AWS for precision manufacturing

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

We are building a platform that provides cloud-based manufacturing infrastructure for precision fabrication tasks. Our product lets customers remotely manage and scale manufacturing operations as easily as deploying software in the cloud, targeting industrial users in robotics and commercial space launch who need consistent, high-precision builds.

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

We are based in San Francisco, CA with a remote team spread around. After YC, the company will stay headquartered in San Francisco to stay close to key partners and talent.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco offers access to manufacturing engineers, robotics companies, and space startups who have been early supporters. Being local accelerates collaboration and feedback loops essential for industrial customers.
