No-code scoring engine identifying your most engaged upsell opps

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

Breadcrumbs is a no-code scoring engine that analyzes customer and prospect data to identify hidden revenue opportunities for sales teams. It surfaces the most engaged upsell opportunities so sales reps focus on the right deals at the right time, reducing the time to value from months to minutes.

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

We live and work from San Francisco, CA and remotely. After YC we plan to keep the company based in San Francisco with a remote-friendly approach.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we've built our team and product initially, and it's a hub for sales and analytics technology customers we serve. Being remote-friendly allows us to scale talent beyond the city as needed.
