Your team's intelligent start page

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

We built Dashworks to aggregate all your work stuff - documents, messages, tickets, knowledge - scattered across apps into one intelligent start page. It helps teams get on the same page and actually get things done by cutting through the noise and connecting relevant information in one place.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where most of our users and the tech ecosystem we rely on are. Being here helps us recruit, talk to customers directly, and stay connected to the AI and SaaS communities driving productivity tools.
