Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Mobile calendar for fun activities with friends

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

We built a mobile calendar focused on tracking and organizing the fun stuff you do with friends. It's designed to make social planning easy, unlike traditional work calendars. People use it to see what's going on, share plans, and avoid double-booking social events.

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

We don't have a fixed location now and the company is remote; after YC, we'll base the company wherever makes the most sense to grow.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started remote because it fits the product and team size. After YC, we'd be flexible depending on where opportunities and talent are.
