Sensor-enabled marketplace for repeat purchases

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

We are building a marketplace that connects sensor-enabled devices directly to repeat purchases of household staples, focusing on coffee. Our product detects when customers are running low using IoT sensors and automatically triggers orders, so users never run out of their essentials.

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

We currently live in Seattle, WA, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Seattle is where we both live and work. It offers a strong tech community and access to talent, making it the best place for us to grow Bottomless.
