AI sales platform for home services

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

We build an AI-native sales platform tailored for home services companies, especially roofing and exterior specialists. Our product replaces multiple fragmented tools and autonomously executes the entire sales workflow end-to-end, from lead management to closing deals, without requiring manual intervention across different apps.

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

We are based in San Francisco and have a remote team. After YC, the company will continue to be based out of San Francisco with remote collaboration as needed.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco remains our base because it connects us to talent and investors, plus our founding team lives here. Remote work flexibility helps us hire diverse contributors who support our development and operations.
