We're a YC backed company (YC S17). Nothing to hide, there's plenty of information on us online (CrunchBase, blog posts, TechCrunch, etc.)

If there's nothing to hide, why not publish it where people would check first, i. e. on your website?

There are countries where that's required by law. And while that may be on the rather too heavy side of regulation, I have on occasion rage-quit a vendor's site because I couldn't find this most basic information.

We're based in the United States, there are no such regulations. Many companies don't post information about their founders and investors on their homepage (Stripe, Airbnb, Google, Apple, etc.). You should be able to find information about us just as easily as any other YC company / SV company. We haven't taken any additional steps to hide anything. I'm not sure I understand your concern about this.
