In-store analytics AI assistant

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

We built Aura Vision to turn existing security cameras in retail stores into customer insight tools. Our AI analyzes foot traffic, customer behavior, and store performance so retailers can optimize their sales floor without buying new hardware or intrusive tech.

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

We live in London and the company is based here. Post-YC, we'd continue operating from London.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London is where we built the product, found our first users, and where our team and infrastructure are. It's a good hub for retail tech and European retail chains.
