Premier growth platform for restaurants

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

We built Boostly to help restaurants attract new guests and turn them into regulars. Our platform uses AI-powered SEO, paid ads, and behavioral-based text marketing with gamified engagement to drive much higher guest interaction than other tools. We also handle reputation management with AI, and our patented processes grow opted-in subscriber lists faster than anyone else in the market.

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

We live and work in Lehi, Utah. The company is based here as well and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Lehi because it's our home and where we built the product. It's a growing tech hub with the talent and infrastructure we need. There's no reason to move when our customers and team are here.
