Personal finance app for better spending decisions

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

We built Buxfer to help users track their spending and manage their finances in one place. It makes it easy for individuals to see where their money goes and plan budgets, tackling the problem that most people don't understand their own spending patterns. Our product connects to bank accounts and categorizes expenses so users can make smarter spending decisions without manual effort.

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

We live in Santa Clara, CA and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Santa Clara is where we both live and have our network. Staying here after YC makes sense because we have access to local talent and resources, which will help us iterate quickly and grow the business.
