Simplest way for couples to manage money

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

We built an app that lets couples track their bills, bank balances, and spending together. It helps partners communicate about money by making shared finances transparent and easy to understand, which is a problem no existing app solves well for couples.

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

We live in New York City and San Francisco. After YC, we plan to be based in one location depending on team and market dynamics.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started in New York City and San Francisco because that's where we live, but we want to be flexible in choosing the best place post-YC to grow the company and be close to users and investors.
