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

We built Eze as an all-in-one platform for IT asset management. It tracks laptops, phones, and licenses from purchase through retirement with live visibility across the company. Users can order new equipment directly from vetted suppliers at competitive prices and use us to handle buybacks, trade-ins, and recycling of old tech. Our focus is on automating asset tracking, simplifying purchasing, and managing vendors so companies keep accurate inventory, reduce costs, and avoid manual spreadsheet chaos.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the team is located and the center of our target B2B market. Staying local helps us work closely with early users and suppliers.
