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

We built a platform that lets custom screen printers connect their multiple vendor accounts to compare prices, inventory, and shipping times all in one place. Users can manage vendor carts, checkout across vendors, and track their purchases with analytics. It saves them from juggling spreadsheets and multiple websites.

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

We live in New York, NY, and the company would be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where our team is based and where most custom screen printers we talk to operate. Staying local keeps us close to users and any vendor or printer partners we develop.
