Company
Capture
All your notes, tasks, and files in one super-fast workspace.
We're building Capture as an operating system for life - a tool that lets you collect and organize notes, tasks, and files in one fast, flexible workspace. It's designed to help people keep track of what matters, think through difficult concepts, and plan around important goals. We want to tame the constant flood of information everyone encounters daily by making capture, retrieval, and organization seamless.
We live in New York, NY, and the company will be based there as well as partly remote after YC.
We're based in New York because that's where the four of us are located. We operate partly remote and will continue this way after YC to leverage the strengths and availability of our team.
