After School & Enrichment Activities Marketplace

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

We built a marketplace that connects schools with vetted vendors offering after-school and enrichment programs. Our platform simplifies booking, organizing, and managing these activities in one place, cutting through a fragmented and time-consuming process.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and work. The city has a strong tech ecosystem and access to our earliest users, which makes it the natural place for HOKALI to base itself.
