Harshit ran his Y Combinator Winter 2027 application through Flow on 22 Oct 2026. Here is Flow’s judgement on it: which of his lines hold, which fact leads each answer, and one answer drafted in full.
1 · Every line checked
Three of the five lines Flow checked.
“15,000 people use our product.”
Not in what you sharedSafer: 15,000 More than 10,000 people joined the Flow community. ▇▇▇
Corrected 25 Oct15,000 could not be backed either.
“Flow has generated ▇▇▇ in revenue.”
A stretchSafer: Flow earned ▇▇▇ in total between [confirm: years]; revenue from Nov 2025 to Sep 2026 was [confirm: amount from Stripe or bank].
“I built FlowApply myself using AI tools.”
What you shared backs thisFlowApply was the product’s working name; it is Flow now.
2 · What leads each answer
Flow picks the strongest fact for each question, and says what to leave out. Three of its twelve calls.
The fact
▇▇▇ people used withflow.co in the last week
Goes to“Only if Yes: How many active users or customers do you have?”…
Why
“A recent count of real use is what this asks for; the 15,000 more than 10,000 members are a community, not users.”
Corrected 25 Oct15,000 could not be backed either.
The fact
IIT JEE cleared and INSPIRE scholarship, 2012
Leave it outWhy
“A 2012 entrance result adds nothing next to a 2026 paper and a live product.”
The fact
Research paper accepted at a 2026 conference
Goes to“List any competitions/awards you have won, or papers you've published.?”
Why
“A paper accepted this year is your strongest listed item and beats the 2016 MIT workshop selection.”
3 · One answer, in full
Where a fact is missing, the draft says so in [confirm: …] instead of inventing one.
List any competitions/awards you have won, or papers you've published.
What this judges: Whether you have external, checkable recognition for your work
A paper accepted this year is your strongest item here, so it goes first. The older selections follow with their years and an honest label.

And one thing still missing, with where to find it:
Legal entity country, equity split, and investor name, amount, cap, security type and date are not in your CV.
Take them from your incorporation papers, cap table and SAFE or note documents. Check YC's rule about a parent company in an accepted jurisdiction.
