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

We built an AI agent that automatically finds prospects, analyzes their buying signals, and drafts personalized outreach messages. It all happens from Slack - users tell Ciro who they sell to, and it books 5-8 meetings per week by writing outreach that sounds like a top sales rep who's done thorough research.

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

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

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are now and where the tech and sales ecosystems we serve are concentrated. It's also where we, the founders, live and collaborate.
