API to embed investment accounts

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

We built an API that allows companies holding consumer deposits, like savings apps, to embed managed investment accounts directly into their services. This eliminates the complexity and friction of building investment products from scratch and helps these companies offer professional money management to their users.

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

We live primarily in San Francisco, CA and the company will be based there after YC, with a partially remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a fintech hub with access to talent and partners in financial services. We also support remote work to tap into talent outside the city.
