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

We build specialized machine learning models that encode a company's user-trajectory data to deliver better product and design insights at lower latency and cost than standard approaches. Our product sits at the intersection of reinforcement learning and product analytics to help engineering and design teams optimize user experience efficiently.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company will remain based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we're already building our product and engaging with early users in product and engineering teams. Staying here keeps us close to our customers and the ecosystem we need to grow.
