Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Software to share and manage household assets

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

We built Airshared, a SaaS product that helps households share ownership and access to items like tools, appliances, or gadgets. It tracks who has what, schedules use, and handles permissions, reducing fights and inefficiencies in shared living spaces.

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

We don't have a fixed location; the team is distributed with no formal office. Post-YC, we would base the company where it makes sense for all founders to work effectively.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Since we are currently remote, we value flexibility. After YC, we would prioritize proximity or easy collaboration, but we want to remain lean until then.
