We’re Rohit and Michael, co-founders of Mimos. We’ve been building together since sixth grade—everything from mobile apps to algorithmic trading systems—and now we’re turning compliance into an advantage in the age of AI.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/McIKklZ0xHI\n\n**The Problem:**\n\nAI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) are replacing Google for high-value questions on health, wealth, and legal. Whoever they cite becomes the voice customers trust.\n\nRegulated firms should dominate this shift — they already have **compliance** as verifiable proof of authority. But that advantage is trapped behind a unique structural dynamic:\n\n* **Marketing** needs to move quickly to publish relevant, expert answers.\n* **Compliance** must carefully review every word to ensure regulatory safety.\n\nThis friction results in a drawn out publishing cycle, resulting in missed opportunity to rank in AI search.\n\n**Our Solution:**\n\nMimos makes it easy for regulated firms to get cited in AI answers by streamlining the path from insight to compliant content.\n\n* **Define your audience** — Capture your brand expertise and ICPs to guide tone, examples, and disclosures.\n* **Find the right questions** — Track the exact high-intent prompts your prospects ask AI using trend and citation data.\n* **See where you stand** — Monitor visibility by engine, track competitor citations, and measure share of voice.\n* **Act on opportunities** — Get prioritized recommendations for content, SEO, and distribution.\n* **Create faster** — Generate first drafts aligned to your brand and compliance needs.\n* **Speed up review** — Package answers with disclosures and claim checks so compliance can approve faster.\n\n**Result:** Insight → content → review → AI visibility — in minutes, not weeks. \n\n**Our Traction:**\n\n* Signed **5 paying customers** across finance, proptech, and wealth management within one month of launch.\n* Building an **active pipeline** in health, investing, proptech, and marketing.\n* Early usage already delivering **2× higher AI citation rates** compared to baseline content.\n\n**Our Team:**\n\n* **Michael (Co-Founder \u0026 CTO)** — Led the launch and integration of AI into Amazon Alexa devices, architected petabyte-scale data infrastructure at Coinbase, and built consumer websites/mobile apps reaching thousands of users. Brings deep expertise in AI, large-scale infrastructure, and online trust.\n* **Rohit (Co-Founder \u0026 CEO)** — Designed Azure’s high-throughput storage and auto-scaling infrastructure, working with OpenAI to support their training workloads. Brings experience in building and scaling complex cloud systems for high-demand, mission-critical applications.\n\nTogether, our backgrounds in high-performance infrastructure and AI underpin Mimos’s mission: helping regulated firms attract clients by enhancing their online visibility in the age of AI.\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\nWarm intros to Chief Marketing/Growth Officers or fractional CMOs at:\n\n* **Finance** (esp. wealth managers managing $300M+ AUM)\n* **Pharma / Biotech**\n* **Legal**\n* **Telehealth**\n\nAn email to [rohit@mimos-ai.com](mailto:rohit@mimos-ai.com) would be greatly appreciated!","slug":"OCV-mimos-answer-engine-optimization-for-regulated-companies","created_at":"2025-08-15T18:06:54.517Z","updated_at":"2026-06-19T22:31:15.234Z","total_vote_count":21,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OCV-mimos-answer-engine-optimization-for-regulated-companies","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":30701,"name":"Mimos","slug":"mimos","url":"https://www.trymimos.com/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/9f836a0c8c51e91ad3364666cbc06dd260a0a3c1.png","batch":"Summer 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["SaaS","LegalTech","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30701"}}
