video calls, written diagnostics, and shared repos rather than in-person meetings, which lets us start faster than scheduling an office visit would.
Can you get my app ready for YC or investor diligence?
Yes. We produce a security scorecard, architecture review, and remediation roadmap written to be handed directly to an investor's technical partner, and we work on a diligence timeline when there's a deadline attached.
A quarter of one YC batch shipped almost entirely AI-generated code. Is that a problem?
Not by itself. AI-generated code is common now, including at YC. The problem is when it hasn't been security-reviewed, which is common enough that independent scans found 98% of Supabase-backed vibe-coded apps had at least one issue.
How fast can you start for a San Francisco-based founder?
Triage usually begins within 24 to 48 hours regardless of where you're based. Tell us your timeline when you reach out.
