Mobile sharing of places with photos and maps

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

We built Flagr, a mobile app that lets users share places by adding photos, videos, and descriptions right from their phones. Users can then create custom maps of these shared places and embed them on any website. It's designed to make location sharing social and visual without complicated tools.

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

We live in New York, USA, and plan for Flagr to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in New York because it's where we live and where we've started building Flagr with early users. Staying here lets us move fast and stay focused without the distractions of relocating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Flagr YC application?

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