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

We built a real-time signal intelligence platform for GTM teams. Our product watches public sources like posts, code commits, blogs, and announcements to catch buying signals the moment they appear. Users define their ideal customer profile and which signals matter, and we deliver a condensed, filtered feed focused on intent to help sales teams act immediately.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco keeps us close to a strong B2B tech ecosystem and prospective customers, and it's convenient for working with YC and investors.
