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

We built a free website where users can quickly create event invitations and organize groups. The product lets people not only send invitations but also coordinate with attendees before, during, and after events, making it easier to manage everything in one place.

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

We live in Columbia, MD, and the company would be based there initially, though we understand YC is in the Bay Area.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started here because this is where we live and work well together. Being local has made early development and testing easier because we know the community and our initial users better.
