B2B Software and Services Startups funded by Y Combinator (YC) in Austin 2026

Vulcan uses AI to map every law, regulation, and court case in America, allowing government agencies and businesses to replace massive consulting projects with instant automated analyses. We call this "intelligent legal cartography." In 3 months, we went from zero customers to Virginia's Executive Order 51, requiring all state agencies to use Vulcan. Our initial agency partners use legal cartography to draft lawful regulations, respond to public comments on regulations, and instantly generate mandatory cost-benefit analyses. We have both public and private sector visions. In the public sector: we endeavor to automate the entire regulatory process end-to-end; replacing the consulting industrial complex with software. In the private sector: we plan to automate regulatory compliance, tackling the $4 trillion regulatory cost on the U.S. economy.

We help security, legal and sales teams get answers in seconds without depending on subject-matter experts. Our AI agent connects to every source that already holds the truth (Google Drive, Notion, Slack, email, website, trust center, SOC 2 docs, etc.).

Accountants build these workflows once and our agents do the work for them going forward, preserving their institutional memory and know-how.

Disclo is the first software for employers to collect, verify, and manage health disclosures and employee accommodation requests (HIPAA and SOC2 compliant, of course). We help employees secure the enhancements and protections they need to succeed in their careers without having to disclose their underlying medical condition to their employer. We handle the collection of that data, the verification, the secure data management, and much more. Using our patent-pending medical verification system, Disclo validates that an employee's accommodation request is legitimate and required, interacting with medical providers directly, so HR managers can focus on what they do best. We help companies stay compliant with EEOC, ADA, and HIPAA guidelines.
