Open-source customer engagement & messaging automation

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

We built Dittofeed to automate customer messaging across multiple channels - email, SMS, mobile push, WhatsApp, and more. You can self-host it for free or use our cloud offering if you want a managed option. We also provide ways for other SaaS products to embed Dittofeed's messaging tools directly into their own platforms.

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

We live in Los Angeles, CA and the company is based there, with a remote-friendly setup.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in LA because it's where we live and work, but we're remote-friendly since our customers and team aren't location-dependent.
