Verify industrial machinery is greased right

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

We make a hardware and software system that checks if industrial machines are greased properly. Mis-greasing is the top cause of machinery failure, and our product catches that early, helping maintenance teams avoid costly downtime and repairs.

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

We live on the Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia, and after YC we plan to operate from there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose the Sunshine Coast because it's our home and where we've built the product and relationships. Maintaining local operations keeps us close to early customers and manufacturing partners while traveling to YC in the Bay Area.
