Platform to collect and analyze in-product user feedback

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

We built a simple SDK that product teams integrate into their apps to ask users questions during their actual product journeys. This lets teams gather contextual, real-time feedback instead of relying on out-of-context surveys or guesswork. The feedback is aggregated and analyzed quickly, helping product teams identify user pain points, improve retention, and reduce churn.

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

We are primarily based in Bengaluru, India, with a distributed remote team. After YC, we would continue to operate from here while accessing YC's network globally.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Bengaluru because it's a tech hub with great engineering talent and a supportive startup ecosystem. Being remote-friendly also lets us tap skilled people globally without relocating everyone.
