Company Launches

Hey, YC community! We’re the team at Swif, and we're excited to introduce our Swif Chrome Extension, designed to solve the growing issue of Shadow IT in organizations. As businesses scale, it's easy for employees to start using unauthorized SaaS apps, creating security and compliance risks that IT teams struggle to monitor.

What’s the problem? Shadow IT refers to apps and services used by employees without IT’s knowledge or approval. This often leads to unmonitored data access, increasing the risk of breaches, non-compliance, and lost productivity. Even well-managed IT teams find it hard to track all software being used across departments.

How does Swif’s Chrome Extension fix this? Our Chrome Extension helps you automatically identify and monitor employee access to unauthorized SaaS apps. With real-time visibility, Swif detects email and password sign-ups to unapproved apps, enabling IT teams to track usage, ensure compliance, and take action quickly—before a security risk escalates. The extension fits seamlessly into your existing IT workflow, providing a single dashboard for comprehensive oversight.

Swif’s strength lies in its automation. Instead of manually hunting down unapproved apps, our extension monitors usage, generates compliance reports, and offers automated solutions for securing access. This gives you control without adding complexity, saving both time and resources.

Why did we build it? The idea came from our experience working with companies overwhelmed by Shadow IT problems. We saw firsthand how much of a challenge it is to maintain visibility over what employees are using, especially in remote and hybrid work environments. Our mission was to create a tool that does the heavy lifting for IT departments, making it easier to manage without sacrificing security or efficiency.

What’s next? We’re excited to offer early access to the Swif Chrome Extension! If you’re managing a fleet of devices or overseeing IT security, sign up to be among the first to try our solution and take control of Shadow IT.

Call to Action: Ready to tackle Shadow IT? Create a Swif account, download the extension, and start managing your apps with ease!

Hear from the founders

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)

We have 10 people on the team. I was the co-founder of LeadIQ, the leading sales intelligence platform. I managed a fast-growing team of 50 remote employees and onboarded everyone while creating a platform that handled millions of dollars every year. Mert is the CTO and he has over 10 years of experience building device security. Mert and I have both experienced issues of device security and Mert has been building a similar solution for the past 5 years. Jeremy is our sales. He was a former YC founder and recently joined us to drive our sales. He used to host virtual YC demo days.

How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?

Our batch mentor guided us on product iteration and helped us with pitch practices. We genuinely appreciate Tim, Aaron, and Kevin’s mentorship to help us grow!

How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?

We worked with many YC companies to help with their device management and compliance needs. We also launched our own YC deal to help new YC batch companies can quickly ramp up their remote device management.

What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?

In 2022, we discovered the power of ChatGPT and realized that we can leverage its platform to simplify device management and remote employee management. This was the pivot point of our product.

What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
