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

We built a multisig wallet on Solana tailored for startups and DAOs to securely manage their digital assets. Instead of a single founder controlling funds, multiple team members or stakeholders can jointly approve transactions, reducing risk and increasing transparency.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the hub for crypto startups and talent, which makes it easier to recruit, network, and stay close to our users and ecosystem.
