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

We are building gitdot, a developer platform that improves on GitHub by focusing on workflows that teams actually use and fixing pain points GitHub neglects. Our product helps small to mid-sized engineering teams manage repositories, code reviews, and collaboration more efficiently without GitHub's complexity and overhead.

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

We live in New York City and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where both founders live and work, and the engineering talent we rely on is here. We want to stay connected to the local ecosystem while building a product for engineers everywhere.
