Flike's AI crafts sales emails that convert

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

We built an AI that learns from your product marketing knowledge and helps sales teams generate emails that fit your brand voice across the entire sales funnel. It's designed for sales reps who waste time writing cold outreach or follow-ups that don't get replies. Our AI generates personalized emails based on your own marketing materials and customer data, making each touchpoint relevant and aligned to your style.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to our target customers and top AI talent. We want to stay in the Bay Area to build relationships with YC, potential customers, and investors.
