Fast, affordable international peer-to-peer delivery

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

We built Envyl to enable people to send packages internationally through trusted travelers going the same route. Our platform connects senders with travelers who deliver items quickly and at a lower cost than traditional shipping. This solves high fees and slow shipping times for cross-border delivery.

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

We live in Brooklyn, New York and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Brooklyn gives us access to a diverse community of international travelers and senders. It's where we live and work, so we can iterate quickly with our early users.

Is this the real Envyl YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Envyl's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Envyl would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
