Note taking workspace for B2B sales teams

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

We are building BlitzIQ, a note taking workspace tailored specifically for B2B sales teams. It helps salespeople capture, organize, and share context from customer interactions so teams can collaborate better and close deals faster. Our focus is on reducing friction during sales cycles by making it easy to keep track of who said what and what the next steps are.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here too after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us at the center of the B2B tech ecosystem and close to potential customers and partners. Being here helps us move fast and get direct feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real BlitzIQ YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from BlitzIQ's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like BlitzIQ would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
