Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Your key to the hotel market.

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

We built a database-driven SaaS that lets users find out who owns any hotel property in the Caribbean and Latin America and access their contact information. It's designed for sales teams, brokers, and anyone who needs direct access to hotel owners, saving them time digging through fragmented data.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all live and have access to a strong tech community and talent pool. Being here helps us build and scale our SaaS efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Bystreet YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Bystreet's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Bystreet would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
