Workflows for repetitive customer-facing tasks

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

We built Beau to help teams manage and automate repetitive customer-facing workflows all in one place. Our product lets users build and visualize processes with clients outside their company, collect forms, accept payments, request approvals, and keep everyone updated without switching tools.

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

We live and work across Barcelona and Connecticut, with part of the team remote. After YC, we'll base the company mainly from these locations and remote setups.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose these locations because of where the founders live and work, making it easier to collaborate while accessing diverse talent and markets. We're comfortable being distributed.
