What Aerotime does

A modern calendar that helps people prioritize their work by goal setting, time blocking, and reducing fragmentation created by randomly placed meetings and distracting Slack messages. Aerotime helps you create key goals for the week, helps break it down into tasks and meetings, and streamlines the calendar to support and align your team. This leads to people being effective and not busy.

Calendar that kills time fragmentation

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

We are building Aerotime, a calendar designed to reduce time fragmentation by helping teams set clear goals, block focused time, and align meetings around priorities. It cuts through the noise of random meetings and Slack distractions to make work actually productive instead of just busy.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and Bengaluru, KA, India. After YC, we would remain based in San Francisco while maintaining our engineering base in Bengaluru.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco for proximity to YC, investors, and customers in B2B SaaS productivity. Bengaluru is critical for engineering talent and costs. This split lets us build effectively while staying connected to the startup and customer ecosystem.
