Indexing human dialogue through digital products

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

We are building a platform that indexes and structures human conversations across digital channels. The product captures dialogue context, organizes it for search and analysis, and integrates with tools teams use daily. Our goal is to make dialogue, the core of human interaction, easily accessible and actionable in digital workflows.

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 Costream based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco because it keeps us close to the pulse of technology innovation and potential customers in the consumer internet space. This location also allows us to tap into local talent and investor networks.
