Company
Chirply
Crowdsourced design marketplace for paper goods
We built Chirply as a marketplace where our community of artists and design lovers submit and vote on designs for everyday paper products like greeting cards, notebooks, and wrapping paper. The best designs get made into real products the community wants to use.
We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here during and after YC.
San Francisco is where we live and work; it's also where the creative and startup communities we rely on are concentrated. Being here lets us connect directly with artists and early customers.
