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

We design and build 3D printed aerospike rocket engines for a 3-ton, 35-foot rocket. This rocket delivers 10-12 kg nanosatellites into low Earth and Sun-synchronous orbit. Our product focuses on the propulsion system that powers both lower and upper stages for small satellite launches.

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

We live in San Mateo, CA, and after YC, we plan to keep the company here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Mateo is where we are based now. It puts us close to other aerospace startups, suppliers, and potential partners in the Bay Area, which makes sense for building and testing rocket engines.
