What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a platform that blends immersive virtual and augmented reality travel experiences with social discovery, like Disney meets Airbnb Experiences.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to base the company here after YC as well.
