## What YCaaS sells

- Clone any YC company or comparable SaaS product.
- $1,000 one-time price.
- Source code delivered to the customer.
- Live deployment included.
- Lifetime feature-match: when the upstream product ships a feature, YCaaS ships the equivalent in the clone.
- No subscription, no seats, no revocable SaaS license, no VC funding.

## Positioning

YCaaS is an anti-subscription software business. It argues that many AI-native SaaS companies are conventional software wrappers around rented models, integrations, schemas, prompts, evals, and UI. YCaaS sells owned software instead of recurring access.

## FAQ

## Aren't “AI for X” companies AI, not SaaS?
No. The model is rented from OpenAI or Anthropic. The startup pays the same API you can. What the startup actually owns is the schema, the prompts, the evals, the integrations, and the UI that wires it all together. That's not a model. That's software. That's what we ship.

## What if YCaaS shuts down?
Your clone is already yours. We ship the source code on delivery, not on subscription renewal. There's no server of ours you depend on. If we disappear tomorrow, your code, your deployment, and your ability to keep shipping against the codebase are all unaffected. Feature-match ends because we're the ones doing it. The product you paid for keeps running forever.

## Is this ethical?
More ethical than renting the tools of your trade from a landlord. Proprietary SaaS is designed by incentive to mistreat users over time: lock-in, silent nerfs, surprise upcharges, forced migrations. We sell you the deed instead of the lease.

## How fast is feature-match?
About a month from upstream ship to your instance. Sometimes days. Occasionally longer when the release is structurally deep. We'll tell you the clock up front for each one.

## What if the target company shuts down?
Your clone keeps running. You own the code. Feature-match pauses because there's nothing left to match.

## Can I resell the clone under my own brand?
Yes. You own the code. Ship it, license it, white-label it, sell seats, do whatever. That's the point of owning software.

## Is everyone on the marquee actually a YC company?
No. Any easy-to-clone SaaS is fair game. YC is just the heuristic. Paste a URL in the request box.

## Do you clone real companies?
Not yet. We start with SaaS / software. That's where rent extraction is worst and cloning is cleanest. Hardware, regulated industries, and deep science are on the roadmap, not the menu.
