What Bracket does

Bracket is the two-way data pipeline between popular business tools and backend databases. When ops teams update data in Salesforce or Airtable, and engineers update data in the database, Bracket connects the two sources to reflect the same information.

Two-way syncs between business tools and databases

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

We are building Bracket, a two-way data pipeline that syncs data between business tools like Salesforce and Airtable and backend databases. When operations teams update data in their tools and engineers update the database, Bracket keeps both in sync automatically. This eliminates manual data reconciliation and reduces errors, enabling ops and engineering teams to work from the same up-to-date information.

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

We live in New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA. After YC, the company will be based in one of these locations, depending on where the team decides to focus.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York and Los Angeles because that's where the three of us live. These locations put us close to customers using Salesforce and Airtable and near strong engineering communities.
