Asset management software for industrial equipment

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

We provide software that helps manufacturing companies manage their fleets of industrial equipment like forklifts, cranes, and hoists. Our product offers detailed analytics and dashboards to track and optimize usage, maintenance, and safety of these assets so companies can make better business decisions about their fleets.

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

We live in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. After YC, we plan to base the company in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We split time between Los Angeles and San Francisco, but San Francisco is the hub for startups, customers, and talent we want to access after YC. That's why we plan to base the company there post-YC.
