Overview
Craze is a YC S22 company whose public web presence is inconsistent: current site pages commonly describe a multi-model AI workspace / workflow automation platform (with recruiting, HR, payroll, and productivity use cases), while the homepage currently also markets an AI video editor. Public sources also conflict on location, with LinkedIn/website metadata pointing to Dover, Delaware and YC/secondary sources pointing to Mumbai. The business appears founder-led, small-team, and content-driven.
