Procurement Platform for Dental Offices

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

We built a procurement platform that aggregates product listings from many dental suppliers. Our platform shows dental offices real-time price comparisons and lets them order supplies from multiple vendors in one checkout. This cuts down their ordering time and reduces costs by making price shopping simple.

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

We don't have a fixed base yet. The founders are remote. After YC, we plan to be flexible but will likely be based where we can best grow the company.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started remote to keep costs low and access talent and feedback from dental offices anywhere. This also lets us stay lean while building product-market fit before considering a physical office.
