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

We're building Hublo to make data-driven marketing simpler by giving marketers a straightforward tool they can set up themselves. They can track exactly what's happening on their websites and launch remarketing campaigns without needing to involve IT every time. It's built for marketers who want quick answers and action on their analytics without technical headaches.

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

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and the company would be based here initially and after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Paris because that's where all three founders live and have built the initial product and user base. We want to keep close to our early customers and maintain the team's current base of operations.
