Share full resolution photos with friends

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

We built Divvyshot to let people share full resolution photos with their friends easily. Unlike typical photo sharing sites that compress images, we keep the original quality so users can share clear, detailed photos without losing anything. The product focuses on simplifying sharing among tight social groups.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live and work in San Francisco, which is also the hub for tech and startups. Staying here after YC makes sense because of access to talent, networking, and investors.
