Autonomous drones that scan warehouse inventory

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

We build autonomous indoor drones that fly around warehouses to scan and track inventory. Our software controls the drones to navigate tight spaces safely and collect analytics to automate inventory counts and spotting anomalies in stock. This helps warehouses reduce manual labor and errors in inventory tracking.

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

We live and work in Mountain View, CA. After YC, we would remain headquartered here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mountain View is where our team is based and has the resources to build and test indoor flying drones for warehouses. We want to stay close to the engineers and partners who specialize in robotics and supply chain technology.
