What Awtomic does
Awtomic powers DTC brands with an easy-to-use subscription management and discovery platform. Starting with a Shopify app, we'll give merchants the subscription product power of premium subscription brands like Dollar Shave Club and Ipsy. As we grow our support for more eCommerce platforms and merchants, we'll help customers discover new brands through cross-sells and make it easier for them to manage their subscriptions in one place.

Company
Awtomic
Dollar Shave Club as a platform.
We are building a subscription management platform tailored for direct-to-consumer brands, starting with a Shopify app. Our product lets merchants add and manage subscription products easily, giving them the same subscription capabilities as companies like Dollar Shave Club. We plan to extend support to more ecommerce platforms and provide customers with tools to discover, cross-sell, and manage multiple subscriptions in one place.
We live in Seattle, WA and operate remotely. Post-YC, the company will continue to be based in Seattle with remote flexibility.
Seattle is home for us and offers the right balance of access to talent and a lower cost of living. Our remote setup also lets us work flexibly without relocating just for YC.
