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

We build a design tool embedded directly into e-commerce stores that lets their customers personalize products like phone cases, mugs, and t-shirts. Store owners can add our tool to their sites so users can customize designs before purchase without leaving the store.

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

We live in St. Louis, MO and operate remotely. The company is based in St. Louis and will remain so after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in St. Louis because it's home for us and offers a cost-effective base to build a remote team. We can hire talent without the high costs of bigger tech hubs while staying connected to our customers.
