Make all your live SaaS demos impactful

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

We built a browser extension that sales teams use during live SaaS demos. It shows the exact talking points, customer stories, and feature explanations relevant to the part of the product you're demoing and who you're talking to. It also tracks notes and metrics back in the CRM and lets you share slides and images inline to keep the demo focused and on track.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and Seattle, WA, respectively, and operate remotely. After YC, we'd base the company in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our locations reflect where the founders are based. San Francisco is a natural place to be after YC because of the network, investors, and hiring opportunities.
